Twisted Gum Cottage  

In the mountains above Ballandean, a wine-country cottage a short drive from Aventine Wines and Symphony Hill Winery. Close to Girraween National Park and nature refuges like Tinkerbell and Scotney, it’s a quiet base for hikes and cellar-door hops.

Neighbour-free and private, Twisted Gum Cottage blends warm, homely décor with modern comforts. Rooms have fireplaces, flat-screen TVs and private furnished patios. The self-contained kitchens include full-sized refrigerator/freezer, oven, stovetop, microwave and coffee/tea maker; some rooms offer a DVD player, ironing and limited housekeeping.

An attached winery complements a terrace and garden for slow afternoons. Picnic areas and barbecue grills make al fresco dining easy. Expect gum-tree mornings and clear mountain air.

Free self parking is available onsite.
