Things to do nearby
The Granite Belt is a picturesque Queensland wine region known for its cool climate wines, with some of Australia’s highest vineyards at over 1000 metres.
With over 50 wineries to explore, you can sip your way from established names like Ballandean Estate and Golden Grove Estate to hidden gems like Summit Estate.
Beyond the vines, you can hike Girraween National Park to Donnelly’s Castle, visit a brewery or the Stanthorpe Cheese Factory, and discover truffles at the Truffle Discovery Centre.
It’s a year-round destination: autumn brings colourful foliage, winter brings cosy fireplace evenings, spring brings wildflowers and summer is made for outdoor adventures.
For something different, follow the self-drive Strange Bird wine trail to lesser-known wines, or go fossicking for semi-precious gemstones.
Food and drink
Ballandean Estate – Queensland’s oldest continuously operating winery – is a short drive away, pouring shiraz and verdelho worth swirling before dinner.
Stock the fridge at the local IGA, then let the pizza ovens and paddock-to-plate cafés dotted around the valley do the rest.
Come evening, crack a bottle of something local on the deck and toast the fact that your “cellar door” view is actually your bedroom window.
