Queensland is a state in northeastern Australia, a tourist destination known for endless coastlines, tropical islands, over 200 national parks, and must-visit cities. The capital Brisbane boasts a dramatic cityscape, thanks to its setting on the Brisbane River. Iconic attractions, such as Story Bridge, The Wheel of Brisbane, and Brisbane City Botanic Gardens, can be found here. If you think the capital city is too crowded, you can take a detour to Whitsunday Islands. There you’ll enjoy white-sand beaches and scuba-diving hotspots. You can not wrap up your Queensland holiday without visiting the Great Barrier Reef, one of the continent’s 11 World Natural Heritage sites. For accommodation, would you prefer quiet vacation rentals away from the hustle and bustle of city life? Browse through this list of the best secluded cabins in Queensland, Australia.
