The rooms were clean and fresh, the staff were very helpful and had excellent communication skills, walking distance to everything in town and very quiet. I will book here again for future trips.

We had booked another venue and a couple of weeks before it was discovered we were double booked and Girraween Country Inn was offered to us as we specifically wanted to attend the Apple and Grape festival. which we had done over the previous forty years. We had never stayed in the area before so wanted to spend some time exploring the areas we had previously just driven through.
We were unsure where the property was situated so took our time to find it. The directions were excellent as we arrived early afternoon.
There were also others staying at the accommodation who attended the festival so we were able to share experiences.
Our hosts Doug and Sherree did their utmost to look after us and we thank them for this.

The location was remote & very quiet. The road in was a bit rough.
The cottage was drafty but warm with the fire & air con going.
All facilities worked well & the beds were very comfortable.
Ballandean did not have anywhere to eat & Stanthorp only had one pub available on a Monday night. Couldn't find a restaurant open.
Unfortunately, our car broke down & it was impossible to hire a car within 100km of Ballandean.

We visited 6 wineries and enjoyed everyone for service and quality. Enjoyed Symphony Hill wines, Aventine Vineyard and Just Red Wines (all excellent). Had a great time at balancing heart (pizzas music) and host at giraween estate wines was fun. Wineries were close to James Farmhouse. We had lunch at Ballandean tavern and pizzas at Balancing Heart estate. Food was good.
Would have liked to stay a little longer and enjoy discovering more of countryside.
Family had a ball enjoying farmhouse facilities and Ballandean.

Ballandean is a small village with a pub for a quick meal. There is a very nice soaperie in the village which sells some beautiful aromatic soaps and handwashes. The surrounding countryside is picturesque and there are plenty of wineries in this district. The town of Stanthorpe is close byas is the Washpool Range with bushwalking tracks.
I would recommend the nearby University of Queensland Food and Wine School for a lunch meal. The food was excellent.

Wonderful place with lots of opportunity for wine and walking! It's great to be out in the fresh air and to connect with friendly, country folk - they really make the place! And the food tastes best in the country! Plenty to look at and explore.
Just Red Wines Cabins in Stanthorpe is the perfect chill-out spot. Picture waking up to stunning vineyard views, then spotting kangaroos while you’re wandering around the bush and checking out those huge granite rocks. It’s super quiet here, exactly what you need to unwind. Plus, you’re staying right on a winery, and there are heaps more plus some top-notch food options just a stone’s throw away in Ballandean. If you’re into wine, nature, or just need a break from the noise, this place is a winner :)
Cosy, comfy cottage - simple and clean, with everything needed to relax and nicely private. Great hosts, with sweet touches - like a port and chocolates on arrival, free plentiful chopped firewood. Great lookout over the property and over a dam. Some lovely walks on the property itself, which was great after a lunch up at Ballandean Estate!...and next door is Granite Ridge Winery - a short walk away. Great base for Girraween National Park.
Plenty of wood was provided for the oven to make a cosy fire for the living room in winter. Carol, our host, was very helpful and the lovely, warm sunny terrace was beautiful on the crisp wintery mornings. Conveniently located for the local Ballandean wineries and only 10 minutes drive to Girraween National Park. Overall a comfy and well equipped cottage.
spacious for two couples, close proximity to Ballandean and wineries.
Well suited for all seasons but fantastic fire place with plenty of wood and kindling.
A very big thank you to Noelene the hostess with the mostess. Great communication and genuine in wanting to assist us to enjoy our weekend with great tips on the local area.
Lovely facilities in a tranquil bushland setting. - more like a guesthouse than a hotel. The complimentary breakfast was fabulous. Short drive using the back roads to Girraween National Park or wineries. The managers, Shelly and Doug, were friendly and went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable. Great value for money.
it had everything we needed in the kitchen ,reverse cycle air conditioning and a very good log fire to stay warm also a heated blanket .the location was walking distance to Ballandean village good parking was right in front of entrance .When the sun shines on the rooftop the whole living area lights up with colours
Very peaceful location, close to the Ballandean wineries. Clean and comfortable, well stocked with tea and coffee, extra thoughtful touches of coffee plunger with beans to grind, port and chocolates. Fantastic communication from the owners including a great list of local places to visit.
Great location for visiting the Ballandean situated wineries. Also close to Giraween National Park. The cottage was more than enough space for a couple and was very well appointed. Beautiful sunsets of an afternoon. Would definitely stay again.
The surroundings were amazing and it was so close to everything in the Ballandean area. Lovely walk to the Severndipity Beach. The layout of the house was perfect for two couples. The host was very approachable and helpful prior to arriving.
Beautiful property, reminiscent of an Alpine hotel. Whisper quiet rural setting - beautiful flowering garden with a backdrop of gums & boulders.
Very welcoming hosts (including our tour guide collie Schnitzel) & delicious meals.
It was located in a beautiful winery, was well presented and had excellent facilities. The fire place and spa bath was my highlight. Freshly baked bread given with a fridge and pantry stocked for a yummy breakfast.
Location in Ballandean was absolutely perfect. Close to wineries and local convenience store.
Good distance from other cottages at the facility. Excellent communication from Hosts
