QUEENSLANDER STYLE - TIMBER COTTAGES WITH A HISTORY
There is a distinct touch of Autumn in the air.... well at least early morning and evening. The sun has lost its sizzle, the light is creamier and softer, shade and shadows tie a change of look to the garden.
The cottages offer a quiet retreat.... foodie magazines to flip through, the patina of old silky oak and pine furniture and the green surrounding hills.
What plans do you have for the first weekend in May?? We're celebrating the FEAST OF THE 3 SAINTS on SUNDAY 5TH MAY with a LONG TABLE LUNCH IN THE WINERY. (See Our wines column to the right for info>)
BETTER STILL... Why not make a weekend of it - Book a cottage, come to the Lunch on SUNDAY 5TH and enjoy THE FELLINI FILM FESTIVAL @ THE PARAGON THEATRE on SATURDAY 4TH
Head to our NEWS PAGE >> FOR A 3 DAY PLAN!

WHAT'S HAPPENING IN & AROUND THE CELLAR DOOR
Autumn has arrived. The afternoon sun streams into the lounge room at a different angle, softer and less harsh, illuminating silky oak to show its honeyed grain. The rain forest garden is leafy and green, just a touch of red and purple from the Ixora and Ginger.
The Cellar Door spills out onto the shady Verandah, welcoming you to escape the bustle of the outside world.
We're OPEN 7 days 10 am - 4pm .... but phone first if making special trip. (We don't like to disappoint.)

IT'S JUST SO NICE!
We really needed a break, just a day or two away from our busy lives and this was just the place. It was more than we expected... breakfast on the front verandah, cows grazing on the hill. We slept soundly! We will be back. K.G. Toowoomba May 2018
The reason for my stay was business related but staying here was a bonus I had not expected! read more...
Rustic scenery, good wine, beautiful Queensland weather...
What more do you need for a great getaway!
Welcome to Mango Hill Cottages & Hill Of Promise Winery. Mango Hill Cottages is a Bed & Breakfast accommodation establishment situated just south of Childers, Queensland, Australia.
Hill Of Promise Winery is the perfect holiday attraction while visiting the area. Wine tastings at the cellar door are free so bring along a picnic basket - or even something as simple as a loaf of crusty bread and cheese- to enjoy after a tasting.
Childers, ideally placed half-way between the regional towns of Maryborough and Bundaberg, is on the Bruce Highway, three and a half hours drive North of Brisbane, making it perfectly situated to explore the beauty of South East Queensland.
Mango Hill Cottages offers the chance to escape to the private cosiness of your own timber cottage and enjoy the warmth of traditional, country hospitality at the same time.
Relax and unwind amidst a peaceful rural setting...
We love our little patch of the planet and we would love to share it with you - even if only for a slice of time!

A CLEAR SKY AND A FULL MOON
HI MARY AND TERRY
Hi Mary. Your cottage is a very quiet and calm place. We really enjoyed our stay. Watching the full moon from the front verandah was a highlight.

A GREAT STAY, MARY! Please thank your neighbour for the brilliant fire display. Great night-time viewing from the front verandah! M and N BRISBANE 01 May 2017
WE WANTED SOMEWHERE SPECIAL FOR SOMETHING SPECIAL AND IT WAS!
Hectic lives, busy jobs, kids..... need somewhere not too far away but relaxing. Quick phone call to Mary had a few plans put in place. We both enjoyed some 'just us' time. Wine tasting, easy meal on the verandah watching the night sky. Hmmm.... life's pretty darn good. Thanks, Mary and Terry.
