The most beautiful farm stay
This property is perfect for a family country weekend, week etc. it is a perfect distance from Brisbane it only took 45 mins from Ashgrove the house has plenty of space lots to do in the area we loved it. 4 adults and 4 kids fitted in perfectly. Kids lived the fire pit outside and I lived the 4 claw bath. Thankyou

We loved the peace and quiet as we were attending a funeral down there and the solitude helped.
Beautiful, secluded and quiet, exactly what we wanted.

Great, quiet space.
It's far enough out of the way yet close enough for quick access to town, thoroughly enjoyable.

Lovely stay in the perfect secluded location
The whole group thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Wanora. The property is well looked after and has the most amazing views. We loved walking down to the river and the dogs had the time of their lives! Do make sure your dogs are well protected for ticks and you check them as ours had the most effective protection and one still managed to get a brown tick on him (we removed it quickly and he was fine) We will definitely be making another trip to Wanora in the future!

Perfect!
We loved staying at Wanora on the weekend - we didn't want to go home. The photos don't do the property justice. It was perfect.
