    I highly recommend Granite Gardens Cottages and Lake Resort. My husband and I wanted a short getaway combined with some sightseeing and relaxtion. This property gave us that. With only 3 cottages on 35 acres, situated 5kms past Stanthorpe we felt relaxed as soon as we checked in. The gardens are lovely and the property is the perfect location for visiting the wineries and surrounding areas. You would need a car to get there. The cottage was well appointed with a spa bath and a fully stocked fridge with local produce for breakfast. Chris and Lyn thought of everything and were wonderful hosts. we will definitely be back.

    We enjoyed the whole experience while staying at the cottages for our 37th wedding anniversary. The place was peaceful and had everything we needed to have a relaxing time away. Keep up the good work you are doing an excellent job

    The breakfast was great and the location of the cottages was central to everything we needed. It was a pleasure to stay at the cottages. Will recommend the accommodation to our friends. My wife and I will return next year to celebrate Christmas in July.

    There was nothing we didn't like.

    Chris and Lynne have thought of everything. There were a few different options provided for breakfast, coffee machine and pods plus a selection of teas. The cottage was comfortable, and had a fireplace all set to light up on our first night. The surroundings are lovely, and provided us the peace and quiet we so desperately needed for our getaway.

    The cottage turned out to be such a lovely weekend retreat in the most serene environment. The beautiful breakfast hamper with local produce was a nourishing start to our day and Chris was super helpful with giving us recommendations for the area. Honestly, the interior of the cottage is so cute with a spa that we left feeling so relaxed and refreshed. And of course, Lynne’s famous rocky road did not disappoint!! We will definitely be back.

    The property exceeded our expectations.

    Communication with the owners was immediate. Granite Cottage Accommodation is a little out of town aiding to the the discrete, serene and relaxing ambiance. Woken gently by an assortment of beautiful birds, and relaxing on the porch in the night with an abundance of stars all around. Extremely comfortable bed and pillows, great water pressure in the shower and a generous spa with bath bombs, fluffy towels and robes. The owners have put love and dedication to Granite Cottages and added the thoughtful use of local produce and products including home made treats, a cheese platter, and fresh produce for breakfasts. Thank you, we would love to return in the winter to enjoy the in cottage fire place.

    There was nothing not to like. This place is perfect for couples or young families or a small group who want to have a very private and relaxing time away from home.

    Very private secluded location in between Stanthorpe town and Ballandean wineries. Lovely country style cottages overlooking a beautiful lake and park like surrounds and gardens. Fully equipped kitchen provisioned with all the breakfast items you could wish for. Wonderful hosts who made us feel at home on their beautiful rural property.
