The Witta Chapel & Bird’s Nest | Country Estate Shoot Location | Sunshine Coast, QLD

A storybook escape nestled in the Sunshine Coast hinterland, The Witta Chapel and Bird’s Nest Country Estate is a character-rich location built for creative immersion. This one-of-a-kind shoot property pairs timeless elegance with rustic charm across more than an acre of meticulously landscaped grounds—complete with a chapel-turned-residence, a second guest cottage, converted stables, and a natural creek at the property’s edge.

From the moment you enter via the circular maple-lined driveway, framed by a white picket fence and timber arbour, the scene is set for something truly special. The main residence—The Chapel—was originally built in 1995 to host small wedding ceremonies and has since been lovingly reimagined into a private, high-end estate. Vaulted ceilings, statement windows, French doors, and exposed beams define the architecture, while lush gardens and layered outdoor zones provide an ever-evolving backdrop for shoots of all styles.

Inside The Chapel, you’ll find grand, light-filled spaces furnished with designer pieces and warmed by a large wood-burning fireplace. Every corner has been considered: from the soaring living area and open-plan dining to the tranquil alfresco deck overlooking the gardens. The interiors mix vintage textures with modern comfort—ideal for lifestyle campaigns, fashion editorials, and stills that require softness, warmth, and narrative.

Loft bedrooms with stained glass windows and antique furnishings lend themselves beautifully to period-style content. The master ensuite, complete with clawfoot tub, is a hero set piece in itself. And for multi-day productions or larger crews, The Bird’s Nest—a separate, self-contained two-bedroom cottage—offers additional shooting zones and breakout areas, complete with barn doors, timber floors, and country charm.

Beyond the homes, the estate continues to unfold. A reimagined laundry space opens into a shady alfresco dining area through bifold doors. The original stables have been transformed into a moody retreat perfect for styled shoots, interviews, or downtime during larger productions. A creek just past the property line adds to the romantic, untouched atmosphere.

From golden-hour portraits at the fire pit to fashion shoots under the towering trees, every inch of this estate offers rich visual payoff and flexible shoot potential. Whether you're creating editorial magic, capturing product content, or hosting a refined creative workshop, The Witta Chapel and Bird’s Nest delivers elegance, depth, and production ease in a single location.
