Cottage

On offer are our three cottages:The Garden Cottage, nestled into our sprawling garden(so close to the creek you can hear it),The Lakeside Bungalow perched on the edge of our lake,where you can step off the deck and onto the jetty, dip your feet in the water and take in the magnificence of Mt Barney, Mt Maroon and other peaks of the scenic rim or The Hill Station - a renovated railway station reminisent of the Orient Express with 360 degree views of the mountains.
All our cottages have fully equiped kitchens, wood heaters and CD players.

Our lakeside bungalow is a little different. The decor is earthy exotic - all materials are natural, the colours warm and the furnishings exotic.
Creature comforts include LCD TV(for DVD viewing only),queen size bed with views to Mt.Barney across the lake, bathrobes,sunken spa also with water and mountain views, a/c, a telescope and a BBQ on the deck. The dining nook built for two has an intimacy that's special and yes, it also has water and mountain views.
The Hill Station has a 4 poster queen size bed and also a sofa which converts to a queen size bed. It has a dishwasher,LCD TV,DVD,double spa and its own bar and wine fridge.
Our garden cottage is rural in style, with it's own cottage and herb garden. The open plan living area has a lovely old piano and all the trimmings that make it more like a home than a guest cottage. This is a large cottage with 3 bedrooms; a four post queen size in the main bedroom,a queen in the second and 2 singles in the third. The cottage has a gas BBQ and teak dining setting on the shingle roofed verandah.

We planted our vineyard in January 2003 with over 1000 grafted vines on a small ridge beside the bungalow.Our range includes a rose,merlot petit verdot, a sauvignon blanc semillon and a shiraz, all of which are provided in the cottages and can be matched to our meals which can be delivered to your cottage.

"What a relaxing time this has been.
Such a romantic setting, its like falling in love all over again (10 years married). Love the spa, it was like stepping into one of those gardening magazines - can't wait till our next visit." Mark and Karen Jan 03

"A LOT more than expected. Out of this world surroundings. Good company, dogs included. BBQs great! Walks great! Vineyard great! Hidden treasure for 1 1/2 hours away from Brisbane"
Hayley,Chris,Braydon & Tarryn June 05
