A stunning location... so quiet and relaxing. The only sound we heard were the birds, and the occasional sheep. I'm an early riser and had my morning coffee on the verandah and each day I watched a little fox wander past the lake... he sure had the bunnies scurrying! The villa was very well equipped with a coffee machine, cooking facilities, a combustion wood fire (and plenty of wood with stocks replenished daily), a lovely ensuite, and a very comfy firm king bed with crisp clean linens. Lovely local produce supplied in the breakfast hamper and local bath products in the ensuite (Washpool). Hosts Chris & Lynne were exceptional... nothing was too much trouble. We'll definitely be back :)

Not really anything

We had a wonderful stay at Granite Gardens Cottages and Lake Retreat. We stayed in the Lake Retreat and it was absolutely beautiful—cosy, peaceful and very comfortable. The cottage had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway, including a fireplace, a well-appointed kitchen, and generous breakfast provisions. The owners were incredibly welcoming and made us feel right at home. Their local knowledge and personalised recommendations for things to do and places to eat in Stanthorpe were spot on—we appreciated them all and they really enhanced our trip. Just 10 minutes from town, the retreat feels like its own private haven of tranquillity. We loved every minute and would happily return.

Location was a little out of town which was lovely and quiet. We were able to have our dogs with us which we really enjoyed. Our cottage was beautiful, cozy, well-appointed and very clean and the garden setting was so peaceful. Breakfast was provided for us to prepare with bacon, fresh eggs, tomato, yoghurt, fruit, fruit juice, fresh bread, milk, jam, marmalade, vegemite, tea, coffee and there were nibbles as well - cheese, crackers, pringles. All cooking utensils, pots, pans, toaster, kettle, barbeque etc are provided. Wood had been chopped and stacked for us to use in the fireplace. Attention to detail was excellent.

Nothing

The location was beautiful - very peaceful and picturesque. The lakeside studio was large and accommodating, and very comfortable. The lake and surrounding gardens were lovely to look out on at all times of day. The kitchen was very well-equipped in the main, the fridge being well-stocked with bacon, eggs, tomato, yoghurt, fruit, cheeses, rocky road, butter, milk etc. Also provided was locally-produced apple juice, bread, muesli, water crackers, crisps and lovely jams. Very generous and varying. Chris, the host, was very welcoming, friendly, helpful and most personable.

Very little was not to like besides a toilet seat that was ill-fitting and hotplates which were in an awkward position for a short person to use. A little extra cutlery and dinner-ware would have made things a little easier at times.

Everything ! The absolute care and the attention to detail exceeded expectations. From the moment you walk into the room with the oil diffuser on, to checking out the little treats they have left you in the fridge. The owners took so much pride and care in their work to ensure you have the most enjoyable stay. I was also in a bit of trouble with my car which they kindly offered me a lift from town and also stayed in contact to make sure I was safe. Beautiful, kind people who go above and beyond. I was left without a car but was able to enjoy the beauty of the property and watch the wildlife go by.

That I couldn't stay longer.

My partner and I had the pleasure of spending three delightful nights at Granite Belt Cottages, and from the moment we arrived on the property, we were blown away by its stunning beauty. Chris, who checked us in, was not only delightful but incredibly helpful, offering a wealth of suggestions from their carefully curated book of things to do to his own personal recommendations. The spa cottages were absolutely spectacular, offering a true home away from home experience. Every detail was adorned in charming cottage core chic, showcasing impeccable quality throughout. The breakfast hamper provided was not only charming but also delicious. I cannot sing the praises of this place enough—I am already eagerly anticipating our next stay!

Beautiful grounds and beautifully presented little cottages in picturesque surroundings. Our cottage had a fireplace and reserve cycle air conditioning which was necessary as it was cold. Firewood was easily accessible. Breakfast hamper was great as well and kitchen was well stocked and practical. Cottage was very comfortable for long stays. Our hosts were very welcoming and friendly.

No laundry so had to do laundry in town

I highly recommend Granite Gardens Cottages and Lake Resort. My husband and I wanted a short getaway combined with some sightseeing and relaxtion. This property gave us that. With only 3 cottages on 35 acres, situated 5kms past Stanthorpe we felt relaxed as soon as we checked in. The gardens are lovely and the property is the perfect location for visiting the wineries and surrounding areas. You would need a car to get there. The cottage was well appointed with a spa bath and a fully stocked fridge with local produce for breakfast. Chris and Lyn thought of everything and were wonderful hosts. we will definitely be back.

Chris and Lynne are wonderful hosts and made us feel very welcome. The breakfast hamper is very generous, and the cheese board, rocky road and other little extras were very much appreciated. Loved sitting by the fire and taking in the wonderful view. We enjoy coming to this special place and look forward to our next visit.

The only negative was that I was hoping for snow, but we still had a lovely time.

Communication with the owners was immediate. Granite Cottage Accommodation is a little out of town aiding to the the discrete, serene and relaxing ambiance. Woken gently by an assortment of beautiful birds, and relaxing on the porch in the night with an abundance of stars all around. Extremely comfortable bed and pillows, great water pressure in the shower and a generous spa with bath bombs, fluffy towels and robes. The owners have put love and dedication to Granite Cottages and added the thoughtful use of local produce and products including home made treats, a cheese platter, and fresh produce for breakfasts. Thank you, we would love to return in the winter to enjoy the in cottage fire place.

The property exceeded our expectations.
