About Us

A step back in time…. 1864

A beautiful 3 room cottage is completely lined with cedar, so that you can smell the ambiance as it would have been last century for our forefathers.  Snuggle up on the leather lounge infront of the fire.   All creature comforts are here, kitchenette, modern bathroom and your bedroom that looks out over the gardens.
We hope you enjoy your stay in our Winery Cottage.  We believe the cottage’s original occupants were well to do when the community here was in it’s infancy.

    Sight Seeing
    The Granite Belt is rugged and diverse, dotted with precariously balancing prehistoric granite boulders,  big sky panoramas, meandering creeks, gourmet produce and award winning boutique wineries.

    On the New South Wales Border just two-and-a half hours drive from Brisbane, the Granite Belt sits high on a plateau of the Great Dividing Range, more than 1000 metres above sea level, which feels
    like you are close to the heavens. The Granite Belt is small but diverse, stretching just 60kms from north to south and roughly half as wide.

    Adventure
    Walk around the natural Donally’s Castle for a small adventure or climb the Pyramid.
    40 Cellar Doors

    40 Cellar Doors

    Many people start at our wineries, with more than 55 vineyards and 40 boutique cellar doors. Innovative local winemakers are carving out an impressive reputation for the region with a range of awards.

    The Granite Belt is a versatile growing region due to its varying elevation which ranges from 700m to more than 1200m above sea level. Main wine styles include Chardonnay, Verdelho, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz. In recent years the Granite Belt has also proved a successful producer of more than 21 alternative varieties which are marketed under the Strange Bird brand. Dedicated to continuous improvement, we are home to the Queensland College of Wine Tourism.

    The best way to experience our wine region is to take a tour – and make someone else the designated driver. For more information or bookings see the Stanthorpe Visitor Information Centre.

    History

    It was all about Tin

    Historians record that Stanthorpe is the only town on the Downs which owes its birth to minerals and not agriculture. By 1872 the area was experiencing a mining rush, which gave Stanthorpe its name: stannum
    is Latin for tin and thorp is English for village. The rush brought people from many countries, and for a time became the largest alluvial tin mining and mineral field in Queensland. Gold, silver, copper, wolfram,
    arsenic and other important minerals were also found.

    .

    Biking & Hiking
    There are many tours on bike, for example 17kms – $95 per person – approx 3-4 hours total depending on the group and stops. Undulating terrain.

     

    Day Trips
    By private car, mini bus or coach there are also many companies offering comprehensive tours of the region..

    A secluded and gorgeous surprise cottage steeped in Local history. Easy access and lovely hosts. Wood heater and traditional decor, plus a warming complimentary port make it a romantic winter escape or a delightful Spring stopover when exploring the wineries..
    Helen

    We had a wonderful time here. It is well located to explore the wineries, fruits falls and the district in general!. We had a great time Therese. Thanks for sharing your wonderful cottage with us. Great location which allowed us to explore both the district and the wineries!
    Paul

    Awesome location for wine tasting and lovely old cottage.  Just spent two nights in he atmospheric and rustic cottage. Some lovely touches like the bottle of port to be enjoyed and the fireplace all ready to be lit. The cottage is also incredibly private with only the odd possum or bush visitor coming round. Perfect for those who value privacy. The fireplace and sofa and port is amazing and makes for a memorable stay. Nice one !!
    Mary

    We loved our stay in this beautifully restored cottage. It suited us – very private and quiet. About 15 minutes from Stanthorp; local fruit store 2 minutes; close to lots of National Parks for day trips and the wineries ………. thanks for our complimentary wine tasting. We would love to come back!!.
    Jean

    A great isolated place for those that like their privacy, but isn’t too far away from town. Looking forward to heading back!. Thank you so much for a lovely stay! We really enjoyed ourselves and are looking forward to be able to visit again in the future!
