Lovely accommodation in a great central location in the heart of the Granite Belt
10 mins from Girraween NP for some great bushwalking
Easy 20 min drive to Stanthorpe
Pub within walking distance down the road if you don’t want to cook or drive
Wineries galore 5 mins in any direction
The yurt was fabulous! Close to what we wanted and had everything we needed. The property was terrific and we will be back!

We had a fantastic time exploring the surrounding areas, coming back to a quiet yurt with everything we needed to make our stay comfortable.

Lovely spacious property with great kitchen and BBQ for home cooking. Close to local Ballandean wineries and lovely views over to the vineyards. Very peaceful comfortable stay.

Unique property close to local wineries. Feels quiet and away from hustle and bustle but close to amenities in Stanthorpe if needed

Was nice staying in the yurt-style unit as a quirky change from the norm. Great cooking facilities. A good number of local attractions. Short walk to the Ballardean pub (although the pub’s food was disappointing).
Would stay here again. Want to visit again soon.

I stayed in the Rose Cottage on this property and it was great! The most noticeable aspect of it was how well-equipped the accommodation was. WiFi was hit and miss but that wasn't a big deal.

A old cottage adapted into a comfortable studio-style accommodation. Has an open fire which would be cosy in winter but creates a lingering smoky smell in the cottage (which moderates after you open up the doors and windows). Good value for money and very close to Girraween NP and a family friendly (newish) pub serving good food.

James Farmhouse is an old home with plenty of room and some creature comforts. The wood fireplace saw use as 4 couples enjoyed a cool long weekend. Ample room in the lounge and dining. Nice gardens. The house had 2 bathrooms and 2 toilets and a meals table in the kitchen meant chats whilst meals were cooked. Plenty of cooking gear and options. Rear drinks area. Walk to the tavern or shop. Both basic but you could get a meal (book on weekends).

Be aware when booking Rose Cottage it has aged considerably since the photos on the site. Also note the photos on the listing cover multiple properties. We were very shocked at the size and condition of the Cottage. The side sliding doors were unlocked when we arrived with no lock on the side sliding mesh door.
The front door lock was very loose and felt like one good pull would have it open.
The property is much smaller than looks in photos and very tired.
We didn’t feel safe here and did not stay.
We had a fabulous stay. The house was exactly as described and the log burner an essential for the chilly nights. Washing facilities were excellent as was the endless supply of logs. It was a lovely home to come back to after walks in the Granite Belt
Thank you

Well laid out accomodation, lots of firewood/kindling to keep us warm (as well as air con), very short walk to local eateries and short drive to wineries. We chose not to cook but from what I saw the kitchen was well kitted out. Highly recommend.

A rustic cottage with everything you need.
We stayed in the Rose Cottage which looked a bit dated and rustic, and did not look very attractive on the outside. Once we went in, it was fine - clean, comfortable and cozy. Although we did not use the fire place, we could imagine it would be lovely in winter.
