As written above, during the first night stay, my friend and I were given the most delicious spring rolls. Made our night! Great location for amazing value.

Felicity Australia

Fantastic spot. Fridge and pantry had lots of extras to make our stay very enjoyable with all of the little extras we usually have on hand at home.

Robyn Australia

comprehensively equipped country style get away from it all accommodation , yet well sited for an easy run into Toowoomba CBD.

Peter Australia

The view was amazing, quiet location out of town, very comfortable and generous allocation of food. Tony was a friendly, attentive host.

Glynis Australia

I had seen other reviews about the stocked fridge and pantry. Spot on! Very pleasant surprise to be treated to breakfast both days with what was supplied, oh, and a refreshing beverage or two as well - thank you! Pity we couldn't stay in and enjoy the place as we were in town for a child's sporting event. Loved coming home at night to a toasty dwelling.

Atkinson Australia

A wonderful stay in a very comfortable apartment with excellent breakfast provisions, a very friendly , helpful host and an amazing view . Tony had thought of everything to make guests welcome and we would love to stay again some day .

Hazel Australia

The atmosphere was soothing, views through the valley uplifting. More pantry items than ever encountered before. Hosts friendly but respectful.

Colleen Australia

Tony is a very friendly, welcoming and obliging host. We were provided with a well stocked pantry and fridge that had far more quantities and varieties of food and beverages than we would ever have needed. In addition, Tony thoughtfully bringing us some of his freshly baked and still warm homemade bread was a lovely surprise. The standard of our accommodation was superb. Everything was was clean, comfortable and warm. The views were spectacular, and the bushwalks walks were very much appreciated. Our dog was in doggy heaven. We are already planning for a longer stay next time.

Leigh Australia

Absolutely beautiful location, breathtaking views! I loved how quiet and secluded it is, so close to nature and only about 20 mins to town. The hosts were so helpful and polite, I felt really at home and safe, which is important for a woman travelling alone. Highly recommended!

Madelaine Australia

It was a beautiful location and a comfortable stay. There was plenty of stuff in the fridge even though only breakfast was offered :)

The property is secluded and only 15-20 minutes from the Toowoomba CBD. Guest have privacy and excellent views in a 2 year old dwelling with fully equipped kitchen. The host will provide basic foodstuffs such as milk, bread, eggs, cereals, coffee tea, condiments so guests can prepare breakfast each day, some beer and wine (only cask wine though) and some tinned and frozen food for emergencies or late arrivals. WiFi is reasonably fast and mobile reception is adequate. The property has 80 acres of escarpment land with some 4WD tracks and picnic spots. The country is not pristine rainforest but pleasant enough. Kangaroos and wallabies often feed near the house and walkers may see scrub turkeys, goannas, echidnas and the odd dingo. Koalas have visited the area but only rarely. The nearest neighbours (two houses) are over 70m away and hidden by trees. For 5-6 guest occupancy, the sleeping arrangement is a sofa bed, but there is also a 20' airconditioned caravan with queen bed, tv, shower available as an alternative. The caravan also has refrigerator and kitchen and can take the pressure off if guests feel like a bit more space. No wifi in the caravan though.
I am retired from the oil exploration industry, mostly working overseas and speak passable Spanish. I will generally be available to acquaint the guests with the area and otherwise leave them to themselves. My wife is still working as an accountant and speaks English and Vietnamese. She went to university in Moscow in the 1980's and still understands Russian but doesn't really speak it any more.
Preston is a rural-residential area south of Toowoomba. Most of the residents enjoy a rural lifestyle while commuting to Toowoomba for work. It's about 10 minutes to Kmart and 15-20 minutes to the CBD. In our immediate area there are only 10 other houses, and only 3 on our road. Most of our neighbours are business owners and professionals - there are 3 doctors within 3 kilometres! No trail bikes or noise. The nearest convenience store is a Spar in Hodgsonvale about 10 minutes away, and the nearest Toowoomba supermarkets are about 15 minutes away.
