We are the professionals in expert cat care - they're not just cats and this is not just a job to us, they are our passion! We have four accommodation types to chose from, depending on your cat's personality and your budget. 10 separate suites (5 with direct view to marine aquarium) which have exclusive, alternative access into a large run.

These are our most popular suites. They are available in two different sizes, both with windows, a large window sill and jumping platforms. Based on the beautiful Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Hobbits Knob Cat Retreat also has an interactive Cat Cafe, where we house adult cats and provide training, enrichment and extra love & care in an exclusive cat friendly environment.
Services
Hobbits Knob Cat Retreat is owned and operated by Sunshine Coast locals Tania and Ivan. Tania has had a genuine passion for all creatures great and small, especially cats, from a very young age. She has previously worked as a Veterinary Nurse part time for 10 years, earning a Certificate IV along the way.
Hobbits Knob Cat Retreat has been specifically designed to keep cats free from the harsh Australian climate, predators, parasites and vermin. Our entire cat accommodation area is fully insulated, well ventilated and air conditioned with cooling for the summer and heating for the winter. It is lined with polished timber floors for that homely, relaxed ambience.
We have 5 different accommodation suites available at Hobbits Knob. Each suite has been personalized to suit both the length of stay and your cats personality and needs. All are furnished with chairs, bedding and cubby houses, which are completely cleaned between cats and frequently changed and cleaned during your own cat's stay.
Sanctuary Suites are made up of 10 separate suites (5 with direct view to marine aquarium) which have exclusive, alternative access into a large exercise enrichment space. The exercise enrichment space has a big forked tree trunk for climbing, scratching and discovering the "wild cat". Plants, tunnels, toys, cubes and multiple lounge chairs can also be found in this area.
Our Luxury Suites are walk in height with jumping platforms, plenty of room for a chair, cubby and comfy bedding. There are a number of suites which get plenty of natural lighting at various times during the day as they are opposite the window suites. These suites can house up to 2 cats from the same family for short stays.

Mind blowing how lovely this place is. Better than some hotels for humans. No doubt my little man is very happily holidaying right now at Hobbies Knob.

This place is a 6 star cat heaven !!!! We have used Hobbits knob on 6 occasions over the last 7 years and we couldn't be happier with the quality of care, the facilities for cats and customers alike, and the staff are absolutely brilliant. I want to say a massive thank you to the owner, Tanya, who offered to house our cats and a neighbours cats for free when we were evacuated from our homes due to the bush fire at Cooroibah that damaged out home.
you are brilliant, truly brilliant !!!!!

My senior cat has been exceptionally looked after by the wonderful staff at this cattery. She needs to see people & they locate her next to a people area, which gives her comfort. I feel she's in great hands & well cared for at this facility.

Beautiful and tranquil place nestled among the gum trees. Where else can you enjoy a relaxing hot beverage in the company of well behaved cats. We feel in love with many but sadly we took none home.
