A tranquil retreat!

I booked the Cranley as a retreat space for my study (I’m writing up my PhD!) and it was the perfect spot! I really enjoyed the peace and quiet, the wonderful bird life and being able to use the pool - it was like my own little resort!

The place was perfect for what we needed. We had a 12 year old with us so all the animals were a major draw card. the owner also provides lots of staples from use in the kitchen and allows you to gather eggs from the chickens and vegies from their vegie garden. The fire place was also a big drawcard. The pool was very inviting as well but the weather is just a bit too cold in July to warrant a dip. I would definitely stay here again. Things to be aware of - there is not a proper oven so don't plan on cooking any big roasts or anything like that. They do have a plug in glass cooker that acts like an oven though. The water pressure in the shower is a little light on.

Perfect location and property

We absolutely loved our time at Cranley. The animals were a special part of the trip for us, as we all love animals. Our daughter spent so much time with the goats and chickens, and in the pool, too. We had many friendly visits from Lily the dog. The owners were lovely and friendly, and made the trip extra relaxing for us. Definitely made the right decision, and will be staying there again next time we head down that way. No complaints at all, exceeded our expectations in every way.

About the host

Hosted by Heather Hall

We have lived in Toowoomba for 13 years, purchasing this property almost 10 years 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.
