5 signs you need to escape to the country in a cabin made for two

June 10, 2025/Zarina Country Cabins

Like the changing seasons, we all reach a point where we need to pause, reset, and breathe deeply again. Sometimes, the signs are subtle. Other times, they’re impossible to ignore. We don’t always realise how much we need a break, until we finally take one.

If you’ve been feeling the pull to slow down here are five subtle (or not-so-subtle) signs your soul is begging to leave the city for a country retreat: 

  1. You’re constantly exhausted, even after sleeping.
    That tiredness isn’t just physical; it’s the weight of never switching off.
  2. You can’t remember the last time you heard nothing.
    Silence is healing and rare in the city. Your mind needs quiet to recalibrate.
  3. You and your partner pass like ships in the night.
    Life gets busy. Connection takes space. 
  4. Nature feels like a distant memory.
    If the only green you see is a traffic light, it’s time to trade screens for scenery.
  5. You’ve been saying “we should get away” for months.
    This is your sign. Stop saying it, start living it.

The good news is, that break you didn’t realise you were craving, is exactly what awaits you at Zarina Country Cabins in Witta, nestled deep in the heart of the Sunshine Coast hinterland. 

Just a short drive from Brisbane or the coast, Zarina offers something the city can’t, stillness.

Here, mornings begin with birdsong instead of alarms. Mist drifts lazily across the Blackall Range as you sip your coffee on the cabin deck, wrapped in a blanket and far from deadlines. The breeze carries the scent of dew-soaked grass and distant woodfires. Time moves differently. 

Zarina’s charming self-contained cabins are made for couples needing a real break, a private retreat where you can truly switch off. Think crackling fireplaces, big sky sunsets, and a night sky full of stars. This is where connection happens, without distractions.

Wander the winding backroads of Witta, visit local artisans, or do nothing at all. Whether you’re picnicking in the paddocks or soaking in a tub with a view, it’s about being present. Together.

So, if the city noise is getting loud and your soul’s been whispering for stillness, follow it here. To Zarina Country Cabins.
