    We arrived and were warmly greeted by Lynne. She was happy and easily approachable. She provided us with some guidance on the area and was keen to hear of our adventure at the end. Once settled at the property we didn't see or hear from the owners but felt we could reach out if needed. Had a wonderful stay at this accommodation.

    Not really anything

    A stunning location... so quiet and relaxing. The only sound we heard were the birds, and the occasional sheep. I'm an early riser and had my morning coffee on the verandah and each day I watched a little fox wander past the lake... he sure had the bunnies scurrying! The villa was very well equipped with a coffee machine, cooking facilities, a combustion wood fire (and plenty of wood with stocks replenished daily), a lovely ensuite, and a very comfy firm king bed with crisp clean linens. Lovely local produce supplied in the breakfast hamper and local bath products in the ensuite (Washpool). Hosts Chris & Lynne were exceptional... nothing was too much trouble. We'll definitely be back :)

    No laundry so had to do laundry in town

    Beautiful grounds and beautifully presented little cottages in picturesque surroundings. Our cottage had a fireplace and reserve cycle air conditioning which was necessary as it was cold. Firewood was easily accessible. Breakfast hamper was great as well and kitchen was well stocked and practical. Cottage was very comfortable for long stays. Our hosts were very welcoming and friendly.

    We had a wonderful stay at Granite Gardens Cottages and Lake Retreat. We stayed in the Lake Retreat and it was absolutely beautiful—cosy, peaceful and very comfortable. The cottage had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway, including a fireplace, a well-appointed kitchen, and generous breakfast provisions. The owners were incredibly welcoming and made us feel right at home. Their local knowledge and personalised recommendations for things to do and places to eat in Stanthorpe were spot on—we appreciated them all and they really enhanced our trip. Just 10 minutes from town, the retreat feels like its own private haven of tranquillity. We loved every minute and would happily return.

    The only negative was that I was hoping for snow, but we still had a lovely time.

    Chris and Lynne are wonderful hosts and made us feel very welcome. The breakfast hamper is very generous, and the cheese board, rocky road and other little extras were very much appreciated. Loved sitting by the fire and taking in the wonderful view. We enjoy coming to this special place and look forward to our next visit.
