About this property

Cranley Garden Retreat with Fireplace & Pool

The Cranley! Separate air-conditioned dwelling with private courtyard and veranda overlooking a family pool. Rural views and garden areas to enjoy. Goats, ducks, and chickens add to the country experience. Polished floors and high ceilings with lots of natural light make this a quiet place to stay. Minutes to 'O'Donnell' Bakehouse and Wilsonton Shops & Hotel. Approx 8 kilometres to Toowoomba City (15 mins) to Grand Central in Margaret St.

The property is situated on almost 2 acres. It has 1 acre of gardens and lawn at the front that guests can access. We have two miniature goats, a few chickens, some ducks at times, a dog -Lily, and a Guinea pig that gives some extra interest to the property. The gardens are being developed and are enthusiastically enjoyed by visitors. It is a peaceful country setting with several different areas around the property where you can stop and relax.

We have a vegetable patch that guests are welcome to harvest and enjoy the produce while they are here. Please help yourself.

Our host was very welcoming, she even left TimTams in the fridge for us. The cottage is very comfortable, clean and airy with loads of natural light. I appreciated that there were a lot of little extras to make our stay comfortable, such as extra towels for the pool and a well-stocked pantry. We will be staying again, Thank you

About the host

Hosted by Heather Hall

Host profile image
We have lived in Toowoomba for 14years, purchasing this property almost 10years ago. We have thoroughly enjoyed renovating, restoring, and creating gardens and spaces here. We hope you enjoy the property as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

This property is ideal having both acreage and being so close to Toowoomba. It really gives us the best of both worlds. The ease of being close to the hub of Toowoomba and yet feeling like we are away from the hubbub.!! It is a private and secure place. As most say after visiting - restful, comfortable, peaceful, feels like home.

What makes this property unique

Large gardens, animals to enjoy, Unique architecture and light filled cottage. We often have guests want to draw up the plan or take photos of the cottage to keep for reference.
