The standalone, self contained cottages were very nicely presented and well equipped. The cottage had airconditioning and several heaters to cope with the cooler evenings. The bed was not as comfortable as I had expected for the presentation of the property which resulted in frequently disturbed sleep.

Very nice surrounds and property. Staff were great. Made sure we were offered opportunity to join other guests for twilight wine and cheese on adjacent property even though we arrived late. Whilst we didn't go, it was really nice to be asked. We'll be back.

Lovely stay and peaceful.
Had booked an overnight stay but unfortunately the room was double booked by another company. Simon, who manages the property was very accommodating and offered us another room and managed to find us an extra night as well. Rooms were very comfortable and spacious. Very quiet location with occasional traffic noise during the day but nothing too annoying. As we were travelling during the Christmas holidays and COVID restrictions, eating choices were limited around the area and had to venture to Stanthorpe for a couple of meals. Simon also organised a tour at Bent Road Winery which was an amazing experience. Overall, a very pleasant stay.

Vineyard Escape
We have stayed at the Vineyard Cottages a number of times as part of a group. This was our first stay as a couple at Vineyard Cottages and first stay under the new management. The cottages are still charming and the updates being made to the dining and lounge rooms have made for an even more pleasant stay. The cottages are well situated for Wine tours and a visit to Girraween National Park. We are already looking forward to our next visit to the area and Vineyard on Ballandean as it is now known will be on top of our list of accomodation options.

Gorgeous Gardens
The cottages are located very close to Girraween National Park and local wineries. The gardens are beautiful and we took some lovely photos in them. The inside of the cottage was clean but simple. The cottage was well-heated. Ours didn't have a kitchenette - just a kettle and fridge, but the owners provided us with a microwave and toaster. The restaurant serves lovely food.

requires a few tweaks to be good value
We had a relaxing stay at Vineyard cottages recently. It was central and comfortable . However not as private as hoped with staff & fellow guests walking around on your front porch ( a lovely outlook but apparently not private?) We were also put next to the septic system which smelt terrible. My husband being a plumber said there really was no excuse for this and he was quite annoyed to cope with that at $245 per night without breakfast !! We will be looking at other options next time as we didn't feel overall it was quite what we had expected for a romantic weekend away.
