The property
Nestled in the heart of the Sunshine Coast hinterland, Nelly is a brand-new, beautifully converted shipping container that offers the perfect escape for those seeking a unique and intimate getaway. Surrounded by stunning views, this one-of-a-kind retreat invites you to relax, unwind, and embrace nature in a cozy, yet stylish space.
Enjoy evenings roasting marshmallows by the outdoor fire pit, soaking in the starry sky, or cooking up delicious pizzas on the Gozney Roccbox. As the sun sets over the hinterland, pour yourself a glass of wine, relax in the outdoor bath, and take in the breathtaking scenery while the birds sing.
Nelly features a spacious, open-plan layout where the bathroom, kitchenette, and bedroom flow seamlessly into one another. There are no doors between these areas, creating a light, airy, and inviting atmosphere. Perfect for those who love a minimalist, cozy environment with everything you need just steps away.
The kitchenette is equipped with a Nespresso machine for your morning coffee, a Smeg kettle and toaster, and a 90L fridge with a built-in freezer compartment. We provide a starter pack for breakfast, including tea, Nespresso pods, milk, local honey, butter, eggs, sugar, and a seasonal treat. Should you have any dietary preferences, just let us know—we’ll be happy to accommodate. On the patio, you’ll find a Gozney Roccbox and Weber BBQ for outdoor cooking, plus two comfy lounge chairs for you to relax and soak in the views. For dining, a four-person table on the grass awaits, perfect for meals or games. Please note: While we do not offer a gas cooktop, oven, or microwave inside, we encourage you to embrace the outdoor cooking experience with the Gozney Roccbox for wood-fired pizzas and the Weber BBQ, both perfect for creating delicious meals under the open sky.
Wake up to panoramic views from your bed with large windows on the side and in front of the container. The bed features premium linens and offers convenient storage space underneath for small suitcases. The space is climate-controlled with reverse air conditioning and fans for warmer days, plus an extra duvet for cooler nights. Plus, the block-out blinds allow you to indulge in a refreshing nap at any time of day, ensuring you can fully relax whenever you need.
Connected to the kitchenette is a small but stylish bathroom with a rain shower, concrete basin, and mirror. We provide hand soap, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash for your stay.
In addition to the patio, you'll have access to a second exclusive outdoor seating area, complete with a fireplace, lounge chairs, and a handmade outdoor bathtub that comfortably fits two people. The tub features both hot and cold water, making it perfect for year-round relaxation.
We offer a firewood package that includes a lighter, firelighters, marshmallows, marshmallow forks, and firewood. Additional firewood can be purchased for $20 per bag during your stay.
Whether you're seeking a romantic escape or a peaceful retreat, Nelly offers everything you need to recharge and reconnect with nature. We can’t wait to welcome you!
Guest access
Guests have full access to Nelly and its surrounding outdoor areas, including the fire pit, barbecue, pizza oven, and handmade outdoor bath—exclusively for your use. You’ll enter through your own private driveway, ensuring complete privacy and seclusion throughout your stay.
While there is another short-term rental, Into The Woods, on the property, it is located separately. Guests of Into The Woods do not have access to the spaces reserved exclusively for Nelly, ensuring your experience remains peaceful and private.
When you park near the stables, you’ll find a seating area reserved for Into The Woods guests, located about 30 meters away. The entrance to Nelly and your designated parking area are about 40 meters in the opposite direction, making your space even further from the Into The Woods seating area and ensuring complete privacy throughout your stay.

We’re committed to making your stay as comfortable and convenient as possible! To give you flexibility, we offer self check-in through a lockbox, so you can arrive at your convenience, anytime after check-in. If you ever have questions or need any help during your stay, don’t hesitate to reach out—we’re always just a text or phone call away. Whether you prefer privacy or need assistance, we’re here to support you and ensure you have a wonderful experience.
