Upstairs, you’ll find the queen-sized bedroom, whilst walking down the steps you’ll come to the main lounge area with its cosy furnishings and wood fire! They also welcome pets, so your beloved pooch can come along for the holiday, as well.

6. Mallow Cottage (from USD 506)
The highlight of this self-contained rental has to be the fact that it is nestled into the hosts’ beautiful, certified organic lamb farm, just 15 minutes’ drive west of Stanthorpe. The hosts have gone out of their way to decorate the rental using only sustainable or salvaged materials and furnishings and this makes it very homey. We also love the spaciousness and the outdoor patio areas of the rental, plus the cute lambs on site. What more could you need?

8. The Radford Couples Cottage
With its black leather seating and polished wooden furnishings, this cottage has taken a more modern approach. Suitable for up to four guests, we particularly love the sunroom, which is ideal in the mornings for breakfast. Included is free parking on site, a fantastic fireplace and a well-stocked kitchen. However, it is worth noting that there is no WiFi, but with a short, 10 minutes’ walk to local shops and restaurants, you won’t miss it!

10. year-old Dillon's Cottage
This 100-year-old family cottage suits everything from a romantic couple getaway to a whole family outing. There is a fully stocked kitchen but if you don’t feel like cooking, there is an award-winning Italian restaurant just a short walk from the property. There are a number of different renting options, so be sure to contact the host directly. Worth noting that there is no WiFi but we think that this adds to the charm!
