Summa was a pleasure to host at Wallawa on Hilltop. They were respectful of the house rules, kept the cottage clean and tidy, and left everything in great condition. Communication was seamless, and they were a joy to have around. We would gladly welcome them back anytime and highly recommend them to other hosts

This was a wonderful stay for our family. The house was beautiful and immaculately clean, with a great view. We loved the well-maintained walking track around the property as well as the supply of games (especially the bocce), which our kids really enjoyed. The hosts thought of everything one needs for a comfortable and relaxing holiday. It was perfectly positioned 20-30 minutes from the Bunya Mountains, Kingaroy, and Nanango. Definitely visit the Kingaroy Observatory on a clear night. We would definitely stay again!

Perfect stay to explore Bunya mountains

Cottage is both very well equipped and homely. We would happily recommend a stay. Coomba Falls a must see.

Alison and her partner were great guests at Wallawa. Unfortunately I accidentally gave them 4 out of 5 stars for following the house rules where I should have given them 5 out of 5. They followed the house rules perfectly. We would highly recommend them to other hosts.

Wonderful space to escape and unwind, the views are magnificent, no other houses to be seen from the deck, just kangaroos and trees and lots of birds and the occasional goat. The cottage has every amenity you need all provided with attention to detail and lots of love and care. Extremely clean and well looked after. Great communication with host as well - super responsive. Easy 25 min drive to Bunya mountain NP for hiking.

Country escape

The property was clean, well catered for and beautifully furnished. It had everything we needed and felt like home. The lication is stunning and peaceful. We loved just hanging out on the deck watching the sunset and sitting by the fire. A very relaxing break was just what we all needed, the dogs enjoyed their time too!

So relaxing

We wanted to explore Bunya National Park, but also have to travel with our dogs. Found this place on Stayz and it exceeded expectations. Nice and clean, everything we needed for cooking etc, and a great location looking out on a very peaceful landscape. Within easy driving distance from Bunya National Park for hiking, and Kingaroy to visit town for groceries etc. The deck is where we spent most of our time, just taking in the scenery and serenity while the kids lit the fire and played around. Dogs loved it too.
