Lovely stay

We had a great stay at Russell’s house. Beautiful home, great facilities, good quiet location, not far from town and wineries. The kids loved the animals. Comfy bed, the fluffiest of fluffy towels. Highly recommend. Thanks for having us

A nice relaxing stay!

This property gave the experience that we wanted which was to get out of the city for a week and relax. The inside is nicely decorated which gives a nice new feel. You are provided with Kitchen, Laundry and Bathroom products for you to use whilst you are there. My daughter loved feeding the chickens everyday, seeing the Geese and kangaroos on dusk. This property is smack bang in the middle of Stanthorpe and Girraween. We enjoyed its location. Wineries are close by. Russell communicates really well if you need anything during your stay and we loved our interactions with the owners.

A country break

This is a beautiful property. It is in a remote area, on a dirt road. Very peaceful. The house had everything we needed, including fresh eggs from the resident chickens.

Peace and tranquility.

Perfect place for serenity and a taste of country living. Very well maintained and tasteful accommodation with a gated enclosed deck for dogs to admire the animals - geese and chooks as well as visiting roos. Close to several excellent wineries as well as Giraween National Park. The host was welcoming and left supplies as well as inviting us to use the eggs the chooks had laid. Refreshing to have noticed that explain about the septic system and its use and none of the long list of don’ts that now seem to populate properties. We felt genuinely welcome and would love to return. The perfect weather and beautiful sunsets were a bonus. Thank you Russell. Hawys, Liz and Paul (humans) and Albert and Macca (the dogs)

Peace & quiet

The house was very comfortable & clean. It was a very peaceful area. We loved the slow combustion fire, as we had one before and miss it terribly. Our 2 dogs enjoyed strolling around the garden with the geese 🙂 We drove into Stanthorpe, which is close by. Enjoyed a long walk through lovely parklands & went to some lovely shops. Unfortunately we had rain for a couple of days, but we were able to relax & enjoy a peaceful holiday. The host was very friendly and accommodating. We had an issue with the barbecue & he arrived within 20 minutes to fix the problem. We would definitely recommend Granite Belt Majestic Retreat.

We stayed at this house for 5 nights over Christmas and would have stayed for longer if we could have. The house is in a peaceful, beautiful setting on a property shared by a couple of good-natured geese and some chickens, and having fresh eggs was a bonus. The large kitchen is well equipped and enabled us to cook a 3 course Christmas dinner for the family, which we enjoyed on the wrap-around verandah. Russell and Elisabeth are considerate hosts and they have put thought into this property to ensure it is homely. Stanthorpe is an easy 12 minute drive away and so it was no trouble grabbing provisions when needed.

5 Star Peace and Quiet

The property is tucked away in Fletcher and is so calm and peaceful. The house is clean and neat, with everything needed for a comfortable stay. We loved that you can tech-detox if required but there is wifi access if needed. Our favourite memory is sitting outside on the deck watching the sunset while sipping delicious regional wine and enjoying our dog's joy at watching the geese, chickens and wallabies from her perch. We highly recommend staying at Granite Belt Majestic Retreat.

About the host

Hosted by Russell

HI we are Russell, Elisabeth and David (our boy). I'm originally from Scotland, Elisabeth is from Bavaria (German) and David was born a Queenslander!! Elisabeth and I moved to Australia 30 years ago!! We both work in Health Care, Elisabeth is a RN and I'm a Social Worker in the Mental Health field supporting young people and children. We are welcoming and friendly, and looking forward to you having the best time in our amazing majestic retreat.

Why they chose this property

The climate is just perfect with cool evenings in summer and warm days. The country side is truly majestic with national parks, walks, amazing food and wine and a really friendly community. If you want a warm winters night in the firelight, this is the perfect location to sit back, watch the Milky Way and get lulled by the flickering wood-burning fireplace. Restaurants, pubs and coffee shops are within 5 mins (Ballandean) and 12 mins (Stanthorpe)

What makes this property unique

We are just far enough away: 5 mins (Ballandean) and 12 mins (Stanthorpe), to have peace, quiet, privacy but a quick drive to the heart of everything the Granite Belt has to offer. It is so beautiful to just sit on the full wrap around veranda, and look down the valley at the garden, or across to see the nature that surrounds the property.
