Welcome to our newest Slow Stays member, Bellbird Rise Off-Grid Cottage 🎉

Take refuge in this country sanctuary in the upper Mary River Valley, in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland. A creek runs across the front of the property, setting the soundtrack for your stay, while you'll find the cottage high on a hill, surrounded by bushland.

The decor has a rustic hunting lodge vibe, while the well-equipped kitchen allows you to cook nourishing meals, best enjoyed on the balcony soaking in the fresh country air and the calls of the glossy black cockatoos and rosellas.

Slip into the sunken lounge on cooler nights and enjoy the cosy wood fireplace. In any season, the outdoor fire pit is the best spot to watch the sunset 🔥

Have you heard of bibliotherapy?

Award-winning book-blogger, and co-founder and host of The Bondi Literary Salon, Lucy Pearson, understands the power of books on your mental health better than most.

Her undying passion for books has seen her go on to train in book therapy and realise a new, niche career as a curator of libraries and book collections, for Slow Stays and hotels spanning the depths of Tasmania to a wellness club in Abu Dhabi.

We caught up with Lucy to find out exact what bibliotherapy is all about and how curated book collections are the latest must-have when it comes to the best Slow Stays.

Looking for a slice of old-world charm with a splash of poolside bliss on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland?

Say hello to — a 1940s treasure lovingly restored by our very own Katie, this place is brimming with character (think: mid-century finds, antique treasures, and handpicked art that each whisper their own little stories).

With a huge back deck, outdoor fire pit, and a pool begging for a lazy float, it’s the kind of spot where you’ll forget what day it is—and love every minute of it.

Just 20 minutes from the coast and a hop to Montville, it’s the perfect launchpad for a hinterland adventure.
