Comfortable old Queensland farm cottage

In this comfortable old Queensland cottage, my family was provided with just what we needed as a home base to unwind and relax every evening after visiting relatives in the area during the day. Everything was very clean and extremely comfortable, and the sound of nature at night and in the morning was an absolute treat! It was a delightful experience for us all, and we really enjoyed spending our time in such an authentic 'old world' setting. Thank you!

Affordable family-friendly cottage with the lot!

Our second family holiday at TTR was as relaxed, budget-friendly and well-equiped as our first stay. From the little touches like complimentary bikkies and ice blocks and cold water in the fridge, to the clean, quaint and comfy living spaces and bedrooms, fully functional oven and washing machine that kept us well fed and in clean clothes plus a full size bath with piping hot water! We also discovered the joys of traditional qurrnslander windows in keeping us cooler in the steamy wet season! We will definitely be back again!

Feels like home

We loved staying at Tablelands Tranquil Retreat. This Queenslander is for people who like character and a place that feels like home. It is in the most beautiful location, sparkling clean and has everything you could possible need, a firm but comfy bed, lots of hot water for showering and the fireplace was useful for the cooler weather. There are some lovely touches such as beautiful stained glass and a someone talented has painted flowers on the walls in a few places around the house. The cottage is right next door to the main house but you can only see it when you're coming up the driveway, when you're inside you can't see the main house. We will definitely be back.

For the price, this place has everything you need. Bed was extremely comfortable and kitchen was very equipped. So close to everything, only 8mins to Malanda. We even saw 3 cassowaries 200ms down the road one morning. We arrived and had complete peace and quiet for 5 glorious days. We would 100% stay again.

It was ideal to see the table lands. Visit all the waterfalls. The only thing is we didn't like is the sitting arrangement, it only had one couch, and that was very uncomfortable. But other than that, it was perfect
