QUEENSLANDER STYLE - TIMBER COTTAGES WITH A HISTORY
When you live in a rural area, the weather is a topic that never leaves the table.
We were blessed with a decent downpour last week and the Purple gingers are in flower everywhere in the garden.
What a delight they are, but the bonus is the Native Blue Banded Bee that visits, attracted by the colour of the flower... or so I'm told. I look forward to his arrival each year and you hear him before you see him. There are several Purple Gingers in the Cottage garden. Come and see for yourself!
The cottages offer a quiet retreat.... foodie magazines to flip through, the patina of old silky oak and pine furniture and now the hummmm of the little native blue banded bee.

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...

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.
