About this property
Thirlestane Farm Cottage & Barn luxury accommodation with stunning views
Thirlestane Farm Cottage & Barn-Cooroy
A quintessential farm workers cottage and barn renovated to an exceptionally high standard with a modern barn extension, for use as a holiday home set in 24 acres of peaceful rolling hills, close to the township of Cooroy & only 20 mins from the stunning beaches of Noosa Shire.
Sleeping up to 8 guests it is ideal for families or close friends to escape to the country and just relax & enjoy both the serenity of the farm but also enjoy the many activities that the Noosa Hinterland offers.
As a family we enjoy the beach during the summer and sitting around a fire in winter so 4 years ago we went searching for a property that we could all spend time together.
We found a little tired cottage sitting in 24 acres of an old dairy farm, high on a hill that offered the most spectacular views and was only 20 mins to the beach.
We bought it that day and have spent those last 4 years renovating the home and building a modern barn to an extremely high standard, each completed self contained with two bedrooms, with quality fixtures and fittings, built fire pits, an outdoor cinema, become proud owners of Highland cows, ducks, chickens, bees and planted orchards but we have been very careful not to lose the authentic feel of a working country home that we found so appealing the first time we set eyes on the property.
We plan to continue to improve Thirlestane in the coming years with the addition of a pool and further eco-cottages set around the farm, but for the time being we're just delighted to have found this wee jewel in the middle of the most beautiful countryside.

About the host
Hosted by Tee Tait
Originally from Scotland we have owned and run award winning Guest Houses but following our move to Australia in 2004 we chose to enjoy the hospitality of others for a change!
However, last year we took the plunge and bought our own holiday home in beautiful Noosa Shire and we now wish to share it with people who like us, enjoy the serenity and beauty of the country but wish to visit the nearby beaches spending time with their close family and friends.
We purchased this cottage in 2017
Why they chose this property
As a family we enjoy the beach during the summer and sitting around a fire in winter so last year we went searching for a property that we could all spend time together.
We found this little tired cottage sitting in 24 acres, high on a hill that offered the most spectacular views and was only 20 mins to the beach.
We bought it that day and have spent the last 12 months renovating the home and adding a modern barn to a high standard, with quality fixture and fittings, built a fire pit but have been careful not to lose the authentic workers feel of the home that we found so appealing the first time we set eyes on the property.
We plan to continue to improve Thirlestane in the coming years with the addition of a pool and further eco-cottages set around the farm, but for the time being we're just delighted to have found this wee jewel in the middle of the most beautiful countryside.
What makes this property unique
What makes this cottage unique The setting of Thirlestane allows you to be ideally located to the main roads and attractions of the Sunshine Coast with only 7 mins to the centre of town and 20 mins to Noosa, however the real appeal is being able to sit at a fire pit and watch the most amazing Milky Way that appears directly over head ever evening and to watch the most amazing sunrises over Mount Cooroy every morning.
Our Cottage and Barn has been genuinely renovated to suit our family needs and desire and therefore no money has been spared in ensuring the comfort and quality of our holiday home.
With 24 Acres to wander around, a dam to fish in, and no-one close by to disturb your retreat, feed our friendly highland cows, Hamish & Maisie or collect your own eggs from the ducks and chickens, Thirlestane truly is the most magical place to unwind and enjoy the company of your friends and family
