Country air, country life... You will stay in a unique Queenslander which is now over 100 years old. Polished floors and high ceilings are part of the building's charm.

Don't be fooled by the quiet appearance of our town, there is plenty to do if you know where to look. Fancy a trip to a local winery? What about a walk through a National Park where bird life abounds and the creek bubbles alongside the track.

You can amble along country roads with views that will take your breath away. You can step back in time and go to the drive-in picture theatre in good weather. You can do as much or as little as you want. Just come, you won't be disappointed.
