About this property

'The Old Schoolhouse'. A Heritage Experience...

Renovated historic Queensland C1898 Schoolhouse, open plan eclectic interior with its soaring windows and timber ceilings, the perfect enjoyable stay in a park like setting. Situated in the rolling hills of beautiful Greens Creek, it is just a few kilometres east of Gympie just off Tin Can Bay Road. The gateway road to Rainbow Beach and Fraser Island.

You can sit on the two wide schoolhouse timber verandas with a beverage as you choose and overlook the scenery and our wonderful birdlife.

The huge open spaced interior of the historic schoolhouse is decorated in an eclectic mix style. Framed by huge schoolhouse windows each end of the open space. Eclectic interior style for discerning guests overlayed by a beautiful Blackbutt polished timber floor.

Like a step back in time - yet modern facilities
The location was lovely, set in a rural area but less than 10 minutes to Gympie. Was well equipped for cooking, included 2 fridges. Property had large verandahs on the north and southern sides. Beds were separated by a partition, so limited privacy when sleeping. Our host was friendly and helpful. If you like the idea of a stay in a dwelling of more than a century in age, this is for you.

Perfect Gympie weekend location
The old school house was the perfect spot for a weekend away. It has a very quirky old school charm and the fire was a perfect addition for the cooler weather. The house had everything you'd need and Colin was such a fantastic host. We really appreciated his warm hospitality! Local maps and things to do were a great help and Colin took the time to really make sure we knew the ins and outs of the house.
