The Neighborhood:
Situated in the heart of the Granite Belt Wine Region, Ballandean is a much sought after destination, surrounded by wineries on Eukey road, we are easily accessible to the region’s award winning boutique wineries, craft breweries and stand out restaurants. The Granite Belt has all the right ingredients for food and wine indulgence in front of roaring open fires. Girraween means “place of flowers” and the best time to visit, is just in spring, when the flora is at its most prolific. In summer, you can expect temperatures to be 10 degrees, on average cooler than Brisbane. Welcome to our backyard, where the only thing you need to do is slow down, breathe deep and experience the essence of country life.
