Great cosy cottage. Lots of personal touches, like staying with family.
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

A unique Cottage .. Hosts very friendly and made us so welcome..
Would definitely recommend.. short walk into the quaint town of Childers
Thank you so much for having us at your lovely Little Fig Tree Cottage. It was warm, cozy, and incredibly welcoming — the perfect home away from home. The location was ideal, close to everything we needed. We had such a wonderful experience and will definitely be back for another visit!
What a lovely little cottage. All the well thought out extras such as dog and people treats and fresh coffee were a hit. We would definitely stay again.
Great surprise within the little/big cottage, reminded us of our younger years in the 70's. Karen and Trevor great hosts, will recommend to our friends.
This truly was an idyllic cottage. The hosts had thought about so many details that made the cottage comfortable and feel like a home away from home.
This stay was completely pet friendly. Genuine fully fenced and secure. Our senior dog loved the fireplace!
We enjoyed our stay here. The cottage was comfortable and contained everything (& more) that we needed for our time there. It's location allows for an easy walk to town. The cottage is extremely clean and has lots of lovely little extras to discover.
Easy walk into town and perfect if travelling with a dog. Great communication with host. Would stay again

Fantastic hosts, really helpful, went out of their way to make sure we had a great stay. Beautiful little cottage in the heart of Childers, would definitely recommend and would love to stay there again.
The cottage was surprisingly spacious and private. The host considers the needs of guests, with lots of little luxury touches. Well equipped with everything you need.
Thank you for such a beautiful stay. Wonderfully friendly and helpful hosts, and lots of lovely little touches within the cottage to help us feel at home. Also a nice little seperated yard for my dogs to be play in a secure space. Would recommend and will stay again!
Karen was very helpful when our plans were disrupted by Cyclone Alfred. We appreciated the attention to detail that made this 'home away from home' for us, such as herbal teabags and cereals. Very conveniently located, walking distance to shops.
Home away from home. We stayed with our two spoilt Pomeranians, who were welcomed.A wonderful time in beautiful Childers, the accommodation reflected a friendly heritage town perfectly. Wanted for nothing.
Our stay was lovely. Very different and historical place. The home was lovely super clean and everything you need is there. The owners Karen and Trevor just lovely. So convenient just on the main road. Lots of room.
The property was exceptionally clean with everything you could want.
Trevor is an excellent host who was very accommodating.
We would definitely stay again when next in the area.

About the host
Hosted by Karen
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.
