Bella Vista Stanthorpe by the creek

What's close by?

Stanthorpe, and the places locals pair with it.

• Essen Restaurant

  Contemporary dining in Stanthorpe built around Granite Belt produce.

• Granite Belt Brewery

  Handmade beers and hearty plates a few minutes from town — an easy first evening.

• Mount Marlay Lookout

  The quick climb above town — granite boulders, winter mist and the best orientation view of Stanthorpe.

• Nicoletti Orchards

  Multi-generation stone fruit and apple growers on the Granite Belt.

• Quart Pot Creek parklands

  The creek that threads through town, with flat paths, picnic lawns and autumn colour.

• Stanthorpe Regional Art Gallery

  A serious regional collection in a quiet corner of town — good for a slow hour when the weather turns.

• Sentimental Rocks

  A boulder field on Stanthorpe's edge where granite slabs stack like a giant's game.

• The Folly Truffles

  Winter truffle hunts on a working truffière — one of Queensland's few.
