An Off-Grid Escape with a Gentle Pulse

High on a ridgeline in Queensland’s South Burnett, The Firebreak invites you to slow down and breathe again. Two architect-designed cabins rest quietly among 160 acres of regenerative farmland, watching clouds drift across the Bunya Mountains. Built by hosts Ace and Kylea, the retreat takes its name from the firebreak that once protected the property — now a symbol of calm and renewal. Each cabin is a masterclass in pared-back design, where timber tones and soft light draw nature in at every angle. Days unfold easily: coffee on the deck, a dip in the wood-fired hot tub, or a long soak in the outdoor bath beneath the Milky Way. Wander to nearby Coomba Falls, explore Bunya Mountains trails, or stay put and watch the sky turn amber. At The Firebreak, stillness feels like luxury.
