Wren Cottage

Cathie Simpson

A wonderful, comfortable cottage in quiet surrounds - enjoyed 6 leisurely days that went by far too quickly! We will be back 😊

Great apartment for 3 couples. Particularly the three ensuite bathrooms. Very clean very tidy. We tried to use the telescope but had no luck. We packed all the kitchen items which we were told to bring then found the same items at the apartment. ....a little frustrating but not a big issue. Happy to recommend this property.

We thoroughly enjoyed our 5 days in the Bunya Mountains. The weather was great and bird life was prolific. We particularly enjoyed the quiet lifestyle in the estate. The people we met were friendly. The staff at Bunya Mountains Accommodation were terrific and vey helpful. We will be back.

Our stay at Wren Cottage was a very relaxing time. We were there from 4/1/21 to 12/1/21. The cottage is perfect for a couple as it isn’t to large to take care of. The Bunyan’s is a place we love to visit when able

Jared Janke

Everything we hoped for and more. It was cosy and private. Plenty of visiting wallabies and bird life. Was easy walking distance to the cafes and walking tracks. Everything was perfect. We hope to be back and will be trying to get the Wren Cottage again.

Barry Deacon

We really enjoyed our stay at Wren Cottage. Loved staying there in fact . The cottage was clean and comfortable and really suited our needs.

Firstly, apologies for the delay in replying. We had a wonderful short break away at Jenny Wren cottage. It was was a beautiful property, well equipped & a wonderful wildlife experience. The only negatives were as follows: Musty smell in the main bedroom downstairs Mould on the bathroom ceiling Dishwasher wasn't working properly-probably because it needed rinse aide Cupboards in the kitchen stunk-cupboards & dishes required cleaning Electric blanket in the main bedroom needed replacing-exposed wires near the switch The hot water temperature was dangerously hot. For the above reasons we probably wouldn't stay at Jenny Wren again. Instead we would look for a newer better maintained cottage.

We really enjoyed our stay. Well equipped and well maintained cottage and interesting cottage furnishing.

Our cottage was everything we could have imagined - quiet, private, well kept and very comfortable with lovely big balconies to enjoy all the wildlife - and there was a lot! The cottage was far enough away from the village for that country feel but close enough to be able to walk for a coffee or dinner.

Nicola Johnston

This cottage was a comfortable, well presented cosy home with character. It suited our family perfectly and we would stay there again.

Nicole Crawford

We had a wonderful stay at Wren Cottage. Very cosy. The wildlife was amazing. My little girl loved feeding the birds and the wallabies. The hiking was wonderful... so peaceful- very hard to come back to reality

Anne Kirby

Our stay at the Bunya Mountains was lovely. Wren Cottage is a charming and cozy cottage with plenty of wildlife closeby.

Late Thamm

Absolutely perfect place for a weekend getaway! Great location with just a short walk to the cafes yet secluded enough to feel like you’re getting a break from reality. Will definitely be back next year !

Michelle Fisher

Lovely home with cosy fire, and wrap around verandah for viewing the birds & wildlife.

Sally Oliver

everything was wonderful

Christine Nichols

Top marks for the fireplace and abundance of wood, followed by the comfy lounge to gaze out the window at the majestic trees and best of all... ALL the bedrooms had their own ensuite!

Bunya was beautiful but felt quite Let down and disappointed with cleanliness of Wren cottage It was very dusty and had lots of ants in the kitchen, the broom handle would not stay on the broom so could not sweep the floors with ease. Felt very let down and disappointed as I was told that all rental accommodation was being sanitised between rentals. Lost electricity on Saturday evening at 5.45 pm had to wait two and a half hours for the staff to call back to tell me it was a energy fault and a crew were being sent out from Dalby, when I expressed my concerns on Sunday morning about the delay on returning my calls to advise what was happening I was told that the lady in the office had gone shopping after work and that she had called me as soon as she got back to the office around 8.30pm. I was informed “That I was lucky that another house had called the energy company” these comments made me feel like my comment about the Time it took someone to get back to me to advise what was happening was just swept as aside and left us feeling like we were a major inconvenience. How dare we be unhappy with the fact that we had no power were unable to Heat our dinner Have a coffee and had no idea when the power would come back on or even if it would come back on.

We stayed this weekend and were very disappointed. Wren Cottage needed a good clean. you could write your name in the dust on the furniture, My understanding was that every rental was being sanitised between rentals due to the Covid 19. The kitchen cupboard under the sink is about to fall off and the kitchen was overrun with ants, there was bad mould on the ceiling above the TV. The broom handle would not stay on the broom, The toilet seat is loose and about to fall off. On Saturday night about 5.45 I had just put dinner on to cook and we lost power, checked fuse box all good with the fuse box , tried to call the emergency number several times, also sent a SMS message. Finally got a call from the staff at 8.30 pm to say a energy crew were being sent out from Dalby. This morning when I mentioned my concerns at the office about it taking over 2 hours before some one called us back to let us know what was happening, the lady became quite defence, told me that she had gone shopping after work and that the other lady was in the office and as soon as she got back to the office she phoned me to tell me that the crews were coming out from Dalby. Then she went onto say that I was lucky that the people in Serenity had called The energy company. I did ask that my comment were passed on to the owners but after the reaction from the office staff I decided that I needed to leave a review . I would visit Bunya mountain again but would not stay in Wren Cottage.

Leigh Saunders

Beautiful setting and wonderful house, only down side is it doesn’t have curtains in main living area so felt quite exposed in the evenings with people and cars going past.

David Gough

Had a wonderful time and Wren Cottage was just perfect for our group of 5. Some tuition with the star gazing would have been a help, but never mind. Wonderful firewood too! Will have to return when the circut track has been renovated.

Vicki Huggins

Accomodation was clean and comfortable, and setting very peaceful. Picture quality on TV could have been better but overall a lovely retreat

Carolyn Bell

Great location, overlooking bunyas and flame trees, offset from the road and with lots of wildlife visiting. Will be rebooking this place again.

Jeff Bedford

Wren Cottage is a cute little place that needs work to be competitive with the other places of similar price that we've stayed at in the Bunyas. First impressions were a bit dismal. The front yard was overgrown with large vines hanging down and partially covering what we eventually discovered was the property access. There is no established driveway, which confused us at first and we had to drive by twice to determine where to enter the property. Since one must drive uphill across the lawn to get to the road, we are concerned 2WD vehicles might get stuck in the wet. The initial presentation of the house was somewhat unkept, giving an impression that the house had not been used for a long time. The carpets are dirty-looking, and the lounge carpet has several burnt spots including one that burned through to the flooring. There are no fans or air-conditioning, making the place too hot on summer afternoons. The French doors and single-hung windows are drafty, which could be uncomfortable in winter. Some have no screens. The lounge furniture is set up so that only one person can watch TV. We did not see a smoke alarm and hope we simply missed spotting it. We did like the forested location where we saw many different birds. There is a good selection of kitchen items and utensils. The bathroom is a decent size with a shower. When the weather is fine and it's not too hot or cold Wren Cottage would be somewhat doable, provided there are smoke alarms on the ground floor.

I enjoyed our stay at Wren Cottage. It was clean an comfortable and we appreciated the fact that it has been recently painted outside. However, for the $ being charged, the interior and general supplies are looking very tired. The seating in the living room was only just adequate with only one arm chair (broken arm) and a sofa. No kitchen supplies of any kind. A few tea bags, some glad wrap etc would have been welcome. The carpet in the living area badly needs replacing. All the furniture is looking pretty tired. It was nice that our hosts offered us a discount for our stay, however. We gladly spent those $ at the coffee shops.

Jackie Brown

Loved our 3 night stay. So much wildlife on the doorstep. King Parrots, Satin Bowerbirds, Rosellas, Currawongs, Wallabies & the ubiquitous Brush Turkeys.

Julia

Wren cottage was perfect for our family mini getaway. I have been coming to the Bunya mountains now for over 20 years and this cottage is a gem. For our family with two kids it was perfect. We had wallabies at the bottom of the steps that greeted us each morning and the rainforest created a backdrop full of melodies and calls from the local bird life. We were able to hand feed the birds with the seed that the local store provide at a small cost and bring back to the cottage. We observed satin bower birds, catbirds, parrots and rosellas. The house is right in the middle of the bunya title estate, however the rainforest surrounds it and gives the cottage a sense of privacy. We enjoyed sharing in laughter with board games near the log fire or snuggle up under the blanket on the sofa and watch the wildlife. We will definitely be back to spend another family holiday at Wren cottage.

Songbird is not on your Select a Property list. We stayed at Songbird last weekend and really enjoyed the house. We loved being beside the bush and feeding the birds on the deck, particularly the cockatoos that we haven’t had up at Bunya before. We would like to make a suggestion for the owners. It would be nice to have a couple of comfortable chairs on the deck as sitting on benches at our age is not as much fun as it used to be. Over the years we’ve stayed in approximately 17 different houses and Songbird is one of the best. Cheryl Garmany

Tim Redmond

We had a lovely time. The weather was beautiful, the rainforest walk was lovely and the outlook stunning with birds constantly visiting and wallabies all around us.

Yvette Boikowski

Wren cottage is a nice little cottage. The kitchen only fits one person in at a time so ideal for just a couple. Nice big bathroom. The beds are very hard though and the bedrooms have a mold smell to them

Sandra Kessey

Very comfortable and clean. Enjoyed a relaxing stay. Birdlife amazing.

Richard Morison

Beautiful Bunya Mountains, so many wallabies and birds, a warm fireplace inside with cosy couches - what's not to like? The house is starting to look a bit run down on the outside, but inside is well-maintained and the kitchen well-stocked with crockery & cooking items.

Allan Riley

Had a relaxing time in Wren Cottage. The house was well appointed and quite welcoming and private. Would recommend.

Jim Chisholm

The Blue Wren Cottage was idea for ourselves and the two other couples. The three bedrooms each with ensuite were large and well appointed. There was a lot of room in the main living area and the fireplace was great. It was a nice walk to the restaurant and Poppies. I would recommend to any group of people who want a nice weekend in the Bunyas.

Sonia Tobin

Peter Fernandes

Nice place. Fireplace was great. However, would be so much better if place was restocked with decent kitchenware for cooking.

Paul Davies

This is a great property. Well equipped and clean.

Mark Hampel

Excellent place. Tucked away in the Bush. Perfect for two.

Kris Panagiotopoulos

Cottage was well presented and a good size for a family of four. A few small issues that would make the experience even better include the upholstering one of the lounge recliners (the one with worn leather pieces falling off), a new CD player (the current one does not work) and a few books/magazines (adult novels of various genre and children books). On the maintenance front, the toilet cistern leaked and there was no axe (just a splitter) which made cutting the firewood into smaller prices difficult.

Sharon McRae

Lovely outlook and surroundings. Wren Cottage looking a bit rundown in need of a paint job, new carpets, bathroom and furniture.

Janet Chard

I enjoyed my stay at Wren Cottage mostly due to the comfortable furniture and lovely outlook from the verandahs. However, I was most uncomfortable with the lack of curtains in the lounge/dining/kitchen because at night anyone passing by outside could see inside. The curtains and blinds in the bedrooms were ineffective due to the gaps either side of the blinds and the unlined curtains were see-through when the lights were on. I felt that the cottage looked unloved due to the need for a thorough spring-clean inside and out as there were a lot of cobwebs and dust. I will visit the Bunyas again, but next time will book a cottage that is more private.
