Description
Escape to The Lost World Valley at Katandra Mountain Farm House which is just one and a half hours from both Brisbane and the Gold Coast. It is set in the picturesque Lost World Valley and overlooks the brooding mountains of Lamington National Park.
An ideal spot for a getaway or group function - there are three bedrooms and a bunk room - so bring a crowd. In winter curl up in front of the indoor open fireplace or year round outdoor camp fire setting. In summer there are great swimming spots in the creek and cooler mountain conditions. The big verandas are made to catch the breeze for a fine lazy time! Katandra is fully self-contained. It is well equipped with three toilets and showers, cookware, linen, video, book and music library. All you need to bring is your own food and drink.

General Comments
Hike, swim, fish, picnic at the old bush hut or just relax under the giant fig tree and read a book. There are plenty of activities further afield also with wineries, horse riding, Border Ranges National Park, country pubs and lazy drives!
You will be staying on a farm. Take a stroll through the olive grove or inspect the herd of cattle as they pop their heads over the house yard fence. Sheep and horse feeding and patting and also egg collecting is available by arrangement.
Most people take advantage of the great picnic spot by the creek in the old hut. Relax by the water as it flows down off the mountain peaks and get a feel for the times of more rustic living (Before returning to the modern comforts of the house of course). Swim or just chill out by the stream. It is a fantastic way to whittle away an afternoon.
How To Get There
From Brisbane or the Gold Coast make your way to Beaudesert. At the traffic lights in the centre of Beaudesert head south along Kerry Road towards Kerry and Darlington.
From Brisbane it is straight ahead through the lights and from Gold Coast it is left at the lights. Do not make the mistake of taking the Mt Lindesay Highway at this point. You want to be on Kerry Road (Satellite Navigation Systems will not tell you the correct road). You will know you are on the right road if you pass the golf club to your left as you leave town.
Set your trip meter at the lights and you will find Katandra is exactly 32.13 kilometres along Kerry Road. Do not take any turns or side roads. You will cross the Albert River several times. The last bridge crossing is Newton Bridge and Katandra is a few kilometres past that on the left hand side. It has a Mailbox with a green roof and rural number 3213 clearly marked. Take the left hand fork of the driveway after the driveway bridge crossing.
