The main living room is open plan - dining, big comfy leather couches, huge TV (with Netflix), a fully equipped kitchen, all cooking facilities and espresso machine. The adjacent laundry holds a large fridge as well as full laundry facilities. The lounge room opens to a beautiful deck with glass panels looking out into the trees. Three comfortable bedrooms have queen beds. The master suite is downstairs with an ensuite bathroom, a gas log fire and a pair of french doors opening onto the stone steps out to the garden. Bedrooms on the upper level have queen beds and include a shared full bathroom with a bath. Upstairs is an attic room which offers an office space and a sofa bed at an additional cost. The majestic rain forest style garden will beg you to get out into nature to enjoy the birdsong. Lots of walking trails from this property - leading you to walk to Kallista where you might want to enjoy breakfast, lunch or endless treats and eclectic shops - about 10 minutes walk. For the more energetic you can follow the Sassafras Creek trail to Sassafras village (which is just 6 minutes by car) or walk up to Olinda (again a short distance by car). Nathania Springs, Poets Lane, Marybrooke and Lyrebird Falls wedding receptions are all close by. This is a wonderful property to enjoy the unique blend of nature, nurture and a wonderful getaway.

Facilities were ok, however some of the instructions were vague. fireplace in lounge not well supplied with matches, kindling, etc, even though they were in the garage but no directions to them. Coonara downstairs pilot would not start. Provisions were very basic ##### Michael Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Megan S. Oct 28, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Weekend wonder We had come up for a wedding. House was perfect. Tranquil, warm and had everything we needed. Comfortable cosy beds and the loft room was the perfect place for our teenage grandson. Beautiful gardens, lots of birds, close to the towns in the area. We were a bit sad when we left as we could have easily spent another few days. Highly recommend for a girls weekend or family gathering. ##### Megan S.

We loved staying here! Tucked away in a quiet and relaxing valley. ##### Christine P. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Adults Only Resorts & Hotels in Mexico](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Mexico-Adults-Only-Resorts.0-0-d117-tAdultsOnlyResorts.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Musket Cove Island Resort & Marina](https://www.expedia.ca/Malolo-Lailai-Island-Hotels-Musket-Cove-Island-Resort-Marina.h2510693.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Miami Beach - Oceanfront by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Miami-Beach-Oceanfront.h41424.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Washington](https://www.expedia.ca/Washington-Hotels.d178318.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Baros Maldives](https://www.expedia.ca/Baros-Island-Hotels-Baros-Maldives.h1334001.Hotel-Information) > > [WyndhamHotels Hotels in Marathon](https://www.expedia.ca/Marathon-Hotels-Wyndham-Hotels.0-0-d4079--bWyndhamHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Cabin Rentals Harvie Heights](https://www.expedia.ca/Harvie-Heights-Cabins.d500752-aaCabins.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Motels New York](https://www.expedia.ca/New-York-Motels.d178293-aaMotels.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hotel HCC MontBlanc](https://www.expedia.ca/Barcelona-Hotels-Hotel-HCC-MontBlanc.h574232.Hotel-Information) > > [The Langham, Melbourne](https://www.expedia.ca/Melbourne-Hotels-The-Langham.h2112.Hotel-Information) > > [The Cliffs at Princeville](https://www.expedia.ca/Princeville-Hotels-The-Cliffs-At-Princeville.h9579040.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Business Bay](https://www.expedia.ca/Business-Bay-Dubai-Hotels.0-n6142654-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels near Station 2](https://www.expedia.ca/Station-2-Hotels.0-l6184375-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [The Hotel Windsor](https://www.expedia.ca/Melbourne-Hotels-The-Hotel-Windsor.h11362.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Victoria](https://www.expedia.ca/Victoria-Hotels.d4138.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Travelodge Hotel by Wyndham Montreal Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Montreal-Hotels-Travelodge-Hotel-By-Wyndham-Montreal-Centre.h12616.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Sánchez (AZS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/azs/vancouver-to-samana) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Lincoln (YFC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yfc/toronto-to-fredericton) > > [Flights from Dieppe (YQM) to Reserve Mines (YQY)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yqm/yqy/moncton-to-sydney) > > [Flights from Saskatoon (YXE) to Abbotsford (YXX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yxe/yxx/saskatoon-to-abbotsford) > > [Flights from Santa Cruz (FNC) to Lisbon District (LIS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/fnc/lis/funchal-to-lisbon) > > [Flights from London (LHR) to Bangkok (BKK)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/lhr/bkk/london-to-bangkok) > > [Flights from St. John's (YYT) to Cairo (CAI)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyt/cai/st-johns-to-cairo) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Goffs (YHZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yhz/toronto-to-halifax) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Mazatlán (MZT)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/mzt/calgary-to-mazatlan) ### Cars > [Hertz at 1369 Dundas St E Mississauga Ontario CAN](https://www.expedia.ca/Hertz-at-1369-Dundas-St-E-Mississauga-Ontario-CAN.v122543.Car-Rental-Guide-Location) ### Packages > [Halifax Shopping Centre](https://www.expedia.ca/Halifax-Shopping-Centre-North-End.d6198061.Vacation-Attraction) > > [Palace of Fine Arts](https://www.expedia.ca/Palace-Of-Fine-Arts-Marina-District.d502564.Vacation-Attraction)
