Fab stay @ Waverley Homestead, would highly recommend. We were lucky enough to have the entire place to ourselves, which made it very special - so quiet, and with stunning views over the paddocks, looking towards the distant mountains. Great for individual campers who like company, but would also be perfect for a small group of friends, as the campfire in the middle makes it great for socializing. Really enjoyed the company of Mikey - resident dog - who is such a sweetheart and hung with us until Gav came home to reclaim him. Gav is lovely - popped down to make sure we had all we needed, and we had a good chat, then he left us to enjoy the solitude. Awesome sunset, and although it was a super hot day, it gradually cooled down and we were able to have a wee campfire, which was magical. Stars were spectacular throughout the night and birdlife lovely to watch in the trees. Plenty of shade for us in our van and flat ground to park up on. Thanks for sharing your lovely land with us Gav & Andria, we'll be back. Melissa & Michael

It was a lovely area and campsite, very tranquil and great to recharge my batteries with my horse, Lucy.
Her accommodation was great and safe, a good size yard and was aloud to go out in a paddock during the day.
Melanie is very knowledgeable and generous with her time and we had a great trail rides. We will definitely return.

Absolutely stunning sunset views and nice and secluded. Took the advantage of the total fire ban and went to the bun pub for dinner. Awesome old pub with $25 steak night on Thursday nights. Very relaxing atmosphere with the sound of cows all around. Also a great show of stars at night.
Would be great for small groups 4-5 camps/ vans wanting to camp together with large communal fire out in the centre of the camp area. Look out for the resident magpie as he liked to swoop even sitting having your morning coffee. Friendly attentive host with delicious fresh eggs!

Peaceful rural setting, plenty of space, old but clean amenities. Pay entry to the village once, and were able to re-enter every day during our stay. Fantastic historic village - sooo much to see! MUST see is the transport museum, but everything very interesting. Would definitely come again. Probably not when as cold at night as last week!

Plenty to see around the area with the Bunya mountains up the road 20 minutes and the The Bun hotel five minutes away for a good feed and a cold beer with great service.

We had a great couple of nights, only 10 minutes to the heart of Toowoomba. There’s not many places you can stay that offer the piece and quiet, great views (sun rise and sun set) and still be so convenient. Joan and Geoff are very nice hosts. Definitely recommend a visit.
In my opinion it’s only one camp site unless you are with a small group.

Thanks Gav and Andria for welcoming us onto your property. We had an awesome 5 nights camping off-grid at ‘The Pines’. The fire pit was a huge hit! The sunsets were unreal and to top it off the clear starry nights were mindblowing 🤩
We visited the local pub, ‘The Bun’ for lunch and a cold beer. The locals were friendly and we met the owner; a hilarious Irishman with a magnificent red beard!
Cheers, we will be back 😊
