Boult-on Inn, a seaside cottage in the country

This two-bedroom cottage in town brings an unexpected coastal feel to the Granite Belt. The interiors blend seaside calm with country comfort, while the functional kitchen and cosy living spaces make it easy to settle in for a few days. Outside, a generous covered area at the back is perfect for lingering over regional wine and cheese, and there's a fire pit in the large yard when the evening cools down. Wood and warm throws are provided for the indoor fireplace.

You can walk to Stanthorpe's main street from here, and the front verandah looks out toward the post office clock and Mount Marley. The cottage sleeps four and welcomes pets, with practical touches like room-darkening shades, a workspace, laundry facilities and a sound system. It's a straightforward, comfortable base with a relaxed atmosphere that sets the tone from the moment you arrive.
