About this property

Cranley Garden Retreat with Fireplace & Pool

The Cranley! Separate air-conditioned dwelling with private courtyard and veranda overlooking a family pool. Rural views and garden areas to enjoy. Goats, ducks, and chickens add to the country experience. Polished floors and high ceilings with lots of natural light make this a quiet place to stay. Minutes to 'O'Donnell' Bakehouse and Wilsonton Shops & Hotel. Approx 8 kilometres to Toowoomba City (15 mins) to Grand Central in Margaret St.

The property is situated on almost 2 acres. It has 1 acre of gardens and lawn at the front that guests can access. We have two miniature goats, a few chickens, some ducks at times, a dog -Lily, and a Guinea pig that gives some extra interest to the property. The gardens are being developed and are enthusiastically enjoyed by visitors. It is a peaceful country setting with several different areas around the property where you can stop and relax.

We have a vegetable patch that guests are welcome to harvest and enjoy the produce while they are here. Please help yourself.

A tranquil retreat!
I booked the Cranley as a retreat space for my study (I’m writing up my PhD!) and it was the perfect spot! I really enjoyed the peace and quiet, the wonderful bird life and being able to use the pool - it was like my own little resort!

Perfect location and property
We absolutely loved our time at Cranley. The animals were a special part of the trip for us, as we all love animals. Our daughter spent so much time with the goats and chickens, and in the pool, too. We had many friendly visits from Lily the dog. The owners were lovely and friendly, and made the trip extra relaxing for us. Definitely made the right decision, and will be staying there again next time we head down that way. No complaints at all, exceeded our expectations in every way.

We came from our West and our son and two grandkids came up from Brisbane. Lovely stay and the kids loved the goats & horses out back. Unfortunately, a bit cool to use the pool, everything you need is in this lovely little cottage. Thank you.

About the host

Hosted by Heather Hall

Host profile image
We have lived in Toowoomba for 13 years, purchasing this property almost 10 years ago. We have thoroughly enjoyed renovating, restoring, and creating gardens and spaces here. We hope you enjoy the property as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

This property is ideal having both acreage and being so close to Toowoomba. It really gives us the best of both worlds. The ease of being close to the hub of Toowoomba and yet feeling like we are away from the hubbub.!! It is a private and secure place. As most say after visiting - restful, comfortable, peaceful, feels like home.

What makes this property unique

Large gardens, animals to enjoy, Unique architecture and light filled cottage. We often have guests want to draw up the plan or take photos of the cottage to keep for reference.
