About this space

Perched high in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland and set across 30 acres of open paddocks and bushland ridgelines, Round Hill Retreat is a design-forward cabin that balances architectural precision with raw, earthy beauty. Designed by architect Simon Dellosa, this location offers a cinematic blend of Australian landscape, European influences, and deeply considered interior styling—ideal for photo and film productions seeking natural light, mood, and texture in equal measure.

From its terracotta-toned living area layered in tactile finishes, to the moody, shadowy bedroom with sculptural lighting and a statement Eastern European tin bath, every element of the cabin has been curated for visual depth. Handmade ceramic brick tiles ground the space in warmth, while the materiality—plaster, timber, stone, tile—brings a richness to the frame that doesn’t require heavy styling.

One of the standout features is the circular mosaic-tiled shower—a show-stopping, sculptural zone wrapped in green that adds a sense of luxury, artistry, and architectural surprise. It’s a unique backdrop for editorial campaigns, wellness shoots, or atmospheric product content. The blurred lines between indoor and outdoor design are felt most strongly in the bedroom, where large openings invite nature into the frame and deepen the mood.

Step outside and the scope widens again. The pool sits proudly in the landscape, offering 360-degree views of Round Hill’s undulating terrain. From here, you can shoot across golden paddocks, back toward the curved lines of the cabin, or into the soft afternoon light that spills across the property. The European-inspired courtyard—anchored by an olive tree—offers a minimalist contrast and clean lines for lifestyle, fashion, or intimate brand shoots.

This location is intentionally peaceful, making it a strong choice for smaller-scale productions that need space and light without disruption. With natural textures, sculptural design, and a moody, creative tone running throughout, Round Hill Retreat offers an evocative setting for stories rooted in nature, design, and quiet luxury.
