Lovely cottage. Very clean. Very comfortable. Bunya very good place for a break

We chose mid-week and were so pleased to have a lot less visitors. But Ballymore was perfect: big, everything you could possibly need, extraordinary collection of 80s DVDs and plenty of very friendly parrots.

Good stay as always. This is our yearly week holiday here at Bunya mountain with 3 other families since 1985. There had been many changes since, more houses and more visitors. The weather is usually cooler than Brisbane this time of the year. All our children used to love coming up here when they were young staying the week but they now have their own families or careers over sea so mainly the seniors are here every year to welcome the new year. Bunya mountain is a memorial place for us all since the first time we stepped foot here in 1985. We hope to visit for many more years yet.

We recently had a lovely stay at Ballymore. It is situated in the Rainforest Estate quite high up with a beautiful north facing sunroom that captured the summer breeze. A lovely area to escape and have some quiet time. The house has two separate dining areas with an extra eating area on the front verandah. It was lovely to rotate our dining and activity areas around these areas over our short stay! The house is well equipped with two bathrooms both upstairs and downstairs and a has just had the kitchen renovated. Breakfast was a treat on the verandah cooking with a new BBQ with a hood and the local wildlife (Corella's) paying us a visit! The restaurant, cafe, walking tracks and tennis court are just a short walk away which we enjoyed. Overall a great place to stay at a very reasonable price!

What a nice place to stay! All the conveniences you could possibly want and excellent instructions on what to bring (or hire), how to get there, how to find the office and then Ballymore itself. The General Store has basics if you forget to pack something. If you don't intend using the restaurant or cafe, remember to do your shopping on the way. The verandah is a great place for a late afternoon BBQ watching the wildlife (wallabies). Take particular note about the wildlife and that ticks are a given. If you spend any time on the grass area you will probably attract a few. This is no problem if you are aware and take a suitable repellent precaution. There are LOTS of wallabies and the various parrots will visit try to con food. The National Park is right there and there are even walks suitable for mobility challenged people. Mobility challenged people would not do the complete circuit track due to sections with steps and no hand rail but still worth the effort. Remember - it is not just about daytime. Being well away from city lights, if the sky is clear a short drive of about 2km to Fishers Lookout provides an ideal place to view the night sky.

Ballymore is in a perfect location, a short stroll from the the 'village' and the start of the walking trails. It was fully stocked with firewood, a huge BBQ, well equipped kitchen and comfortable beds and furniture. The shape of the house meant the fire kept the whole house toasty warm, even in the upstairs bedrooms. The only issue is that there are triangular glass sections above the main bedroom windows, which do not have curtains/blinds on them so the sun floods in very early in the morning...definitely not conducive to a sleep-in!

Had a great time. House was well equipped, had everything we needed.

Jan and Mark Evans

Couldn't fault it. Spacious, clean, comfortable and very well equipped - although couldn't find the egg cups!! Would certainly recommend it - and in fact already have! Exactly the sort of place you would wish to spend a relaxing weekend - or week even - in The Bunyas.

Eve Thompson

We had a wonderful stay at Ballymore and the Bunya Mountains. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay!

Jamie Neil

Very pleasant and comfortable accommodation.

Comfortable stay. Will equipped house.

Ballymore was a lovely cosy house to stay in. The best features were the ample dining areas and the sunroom that made a perfect kids playroom. The bedrooms were generous sized although I would have loved some blinds for the high windows as the rooms stayed quite light during the day which wasn’t ideal for children napping. Bathrooms were not modern but perfectly functional, although no bath for babies. Great location with a big yard, great views and a short walk to the cafe.

Enjoyed using the new kitchen

This is the seventh house we have stayed in and my favourite. Great dejection of books, DVDs a beautiful sun room. Very cosy, great fire and balcony.

Sarah Pugh

Beautiful spot and stunning scenery. We have visited many times and will definitely be back again. Love the sunroom in this house, lovely spot for afternoon coffee.

Our third year in a row visiting the Bunya Mountains. It is the perfect destination for a complete reconnection with nature, disconnect from the technology world we live in and connect with family again. The freshest air, the clearest skies and the most wonderful forest to explore.

Jana Ferero

We loved our stay at Ballymore over the weekend - it was perfect for our family holiday. The house was tidy, clean & very well equipped. Lovely views! Will definitely be staying here again.

Bill Henderson

Great House...our 17th year of staying at this most comfortable home...

Gail Ogilvie

We had a family group of 8 to celebrate our daughter's 25th birthday. We came from Brisbane and Dalby. The house was absolutely perfect for us, cosy but plenty of room to not be in each others way. Every cupboard we opened was a surprise - so many books, dvds and games to choose from. We used all options, playing games at night reading and watching DVDs in the afternoon - TV and phones were not switched on at all! As we cooked most meals we found the kitchen to be more than adequate for our needs. We will most definitely return preferably for a longer time. Would highly recommend the house as well as the booking service. A shame some of the walks and lookout were closed. The Café does a wonderful breakfast and excellent coffee and scones.

Michael Clarke

Cannot fault accommodation. Every thing we required was there. The availability of wood for the fire was great, as was the joy of all the wildlife. Will definitely be back as we have stayed at this home before.

Simon Feros

A really wonderful weekend. The house was well-equipped, comfortable and had plenty of spaces for relaxation. Bunya Mountains is the perfect place for a weekend away!

all good

Everything was lovely as usual - the sunroom in Ballymore is such a wonderful spot for card games/chatting etc! Only downside to our visit this year was the fridge in the laundry wasn't cold enough - even though the temp was turned to max. We rely on this fridge for the vast quantites of food we bring to the mountain for our annual family gathering! (Mar 8-10th 2019)

We enjoyed a family Christmas at Ballymore and had a wonderful and enjoyable time of it. We did bush walks each day, spent time reading, enjoyed cups of coffee and generally had a relaxing time. We could not have expected any more than what we had to do as that was the type of Christmas we wanted to have. Whilst Ballymore was very spacious and had every imaginable thing that you could possibly want or need there were however just a couple of niggling things that you and/or the owners should be aware of. Firstly the second refrigerator in the laundry was a great disappointment as we intended to use it for all our drinks. We stocked it up and came back at a later time to get some drinks out only to find that the fridge was not working. The freezer part of the fridge worked ok but the actual fridge itself was completely out of commission. There was not even a sign to inform us that the fridge was inoperable. The females in our group were very put out by the second problem which was that as there was no dishwashing machine, which was ok, they expected there to be tea towels supplied especially as we were never advised to bring these items with us. The two tea towels that we did have with us ended up dripping wet with all the washing of dishes etc which had to be carried out.

Absolutely lovely house to stay in. Lovely facilities, very spacious and really well looked after

Annual Bunya Trip! This is our 12th year straight and some years sneaking in a double visit. First time staying in Ballymore and it was AMAZING! Have already rebooked for next year! We have two small children and the house was great especially the gorgeous sunroom! Only suggestion I’d have is maybe a few hooks in the bathrooms to hang clothes on but that’s only a minor first world problem, can’t fault Ballymore!
