amazing piece of land. beautiful views and a great vibe. really spacious place i was really suprised.

Fabulous location. Absolutely perfect for a country stay. Close enough to shops, restaurants and main roads yet tranquil. Everything was clean, of a high standard and all you need. Highly recommended

Great quiet rural location, very convenient for me visiting my sons at Enogerra Army base. Under 20km from city. Great cottage, great hosts, thanks Shea and Peter for making Bindi and I welcome to your rural paradise. Definitely on my return visit list!

We had a lovely stay in this nice, quiet retreat in the countryside. Our hosts were very welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed, and also gave us some great advice about things to do in the area and beyond. Highly recommended for a lovely rural break from the nearby city or beaches

Pete and Shea were very helpful hosts and their kids are adorable. The unit was a full private apartment and had everything we needed. We loved the little nearby town of Samford and it was a great bouncing off location for day trips to Brisbane, Gold Coast, and the Sunshine Coast.

A lovely warm welcome with Shea showing me around the accommodation. A lovely assortment of treats in the fridge... Fresh farm eggs and a bottle of wine! The personal little touches of sprigs of Rosemary were beautiful! A quiet restful location, close to the charming village of Samford. The perfect spot for a getaway!

Pete and Shea were very welcoming. The location is very peaceful and the studio was clean and comfortable.

Shea's place is immaculate and stylish,very comfortable and private!! She's is lovely and a great host!!!

A comfortable home to stay in Samford. Walking distance to all you need.

If you're after location and ease of access to town, and are not worried about modern comfort, this is your place.

The house is very well located next to Baden Powell Park where there ed s Cyclocross race on, and is easy waking distance to cafes, supermarket and the pub. The laundry facilities are a nice bonus, as was the ensuite in the master version. Thank you for your hospitality!

The cottage was everything that we expected and more. The setting is tranquil with beautiful views of the garden. The cottage was spotless and we really enjoyed the selection of classic albums. It's the perfect place to relax and feel completely comfortable. A very short drive in to Samford offered a few good cafe's and, for those wanting to see more of the surrounding countryside, I'd recommend a drive up Mt Glorious. All together, a peaceful country retreat.

The two of us had a wonderful month in Valerie and John's cottage. They were very gracious and welcoming. Their cottage was well appointed with all the essentials and more. It was incredibly peaceful and tranquil on their property; their view is hard to beat. It is about 5km from the closest shops, so having a car is essential. But we enjoyed the drive out, and Samford Valley is charming and has all the essential shops/cafes/gym etc. Valerie and John was very kind to allow us to take our precious cat Eddie, who also enjoyed his time in Samford. We highly recommend their cottage for a peaceful getaway.

Valerie and John's cottage is in a quiet, beautiful location and is very clean and comfortable. We were visiting with our adult children to attend a wedding in Samford Village which is only 7 minutes away. We appreciated the little extras that are supplied such as a nice selection of teas, milk and breakfast cereal. I would highly recommend Valerie and John's cottage to all travellers.

We were in Samford for a weekend yoga workshop. John and Val were very easy to correspond with. We weren't sure of numbers right up until we arrived but it was no problem for them. John and Valerie were such a lovely, welcoming couple. The Old Surgery Cottage is a beautifully appointed spotlessly clean unit. The lounge and bedrooms are very comfortable and really quite large. John and Val have thought of everything, there are games, books and a well stocked kitchen. A selection of teas, coffee and breakfast ingredients were all there. You can see John and Val take pride in their grounds and gardens and the view is spectacular. I just wish we had more time to explore. We'll definitely go back - soon I hope. Robyn

Val and John provided a beautiful home to stay in. Beautiful scenic views watching the sunset on the mountains. Beautiful wildlife surrounding the house. Lovely vinyl player with some amazing records provided. Lovely home to stay in for a scenic break. Definitely worth the stay :)

My family of 4 was made to feel very welcome in this beautiful cottage. The accommodation was clean, comfortable and just as described - beautiful! The hosts were lovely people and very easy to communicate with. If you are looking to 'get off the grid' and relax in a scenic and quiet space then you will love this spot. We look forward to staying here again!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this apartment. It is located in a quiet and relaxed surrounds. We were impressed by the space, warmth and details of the inside of this place. Our host were very friendly, eager to help with any of our questions. We hope we can come back another time.

Very nice cottage in the bush but not so far as to feel isolated. Well equipped cottage. Peaceful. Close to Samford and Brisbane yet so far away in terms of the city hustle and bustle. Lovely hosts.

When we arrived Andrew and Nette were very friendly and welcoming. After staying in the city for a week Cockatoo Cottage was the perfect country escape! The cottage was extremely clean and tidy and there was plenty of room for the three of us to stay. We will definitely be staying at Cockatoo Cottage again!

Absolutely wonderful stay!

Loved staying with Nette and Andrew. Cockatoo cottage is adorable and they are very hospitable hosts. Breakfast was great! The grounds around their house are beautiful too! We especially appreciated Nette's tips for attractions in the area and around our next destination, Cairns. Hopefully we can come back some day!

I stayed here with my husband John & it was such an amazing place. The hosts provided us with yummy treats & very friendly. Beautiful birds come & eat from the bird feeder. If you are looking for a place to getaway & enjoy the scenery I highly recommend Cockatoo Cottage.

We loved our 3 day stay, hope to return again, and highly recommend Cockatoo Cottage. Nette & Andrew were friendly welcoming helpful but unobtrusive hosts. The accommodation was spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated and a delight to stay in. Bed was comfortable and there is a big couch just right for relaxing. We saw cockatoos each morning while we ate breakfast outside. Nette provided a yummy breakfast basket with fruit, juice, fresh baked bread and organic muesli. There was homemade passion fruit yoghurt in the fridge which was really lovely. There was also condiments, tea and coffee etc. There is a great eclectic collection of books, but too little time to peruse them all. There are lovely walks nearby and a good exercise track in the village. Samford Village, less than 5 min drive away, has lots of good restaurants and coffee shops, supermarket, and all the basic shops. Wifi is not available in the cottage but Nette said it worked down by the pool. There is a microwave but no other cooking facilities but we enjoyed eating out at the different restaurants and cafes only a few minutes drive away.

We had a great stay at Cockatoo cottage and were made really welcome by Nette and Andrew. Nette was more than helpful, and Andrew picked up a takeaway Thai meal for us. I enjoyed sitting out by pool and catching up with my work on my laptop, then taking a dip in pool. We were able to sit outside and have our breakfast watching the antics of the Cockatoos and Rosella. Definitely recommended for a country setting only a few minutes drive from Brisbane.

We had an incredible time here and will never forget it. The spot was perfect- quiet and peaceful, this was one of the most relaxing holidays we've ever had. Very grateful to our wonderful hosts who made us feel very welcome, and can't wait to recommend to all our friends and family.

Truly beautiful cottage. Would definitely recommend it to anyone thinking about it. We were lucky enough to sample some home made jams and curds too!

Lisa's cottage was absolutely perfect and exactly as described... A real little retreat. The actual cottage was presented beautifully, with everything we needed for our weekend visit and more. Superb location, lovely hosts and immaculate and clean. We will definitely be returning for another getaway soon!

5 stars...just awesome

Megan was a very welcoming host & the Guesthouse was in excellent condition & very clean & tidy. It was a very peaceful & quiet location & only a few minutes drive to Samford village. I highly recommend Megan's Guesthouse to anyone wanting to have an enjoyable stay in the countryside.

Loved the guesthouse, had a wonderful easy stay, thank you for your thoughtfulness and great hospitality

Derek and Megan are fabulous. Great communication, very welcoming, and we had all that we needed for a short but lovely stay. Our hosts offered a great blend of inclusion and privacy. Hopefully we'll have another archery comp that we can stay longer and enjoy both the area and the hospitality a bit more! Thank you guys for a lovely stay.

We had the most fabulous relaxing stay with Megan and Derek. From the moment we arrived we felt so welcomed into their home. They went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed especially for our 9 month old son. The guesthouse was immaculately presented fully equipped with everything we needed and more. The property was beautiful and relaxing and also only 4 minutes to the village! Thank you to Megan, Derek and the boys for such a lovely stay. We will definitely be back the next time we are in Samford!

As with other reviews, I found Megan's house and hospitatlity to be of a top standard. Megan was so thoughtful in waiting up for my later arrival at midnight, and even providing some delivious fresh food as she knew I may not have eaten or had time to stop. Megan waa warm and hospitable and the unit was extremely clean, comfortable and well euqipped for relaxing and just being. The location near the local Steiner school was also perfect for my needs.

Such a well thought out and presented accommodation. There is nothing more that you could need or ask for in the quality and comforts provided in Megan's Airbnb. Every detail has been thought of and the comfort factor and ease of staying in this lovely apartment was so appreciated by us both. So clean, and lots of little extras provided which made our stay so much more relaxing and easy to explore this beautiful region. We will definitely be back. Thank you.

Great value, clean, peaceful and excellent host. Megan's hospitality was second to none- everything you need for a few days away, great kitchen and laundry facilities - games, reading material and DVDs all provided. Location allows for fresh air and an amazing night sky.

5 Star Paradise!!!! From the moment you arrive at Warren and Carols front gate you will be impressed. Specious family home set on huge lush green block. The self check in was smooth with clear instructions. The house itself has 4 lovely bedrooms and 2 stunning bathrooms. There are 3 living areas so our 2 families never felt like they were on top of each other. The home is full of quality furniture, appliances and linen. The kids were kept fully entertained with toys and dress up's provided and out the back there is a large play equipment with rock wall/swings and sandpit. Kids had a ball. It's so peaceful and quiet, we enjoyed having breakfast with the kookaburra's each morning -what a treat! Warren and Carol were excellent host's, responding to any questions we had very quickly. I would highly recommend "Fumius Bush Retreat" and would love to return some day.

We really enjoyed our stay at Warren and Carole's house. As a family get-together for 6 adults, we all had heaps of room both inside and outdoors. We loved the bonfire outside and the ambiance of the lounge room area. Everything we needed was available for cooking. The house felt very comfortable and welcoming as soon as we stepped inside. Kids would just adore the outside play area. I've already booked a return visit in the summer.

Lovely home, suitable for both warm and cold weather. As it was a little colder when we visited, it was great to have the the fire pit.

We were 6 ladies looking for a girls winter getaway, Fuimus was perfect. We had many red wines around the fire pit, toasted marshmallows, made damper in a camp oven, plenty of outdoor seating, and indoor too. Would be perfect for a large family getaway also as there were many things for kids to do there, great place highly recommend for a country getaway!

A really great place for a family get together. Even with six adults and three kids there was plenty if space, we all loved it.

Everything about this house and yard is perfect. We particularly liked the wonderful playground for our little grandchildren

The house was beautiful with loads of room for the whole family. The whole family enjoyed being able to get together in such a beautiful setting. Thank you to Warren and Carol for your wonder hospitality.

Lovely modern spacious home close to Samford Village

Had a nice stay at Glenis & Peter's. We spent most of our time outside, but we did enjoy the snooker table a few times and the wallabies having dinner. Samford Valley is a lovely area. We'd definitely recommend their place for anyone looking for a quiet escape.

If you love nature and want to get away from the city, then this is your place. Beautiful property. The symphony of bird calls in the morning is fabulous. Peter was a great host. Always prompt and very helpful. About a 30 minute drive on the weekends, an hour in peak traffick or $60 Uber fare from the heart of the Brisbane.

I really enjoyed staying here. Wish I had stayed longer to fully utilize the amenities and location. Lovely people, they will make your stay an enjoyable and comfortable one! Would recommend!

We had a wondeful time at Glenis & Peter's place. We look forward to going back!

We planned a weekend in Camp Mountain to rest, swim and enjoy the beauty and seclusion of Samford Valley. Glenis' place offered exactly that. Our stay was 10/10. We highly recommend staying here. Thank you so much Glenis and Peter for making our stay just perfect!!

Great stay. Clean private and peaceful. Modern facilities, great views made for a great little getaway. Excellent hosts and wouldn't hesitate in staying hear again.

Had a fantastic time at glenis and peters apartment. The bed was super super comfy and the pool table was a cool addition. Would definitely stay again. Thank you!

We had a lovely, quick, weekend getaway at Glenis and Peter's beautiful unit. The unit was clean and had everything we needed for the night. Our host's were friendly and easy to contact. The location, which is only a 1/2 hour from Brisbane, was beautiful and quiet. We would recommend this unit for anyone looking for a quick escape.

THE HOST WAS GREAT! THE PLACE WAS GREAT! LOOKING FORWARD TO STAYING THERE WHEN WE RETURN!

Lovely location with forest track at the back of the house for walking and running. Only 25 minutes from Mount Glorious, but also only 15 minutes from shopping centers and 30 minutes from Brisbane CBD. The apartment itself was very comfortable and Anita and John were very helpful and friendly and made us feel very welcome.

Thank you very much for a lovely place to stay. It was great to meet you both. Thank you for opening your home to us! Esther (Definitely a 5 star experience! Anita and Jon made our family very welcome. And their house was a quiet and peaceful place to stay.)

2nd time staying here. Excellent. Will definitely recommend!

Fantastic! Great secluded, quiet and beautiful location! Everything was clean and tidy. No complaints whatsoever! Highly recommended if you're looking for a romantic secluded location for a getaway!

Anita and John are fabulous hosts and their property is just breathtaking!! It was perfect for our group of travellers!!

Lovely bush outlook - reminded us of Africa, a place we once lived! Very clean, comfortable and quiet and perfect for our needs!

What a pleasure it was meeting Anita & John. These gracious hosts provided a comfortable, clean, quiet place to rest our heads. The bush outlook was a delight, and seeing a koala asleep in a tree was magic. Highly recommended.

The peace and tranquility of the location was perfect. The unit was very clean, adequate and the basic supplies that were catered came in handy. Also the friendly and helpful manner of Chris,Tracey, Louise and James made our stay very enjoyable. We would highly recommend their BnB to others (but would love to keep it as our little secret hide away).

Great hosts made me welcome

We enjoyed a pleasant stay here, it feels very exotic with the cockatoos and other wildlife around and the beautiful scenery. The pool and tennis court are also great features! Everything was nice in the apartment too, is all as described. There is a Coles not too far away which is also handy. The only downside was the wifi which didn't really work for us, but otherwise I would definitely recommend staying here!

The pool house is so spacious and the view out from the lounge over pool is so relaxing. Everything was provided in the pool house. Very clean and tidy. We especially enjoyed Chris and Tracey's relaxed nature and their interesting conversations. They have a wonderful balance of providing privacy and enjoying company. The surrounding parks are full of adventure. Trails for hiking and biking. The pool house is very quiet with only the sound of nature. The location is out of the city but with a hire car and a GPS we found it easy to get around. We fully enjoyed our stay and will definitely come back to visit.

We enjoyed our stay with Chris and Tracey, their place is very clean and well laid out. The pool and tennis court looked inviting. The unit had every you needed for catering for yourself and the supermarket is a short drive away. We had lovely fluffy towels and the hand soap and other products smelt beautiful. The only downside is that the bathroom is a little dated but it served the purpose. We would recommend this place for it quiet location and wonderful hosts Great value for your money.

Writing this review is a bit difficult for me as I feel like im giving the world my favourite fishing spot! Chris and Tracey were the most accommodating and gracious hosts with nothing being a problem. The pictures do not do the property justice , it is set in a rural tree lined picture perfect area only a short distance to the city and a great local shopping area with great restaurants . Once you are there it feels more like a resort than a house with access to the large swimming pool , full size tennis court and large grassed areas for you to enjoy at your leisure. The apartment is fully self-contained with all new furniture and fittings. The fridge even had a few basics waiting for you when you arrived so you could have a cup of tea or beer while you watch the world go past on the paved area overlooking the pool

My stay was wonderful, Chris and Tracey were fantastic host, I couldn't have ask for more. Enjoyed time chatting with both of them. The unit is bigger than i expected, clean and everything you needed is there. I would highly recommend a stay with them. Thank you Chris and Tracey.

Such a friendly family. Great pool. Cheap- ( I bunked with others) but it was exactly what I needed. I am Very grateful of their hospitality.

One of the most beautiful accommodations you can find

Wish we could have stayed longer! Audrey and Shane were great hosts and we were made to feel part of the family as soon as we arrived. The room was large and comfortable, and tucked upstairs so nice and quiet. Excellent value!

If you want to escape to the country for a picturesque quiet retreat – whilst only a few kms from the supermarket/shopping complex – this is the place for you. Country style home, with modern recently renovated facilities & décor inside. With nothing too difficult, super friendly accommodating hosts – you wont want to leave (or shop)!!!

By far one of the best holiday homes we have stayed in!!! the place is awesome and comfortable the hosts Audrey and Shane are simply the most amazing people you would meet while travelling to another country! We were a family of 4 with two young kids 5 and 4 year old... overall the house was very comfortable. We had two separate bed rooms upstairs with living space in between.. downstairs was the living, dining and kitchen... very cozy and comfortable! the property is just amazing... full of natural beauty, there is a dam in the property, lots of open grass fields for kids to run around, a very friendly and affectionate dog, and equally adorable cat, and a few chickens provide you company though out the day... occasionally lorikeets, cockatoos and Kookaburra will also visit the bird feeder. if you are looking for a quick getaway that's not too far from town but still is secluded and quiet then look no further! Finally Audrey and Shane, thanks for bonfire and the lovely barbeque dinner!!! Myra is a big fan of you both and can't stop talking about her experience at your place... we look forward to seeing you some time again!

If you plan on seeing a live band at Eaton's Hotel, Brisbane, and need somewhere close by to stay that is very affordable and comfortable, with great hosts, then Audrey's place is the go. Thanks for having us Audrey, and thanks for looking after us, cheers Grant.

Thanks again for such an amazing stay, such a beautiful home! We felt incredibly welcome and found it hard to leave such an inviting home with such a warm, friendly hostess.

Audrey and Shane's place was like a home away from home. Our room was super clean, comfy and cosy. The bathroom was pristine. Shane and Audrey were so down to earth and insisted we had some nibbles with them in the outside entertaining area. The house is located on idyllic acreage and Nova and Dexter were super friendly and cuddly. We are already looking forward to the next gig at Eatons Hill Hotel so we can visit again and enjoy another stay with Audrey and Shane.

Audrey and Shane were a friendly couple.The property was well situated. The bed was comfortable the cat & dog were super friendly this was our first airbnb stay & overall was a pleasant stay.

Audrey and Shane are the nicest people! Their house is beautiful and the room is very cozy. Their pets are absolutely adorable, especially the friendly dog! He will take all the pats you can give! Would recommend without second thoughts!

I love the views from the cottage and the fresh air. It's really refreshing and relaxing to have coffee at the out side table.

A quiet and relaxing escape. A cosy place to return to after returning from Mt Glorious and an enjoyable but wet walk. Good views and heard abundant birdlife on a short morning walk.

Loved our time at the Mountain House Birder's Cottage! The place was exactly as described, spacious, clean and very comfy. Megan and Roger are great host. The place was so quiet, for nature lovers, it is definitely the perfect place. One night wasn't enough so we will definitely come back.

We loved the cottage and location.

Thankyou, excellent hosts. Very clear communication, very welcoming and accommodating. Simple, clean and great views. All basic needs provided for, with some lovely extra touches.

The place is fantastic, both the views and the nature in the property are really pleasant. Moreover, Megan and Roger are really nice hosts, I had dinner with them a copule of times and the food was great and they are really friendly and flexible. The cottage is really well equipped and my only regret is not having had more time to spend there. But if you are into birdwatching (or wildlife watching) things are even better! Roger has a lot of detailed info of the area, making easier to spot birds/mammals of interest. For example, he told me where to spot my first wild platypus. 100% recommended!

Wow! what a beautiful spot! Absolutely loved the bush land setting and seeing so many kinds of birds and one very curious Koala. The walking tracks were great, lovely views. The cottage was very comfortable, I loved the little touch of the Bougainvilleas on the bed with the towels and the chocolates! We dined with Roger and Megan on their balcony overlooking the Cedar Valley lights, the food was delicious and we really enjoyed their company, it turned out that we had a little in common with them, they are a really interesting couple, who love nature and have such a great wealth of knowledge, thank you guys for a great weekend, we would definitely like to come back again one day!

Great job Megan and Roger. Loved staying at your cottage. Would definitely come back.

It was our first time with Airbnb and we really enjoy it! They helped us with many things and were always friendly. Lovely People! We love the house; it's beautiful and always clean. In reality even better as on the pictures. Immer wieder gerne! Herzensgute Menschen! Wir sind sehr begeistert von Allem :)

Our welcome by Peter and Rosi was both prompt and cheerful. We were quickly made to feel at home and would not hesitate to stay with them again when necessary.
