SHANLYN FARM RETREAT
STAY ... BrEATHE, rEMEMBER, rECONNECT
Shanlyn Farm - An adults-only eco retreat in the sunshine coast hinterland
Set on 11.11 sacred acres in Traveston, Queensland, Shanlyn is a place to slow down, breathe deeply, and be held by the beauty of nature.
This sanctuary was created with love and intention — a living legacy built from a shared dream of stillness and simplicity.
Here, the rhythm of the land invites you to rest, remember, and rediscover what matters most.
Mornings at Shanlyn begin with mist rising from the paddocks, soft light spilling through the trees, and birdsong echoing across the valley. Evenings invite reflection — around the fire, under wide skies, or in the quiet of your own company.
Whether you come seeking peace, a romantic escape, or a healing space to honour your story, Shanlyn offers a retreat that feels both grounding and transformative.
Stay in our rainforest Solace Dome, the vintage Little Soho Caravan, or simply visit to walk Shane’s Spiral Labyrinth and sit in the stillness of Satya Deck.
Let the land meet you where you are — gently, quietly, completely.
STAY… Breathe, Remember, Reconnect.

Each accommodation at Shanlyn has its own spirit, yet all share one intention: to create a space where you can truly rest.
From the off-grid Solace Dome tucked into rainforest trees to the soulful charm of the vintage Little Soho Caravan, every detail is curated for comfort, warmth, and a deep sense of belonging.

Solace Dome
Where modern design meets natural simplicity.
Nestled within the rainforest edge, Solace Dome offers a tranquil off-grid escape — solar-powered, self-contained, and lovingly styled.
Inside, a queen bed with natural linen, private ensuite, and soft light filtering through the trees create an atmosphere of deep calm.
Solace was named for what it offers — peace after the noise, stillness after the storm. It’s a space for couples seeking reconnection, solo travellers needing rest, or anyone ready to pause and breathe.
little soho
Nostalgic charm. Creative soul.
This lovingly restored 1968 caravan is where vintage warmth meets countryside quiet.
With its private outlook, soft lighting, and natural textures, Little Soho invites you to unwind, reflect, or rediscover your creative spark.
Perfect for one or two, it’s a space that feels intimate, magical, and filled with heart.
The morning view across the paddocks is often described as “medicine for the soul.”
satya deck & shane's spiral labyrinth
A sacred space for reflection.
Satya Deck overlooks the sunrise and holds space for meditation, journaling, or quiet connection around the fire bowl.
Below, Shane’s Spiral Labyrinth offers a walking meditation — a symbolic journey inward and back again.
Many guests come to walk in remembrance, to release, or simply to feel grounded again.
You are welcome to walk the Spiral at your own pace, in silence or prayer, guided only by your breath.
about shanlyn - a healing farmstay of love and legacy
Shanlyn is more than a place — it’s a story of love, loss, and legacy.
The name blends Shane and Lynne — two souls whose shared dream became a sanctuary for others to find peace. After Shane’s passing, Lynne continued the vision they began together — to create a space where love endures and healing unfolds naturally. What began as a simple farm evolved into a retreat for the heart, where guests can rest, reflect, and reconnect with themselves and with nature.
The property spans 11.11 acres — a number that has come to symbolise alignment, awakening, and the meeting of the seen and unseen.
Every part of the land reflects that balance: the domes shaped for calm, the deck open to the sunrise, the labyrinth that honours remembrance, and the gentle animals who remind us to move slowly.
Shanlyn stands as a living expression of grace — proof that even after great change, beauty continues to grow.
It’s a space that honours the full circle of love and loss, grounded in nature’s rhythm and open to everyone who seeks stillness.
Guests often say that when they arrive, they immediately feel their bodies exhale.
It’s more than accommodation — it’s a feeling of coming home to yourself.
Our Purpose - To create experiences that restore balance, inspire reflection, and offer peace through nature, beauty, and gentle connection.
grief & healing - gentle nature-based retreats and reiki
Grief is not something to fix — it’s something to honour. At Shanlyn, you’ll find gentle ways to meet your loss and rediscover your strength, surrounded by the healing presence of nature.
Each element of the land — the labyrinth, the sunrise deck, the soft rhythm of animals grazing — holds a quiet invitation to remember differently. Through rest, ritual, and reflection, guests often find a renewed sense of peace and purpose.
Offerings:
🌿 Reiki Healing Sessions – An energy balancing session designed to calm the body and soothe the nervous system.
🌿 Gentle Grief-Tending Conversations – Heart-centred sessions that hold space for what words can’t always express.
🌿 Labyrinth Walks & Ceremonies – Guided or self-led experiences for reflection, release, and remembrance.
🌿 Personal Rest Retreats – Private, self-guided stays for individuals seeking time and space for healing.
You don’t have to arrive knowing what you need. Simply come as you are — the land will do the rest.

A glimpse into stillness
Shanlyn is a living landscape — shifting light, soft air, the sounds of life moving gently. Each image tells a story of quiet moments: morning light through trees, the dome glowing at dusk, the labyrinth under moonlight, a peacock crossing the path.
This is the everyday magic that happens when you pause long enough to notice.
Guest Reviews
Each reflection reminds us why Shanlyn exists — to offer a place where people can rest, feel safe, and reconnect with themselves. We’re deeply grateful for every stay and every story shared here.
"We loved everything about this stay. Immaculate and beautifully designed. Lynne was so friendly & welcoming. The place & surroundings were so relaxing, peaceful & having the donkeys come visit us was an absolute highlight!
Yoga at sunrise at the labyrinth overlooking the mountains was something else. Lots of personal touches to make us feel special. Highly recommend & can't wait to stay again!"
