Clandulla Cottages & Farmstay

Great stay with a huge but Pros - 1) Our apartment had a rustic charm to it, was cozy, clean and well maintained. Kids cutlery was provided and so was triple filtered water (to prevent tummy upset in younger kids). There was also a communal deck with a BBQ pit, foosball table and an assortment of sports equipment for you to utilise on the mini grass tennis lawn, basketball hoop and soccer goal post. 2) Animal feeding (once in the morning and once in the late afternoon) was nice and interactive and we got to meet/feed the animals as well as collect eggs from the chicken coop (only in the morning). Farmer Matt was very friendly and knowledgeable as well, which added to the positive experience. 3) Place was a quiet respite from the hustle and bustle of city life yet close enough to amenities/eateries in Canungra and Beaudesert (both ~15mins drive away) . Cons - 1) The walls were thin. We were rudely awakened close to 11pm and again at 6am the next morning from the din of the neighbouring apartment. Loud conversations, the TV, mobile phone ringing, the radio. Personally this is a big downside, especially if you have young kids. But to be fair, it's definitely not Clandulla Cottage's fault and entirely luck of the draw. Overall we had a largely positive experience and will look to return in future. Fingers crossed for considerate neighbours!

Matt was super friendly and accommodating. It is was so much fun feeding all the animals. 10/10 experience, I will definitely be coming back in the future.

We stayed for 2 nights and were warmly welcomed by the new owners, Matt and Nambok Howard. The cottage was simple but well kept and had all the necessary amenities. The kids got to do two animal feedings a day and they loved it! Even though they were initially a bit scared, Matt was very patient explaining everything to them and introducing the animals individually. They also got to collect eggs and have them for breakfast. He was most helpful in all our requests and made us feel right at home. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a fun and educational farm stay with kids!

The service was first class. Matt was super friendly and very accommodating. It's a fabulous place for children to stay.

We were priviliged to stay in the newly furbished Bottlebrush Cottage. Matt and the lovely farm animals warm hospitality made our stay such a pleasure. The farmstay is conveniently located nearby attractions and supermarket. We loved the serenity and beauty of the farm stay and its surroundings.

Nice quaint location with very accommodating host. Kids thoroughly loved the farm feeding at 8 am and 5 pm every day. Plenty of games and space for the kids to run around the farm Mt Tamborine is a 25 mins drive away with lots of other attractions

After an hour drive from Brisbane we arrived at the property to be greeted by Matt. He took us to our room and explained the property to us. Once we settled in, we proceeded to feed the animals with Matt’s guidance. He was very informative and attentive. He was also very patient with my son who was very excited about his farm stay and asked loads of questions about the animals. It was a real treat to feed the animals twice a day. What was most impressive was that Matt would prepare for the feeding prior by cleaning up any animals pool and sectioning animals off so the feeding was as safe as possible. The room was so lovely too and had all the facilities you needed. We also enjoyed a fire every night which was beautiful on a winter night. We will be back. We really enjoyed it and it captured everything we hoped for our farm stay.

Booking indicated with breakfast but nothing was provided. Not sure if it was *******'s fault or the accommodation?

Our two young children, 4yrs and almost 2yrs, really enjoyed their time. Matt was very patient and inclusive during our stay and especially feeding times, which was a real highlight and kept the kids busy morning and afternoon. They also enjoyed the sandpit/swing area and we appreciated having the shared deck which had a gate. This allowed our little ones to play with the other 2 families on the deck where we could see them while we cooked dinner. We appreciated the recent renovations also! While staying, we also visited a small section of cedar creek, visited Mt Tambourine township where we found a lovely nature playground and also really enjoyed Canungra which also has a modern playground and Mum & Dad could enjoy a coffee close by. Oh and the glow worm caves!
