Within this broader Sunshine Coast accommodation mix, a couples retreat in Nambour is particularly suited to:

Choosing Nambour – and especially the Lake Baroon area – means you can enjoy the wider Sunshine Coast while having a private sanctuary to return to each day.

Why Secrets on the Lake Is the Perfect Couples Retreat in Nambour
Secrets on the Lake stands out as a hero couples retreat in Nambour because it is designed specifically around romance, privacy and the natural beauty of Lake Baroon. This is not a generic resort that happens to welcome couples; it is a multi-award-winning rainforest retreat perched above Lake Baroon, with hand-carved treehouses crafted as intimate, one-of-a-kind spaces.
The property sits on acres of rainforest on the edge of Lake Baroon in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland. Ten individually themed luxury and penthouse treehouses are nestled in the canopy, reached via elevated carved boardwalks that wind through lush gardens and rainforest. Each treehouse has its own personality, artistic features and outlook, but they all share a focus on seclusion, lake or forest views and high-end comfort for couples.
Inside the treehouses and cabins, you will typically find features tailored to a couples retreat:
- Private spa baths or deep spa-style tubs positioned to take in Lake Baroon or rainforest views
- Glass-fronted or suspended fireplaces and plentiful firewood for cooler hinterland evenings
- Queen or king bedding, plush lounges and cosy interiors with hand-carved timber, leadlight windows, pottery and forged ironwork for an artistic, romantic feel
- Kitchenettes or full kitchens, plus private decks with barbecues so you can cook, dine and relax without needing to leave your treehouse every night
- Outdoor furniture and generous decks that frame sunrise, sunset and the changing light over Lake Baroon and the surrounding Sunshine Coast Hinterland
Breakfast provisions are included with accommodation, often arriving as a basket of breakfast items or vouchers for the onsite café. During the day, you can stroll the property’s walking paths and boardwalks, explore peaceful gardens, sit by the lake, or make use of kayaks and nearby walking tracks. For lunch or a lingering afternoon, Secrets on the Lake’s award-winning café and restaurant overlooking the lake – often referred to as Secrets Café & Deck or Dining on the Deck – serves fresh, locally focused food with panoramic views across Lake Baroon.
Because Secrets on the Lake is also a renowned romantic escape and wedding venue in Nambour, many couples choose it for special occasions. Hand-carved details, sculpted furniture, leadlight windows and bespoke artistry give each space a sense of story, making it feel more like a private hideaway than a standard room. Featured on national television as “the perfect romantic escape”, Secrets on the Lake has become shorthand for luxury couples retreats in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland.

Is your Couples Retreat suitable for last-minute getaways?

Absolutely. It’s the kind of place where anniversaries feel like they matter again—slow mornings, spa time, and that “we’ve got nowhere to be” feeling.
