The property is unique and located in an excellent spot. It has a wonderful feel. I was able to take my dog inside and he was welcome. It's a classic place that is memorable to stay, and the check-in was easy, and there were little things like some milk and teas etc to make settling in easy

About the host

Hosted by Karen

Host profile image
We migrated north in 2021 from the Sunshine Coast thinking we were moving to a small country town. We soon discovered Childers is a town full of fun genuine caring people that all look out for each other and love to have a good time. We thoroughly enjoy offering accomodation for travellers and their pets that is comfortable, clean and well appointed.

Why they chose this property

We chose Childers as our new home simply because we fell in love with the historical town and the Queenslander we bought
that was built in 1912! The stone cottage next door was an added bonus that we embraced and decided to offer as short stay accomodation. We have spent 2 years cleaning and tidying the properties whilst renovating our Queenslander.

What makes this property unique

The stone cottage is open plan with a mezzanine (dorm) level for extra guests. Fabulous undercover area runs around 3 sides of the building and a fully fenced garden area for pets to enjoy.
