6. Mallow Cottage (from USD 189)
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?

10. year-old Dillon's Cottage
This 100-year-old family cottage suits everything from a romantic couple getaway to a whole family outing.
