Clear air, clear view, clear head

Set on 22 idyllic acres in the Sunshine Coast hinterland, Diggers Rest is a veteran-run retreat just for Defence members, veterans and their families.

With a welcoming atmosphere, comfortable cabins and plenty of space to camp under the stars, it’s the perfect spot to relax, reset and reconnect.

Kick back and chat with others around the campfire, lend a hand in the garden or simply soak up the scenic surrounds while you’re there.

I recently stayed in a wonderful cabin that has amazing views, walking tracks, a pool and farm animals. I hadn't had a holiday in three years and felt burnt out. Diggers Rest provided me with so much inspiration, connection, reflection, and plenty of well-deserved rest. I feel like a new man.
