A Stanthorpe Getaway

Be aware when booking Rose Cottage it has aged considerably since the photos on the site. Also note the photos on the listing cover multiple properties. We were very shocked at the size and condition of the Cottage. The side sliding doors were unlocked when we arrived with no lock on the side sliding mesh door. The front door lock was very loose and felt like one good pull would have it open. The property is much smaller than looks in photos and very tired. We didn’t feel safe here and did not stay.

Was nice staying in the yurt-style unit as a quirky change from the norm. Great cooking facilities. A good number of local attractions. Short walk to the Ballardean pub (although the pub’s food was disappointing). Would stay here again. Want to visit again soon.

A old cottage adapted into a comfortable studio-style accommodation. Has an open fire which would be cosy in winter but creates a lingering smoky smell in the cottage (which moderates after you open up the doors and windows). Good value for money and very close to Girraween NP and a family friendly (newish) pub serving good food.
