The space
The Witta Chapel & Bird’s Nest – A Serene Winter Escape
Tucked away in the lush hinterland of the Sunshine Coast, The Witta Chapel and Bird’s Nest offer an unforgettable experience of warmth, character, and elegance across just over an acre of lovingly landscaped grounds. From the moment you arrive, the stately circular driveway lined with towering maple trees and a classic white picket fence sets a magical tone. A picturesque timber arbour marks your entrance into a property that feels like a storybook brought to life.
Step inside and be welcomed by soaring vaulted ceilings, majestic feature windows, and interiors filled with natural light. Designer furnishings and heritage touches blend effortlessly with modern luxuries, while a large wood-burning fireplace crackles in the main living space—perfect for curling up with a wine or book during the cooler months.
The Witta Chapel is the heart of the property, rich in history and beautifully restored. The open-plan living area spills out through bifold doors onto a spacious deck, where quality outdoor furnishings make alfresco dining or morning tea a true pleasure. A country-style kitchen fitted with premium Smeg appliances and a state-of-the-art coffee machine brings warmth and practicality to every meal.
This residence features three unique bedrooms and two bathrooms. The master loft suite boasts a king bed with luxurious linens and a clawfoot bath in the private ensuite. Two additional loft bedrooms are located on the opposite side of the house, connected by a charming family room—ideal for children or relaxed movie nights. Stained-glass windows, exposed beams, and nostalgic architectural details enrich every space.
The Bird’s Nest is a separate two-bedroom, one-bathroom guesthouse—ideal for extended family, friends, or those seeking added privacy. The master bedroom features a king bed with barn-door access to the bathroom, while the second bedroom offers two single beds. With its own living area and outdoor seating space, The Bird’s Nest is rustic yet refined, offering complete comfort just a short stroll from The Chapel.
Feathered with charm, the grounds are as captivating as the interiors. Highlights include:
The Rose Garden – Ideal for a sun-drenched winter lunch or an afternoon tea among the blooms. It’s the perfect setting for prawns and champagne or a tranquil moment with a book.
The Converted Laundry – Transformed into an indoor-outdoor dining space, it’s a favourite for happy hour, kids’ games, or a casual lunch with a view.
The Stables – Once used for racehorses, one of the original stables is now a charming retreat for adults. Enjoy a glass of whisky, play a game of darts, or simply watch the kids run wild across the expansive lawn and trampoline area.
The Fire Pit – As night falls, gather around to toast marshmallows, sip hot chocolate, and share stories beneath the stars. It's winter magic at its finest.
The Creek & Bergans Lane Walk – Just beyond the property lies a peaceful creek, perfect for kids to explore, and a beautiful 2.5km bushwalk through wetlands and open grassland—a trail once travelled by school children in the early 1900s.
Whether you're here for a romantic celebration, a family gathering, or a quiet escape, The Witta Chapel & Bird’s Nest promise a stay that’s rich in soul and comfort. The property is also perfectly suited for wedding preparations and pre-wedding photography, offering an idyllic backdrop of heritage charm and natural beauty.
