Had an awesome stay! What a gorgeous scenic and quiet location. Plenty of room in the lovely historic home. Private creek to swim in and cool down with kayaks provided. Debra our host was so thoughtful, responsive and accomodating. Highly recommended.
Really nice property, loved hanging out on the creek and the facilities down there, enjoyed seeing the cows and the privacy of the house. I know it's not advertised as having aircon but i aways just assume places in Queensland would have it so i did struggle with how hot it got.
We had a lovely girls weekend away, the house was even bigger than we imagined, beautiful to be in the country side for the weekend, will definately be back. A truely delightful place to visit. Debra the host was lovely to deal with in the booking and checking in process.

This property is truly beautiful!! Every single room has been thoughtfully restored - such a beautiful house & surroundings!
Peaceful stunning property. Went away for a 60 th girls weekend. Place was spectacular. Gorgeous rooms with different themes throughout. Perfect for a group. Creek was beautiful and kayaks for use. Definitely recommend a stay here.
We had a wonderful family getaway in Canungra at the Homestead. Plenty of room for our family in beautiful surroundings. Comfy beds and plenty of heating. We had so much fun at the creek gazebo as well. Perfect!
The location was secluded and peaceful but close enough to Canungra for supplies. Walks along creek exceptional.
Plenty of wildlife and it was great our dog could enjoy it all with us.
The hosts Deb and Rick were very welcoming The house was beyond our expectations and more. We have made beautiful memories here that will last a life time.
It was a great place for a large family to catch up. The wonderful running creek was so relaxing. Plenty of room for everyone. What we liked the most was the peace and tranquillity. The owner was very helpful and obliging.
Beautiful property that had plenty of room for our extended family. The creek is so much fun and you have it all to yourself - it's also far enough away from the house that you don't have to worry as much about your small kids wandering down there by themselves. Heaps of cooking options with a large fridge / freezer and coffee machine as well. We are already keen to come back!

Amazing
Thanks guys for a great getaway! Our 4 generations of family loved our stay! The decor was lovely, the position to Cunungra Valley Vineyard venue was perfect, everything we needed and more for a relaxed gathering for a family wedding close by. We appreciated you checking in on us to top us firewood etc.
We are a family, we swam in the creek, played games, cooked, canoed , walked, relaxed on the beautiful outdoor verandahs and took in the serene views. Watched the cattle, saw a rabbit, a few kangaroes. Debra & Rick the hosts were lovely. So we as a family just loved it.
We had a wonderful holiday with our little family. My boys 3 and 5 + our 13 yr old Labrador enjoyed the surrounds. Our dog swam in the creek, while the boys enjoyed kayaking with us.
Deb and her husband are wonderful hosts and were always happy to help out with any questions/concerns.
Thanks

The house and surrounding property is very well suited to a group of 8-10 stay. The owner was lovely, welcoming on arrival and had taken every effort to make our stay comfortable pleasant and enjoyable. Whilst the kitchen is well equipped some crockery, cooking pots and utensils could benefit from an upgrading (only two sections of a 4 slice toaster worked).
To conclude I will comment we enjoyed our time very much at the house and would recommend as a very pleasant country getaway.

Beautiful, peaceful property.
We spent 3 days at Sarabah celebrating our daughters birthday. Loved the wide open spaces. There were plenty of space to find your own quite spot. Our two year old grandson loved it 'catch me if you can". His favourite phrase. Loved the old house and the furnishings. The kitchen was a dream. It's obvious that it's a work in progress. A stain on the dinning room carpet that I'm sure will be fixed. Family enjoyed the stay so much that they have already booked another break. Deb was very accommodating and a pleasure to deal with.
Fantastic for group of friends or family get together
This property is all we, a group of 4 ladies on a girls' weekend, could have hoped for. We each had our own bedroom and the living areas were large and plenty. Lots of spots to choose from to catch or escape the sun, window seats, large indoor couches, 2 outdoor lounges, etc. We used the firepit( wood supplied) and spent a lovely evening under the full moon. Large spacious kitchen, 2 lovely bathrooms to share. The property is peaceful and spectacular, the only sounds are birds and cows. The photos are true to the real-life. For a getaway for friends or a family escape it is perfect, with spare beds in most rooms, it could sleep 10-12 (we counted but I've forgotten the exact amount!) Communication with Debbie was excellent, even though we didn't get to meet as she was unwell, so we met Rick who showed us through the house. They have a house at the top of the hill so are there if needed, but otherwise they leave you to it. We were all blown away by the house and property and it exceeded our expectations. I recommend doing a shop for all that you need before you go as there isn't a supermarket particularly close by. Canungra is a lovely little town about 15 minutes drive away and we went to Cafe Metz both days for lunch/brunch- also highly recommended. For a peaceful, quiet getaway from everything- this is the spot and if the price is split between friends/family, we all felt it was excellent value. Highly and heartily recommended.
If you are looking to disconnect and experience a relaxing weekend in glorious surroundings - this is the place! Debra was the most incredible host (what a woman!). The house is so beautiful and the grounds were absolutely gorgeous...cups of tea watching the sun rise, listening to the bubbling stream, reading a book on the huge verandah couches hearing the wildlife or by the fire - and the cutest, friendliest cows. What Debra has created is a dream home in the country. Highly recommend for anyone looking to recharge or entertain!
