Josie's Cottage Private, hike, wineries, Nat parks

This self-contained cottage sits in its own private garden on a working rural property near Ballandean, with mountain views and plenty of birdlife. You'll share the broader landscape with local cattle, camels and kangaroos, while a dam on the property offers a quiet fishing spot. The hosts provide a welcome basket with continental breakfast supplies, and there's a firepit area with barbecue and firewood for starry evenings.

Inside, the main bedroom has a queen bed and ensuite bathroom, while the lounge converts to a double sofa bed for additional guests. The full kitchen comes stocked with basic cooking staples, and there's a wood fireplace for cooler months. You're ten minutes from Ballandean's wineries and within easy reach of Girraween, Sundown, Bald Rock and Boonoo Boonoo national parks for hiking. Stanthorpe is twenty-five kilometres away, Tenterfield twenty.
