A lovely rural experience, especially for families with children.

It is a great location for a family getaway. There are a farm animals for the kids to enjoy and a lovely bush walk. Considering how cold the region can get in winter, the heating facilities were very good. It was more than adequate and size for our group of seven.

Country charm.

The location was great. Having everything provided was fantastic, including milk and juice, eggs, bacon, bread, condiments etc for breakfast. The feeding of the Alpacas, Goats, and Peacocks gave us the country feel, but the highlight was watching our 18 month old granddaughter chasing the chickens through the garden.

We have been before and I think this is going to be a yearly event for us....the location is gorgeous and what is provided is amazing....plenty of food for breakfasts all provided....everything you could possibly want for cooking....and plenty of wood for fires. Also heaters and electric blankets in the rooms!!!! And the peacocks, goats and llamas are wonderful!!! It is a home away from home!!!

Perfect for a getaway with a couple of families with kids.

It was such a beautiful home. It was large enough for our group. We didn’t feel piled in together. The breakfast provided to cook had something for everyone. And the animals were incredible! Who knew I’d be spending time with peacocks in that part of the work!

Thanks for having us! We loved this family friendly house with all the little extra touches..’

We loved our stay! Great locations, heaps of space and lots of communal areas. Two nights wasn’t enough to enjoy every part of the accomodation let alone the town. The kids LOVED feeding the Alpacas, we had plenty of firewood (sadly it wasn’t cold enough to justify a long fire), the breakfast provided was fabulous and plentiful, the walk around the property was marked and a great way to work up an appetite. Plus it’s on the same road as most of the wineries and only 6 minutes into town. Kids loved the games room, the toys, books and games in the house and the DVD player is a novelty for little kids. They even provided marshmallow cooking skewers..We will be coming back!

Charming, inviting and super comfy country retreat. With a warm jacket windswept is a sure winner!

Real sense of warmth, generosity and hospitality from the hosts and the space and the thoughtful inclusions. Gorgeous private country setting. Tame farm animals to greet, feed and pose. Iconic granite boulders to conquer. How’s the serenity! None of the local attractions are too far but Windswept had particularly great proximity to Ballandean’s top attractions- Twisted Gum (for impressive wine tasting with passionate and down to earth sustainability champion, winemaker and all round lovely human, Michelle) & Balancing Heart (for fabulous, picturesque sunset landscape, fire pits, wine tasting, live music and pizzas)

A little slice of heaven

An absolute gem. A wonderful welcoming house that has everyrhing you need for a wonderful stay. The host were lovely and helpful and the little touches, like the bacon, eggs, sausages and a well stacked pantry certainly was the icing on the cake. Loved being able to feed the peacocks, Alpacas and Goats and stroll through the property. I guarantee anyone would love a stay here

Relaxing place for a large family

Loved the small touches, such as breakfast supplies. Being able to go for a bushwalk on the property was a bonus, as was interacting with the farm animals.

Great getaway with friends!

Easy to find and close to everything. Paul was very accommodating when we asked for an early check. The fireplace was stacked and ready to light. The breakfast provided was generously supplied with eggs, bacon, muffins, tomatoes and pancakes and snacks. Lots of room so a great place to stay with a group of friends.

Enjoyed a peaceful country retreat. We will be back.

We booked so we could attend Apple and Grape festival events in Stanthorpe but it is such a lovely spot you need not leave. The creek, the animals and the serenity are just awesome. The breakfast items supplied are so generous. It was such a lovely country stay. I highly recommend 😊

Wonderful country retreat - generous hosts - highly recommended.

The breakfast food was abundantly generous - more than enough for both mornings. Lovely surrounds and plenty of room to move and relax and enjoy.
