Fantail Cottage

Shilleena Collins

What a lovely property. Lovely feel to it & a gorgeous layout. We had a ball!

Peter Stewart

After many years of staying at the Bunya Mountains, Fantail Cottage is possibly the best accommodation we’ve ever had in the mountains. It was the perfect size and location which was great but the true standout is that the cottage had everything we needed, from salt and pepper to cooking pans and utensils. It is by the far the best set up accommodation we’ve had the pleasure of staying in at the Bunya Mountains.

Lee Wood

Second stay at this lovely little cottage. Great location and the perfect retreat if you need to clear your head and rest. Love the wildlife and birdlife. Park the car and walk to all conveniences and walking tracks.

Belinda Burris-Scott

We absolutely loved our stay at Fantail Cottage. All the extra little provisions etc are really so generous & appreciated. It is the best set up home we have stayed in & will definitely return. As a family of 5 we wish the hot water system was bigger so we could enjoy the beautiful bathtub as well but understand it is tank water too. Really lovely home & could not have asked for anything more! Thank you so much!

David Jahnke

Great place to stay, very comfortable and well set up. Lovely touch leaving a welcoming bottle of wine. Second year staying here and more than likely make it a third.

Melissa Baker

This was a lovely place to stay. I would highly recommend it! I would definitely stay here again! There were lots of little extras that made it very welcoming like tea and coffee, shampoo and soap and even a bottle of wine! It even had internet if you need that. We loved it!

Graeme & Carmel Cruden

A beautiful and refreshing stay. Enjoyed the National Park walk and Poppy’s Cafe. The area was so quiet and relaxing. A great break from city life.

Fantail Cottage is a little gem. Originally, we were sad when we couldn’t get into one of our regular homes but it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. We have a new favourite house for when we come away as a couple or just with my parents. The added extras - bottle of wine and complimentary toiletries - make all the difference and the kitchen and laundry are well stocked. Thank you for another magical stay - our 30th year of Bunya Bliss 💚

Janie Waterhouse

We are 3 work colleagues having a much needed break before the Christmas rush at work and were very impressed with our little chalet. All the special extra touches… blankets, candles, and beautiful decor created the perfect cosy getaway for us to relax, and recharge.

Jenny W

I love this accommodation, it is so clean and well-appointed. The small touches, such as bathroom products, pantry supplies and generous range of kitchen assessories as well as deep bath, chopped wood and perfect location make this our favourite Bunya accommodation. Will continue to return.

Janice Morton

Great location and easy access. Very well appointed property with unexpected and additional items available - board games, dvd collection, basic pantry (condiments, storage bags etc) and cleaning items. Log fire very effective, the whole cottage felt warm and cosy. Very clean and well maintained. WiFi not operational was the only downside even tho directions were followed and repeated! Not a big issue tho as the idea is to get away from all that! Would definitely return.

Loretta Brits

We had an excellent stay at Fantail Cottage. Loved everything about the Cottage. From birdfeeding, watching the wallabies, listening to the dingo's howling early morning in the distance, the nature, trail walks. We definitely will come back.

Leanne and Geoff Brown

We had an amazing holiday at Bunya Mountains. It was our first time there, and we are so impressed with all the walking trails available. Fantail Cottage was so clean, comfortable and fully equipped with everything we could possibly think of (including the lovely little surprise bottle of wine). Thank you for making our stay so enjoyable.

Graeme Smith

Wonderful cottage in a beautiful setting. We enjoyed breakfasts in the deck, watching the wallabies and visiting birds.

Biji Joseph

Very welcoming and peaceful place to stay. Beautiful views all around.

Angela Engelbrecht

We had the most amazing time at Fantail Cottage. The cottage is so well equiped and comfortable and had everything we needed for our 4 night stay, and more. The bed was also very comfortable. The bird visits on the back deck are such a treat. The Bunya Mountains are so beautiful with the most amazing walks and great restaurant and coffee shop. The cottage is so close to everything we hardly needed to move our car. I will definitely recommend Fantail Cottage to my family and friends and we will be back. Loved every minute of our stay here. We went home feeling very peaceful and refreshed.

Mandy Collyer

Absolutely loved this beautiful home. We felt very comfortable and loved that the little things that make a difference were supplied. It was the little touches like the cute coffee mugs, the oil supplied for the bbq, the breadmaker and the array of serving bowls, ziplock bags and bbq. Our stay was very relaxing in the cottage.

Geri Quinn

We had a wonderful 2 days at

Rosie Young

Fantastic in every way. Clean and tidy. A lovely comfortable, well equiped and cosy house. Bonus, having expected little or no mobile signal, was 100% improved from our very limited reception at home. We will be back.

Marija Stjepanovic

The stay was lovely and the cottage kitchen is well stocked for my foodie family.

Joanne Wood

Love this place. Perfect for our family and close to walking tracks.

Debra Buchanan

Fantail Cottage was a pleasure to stay in for three nights. We could easily have stayed another three nights! It is a very well set up home with everything you could possibly need. It has a large kitchen and a newly renovated and stylish bathroom. Fantail Cottage is roomy, very comfortable and cosy. It includes lots of lovely little extras which help to make it special. The outlook is picturesque and peaceful. We had a wonderful break and look forward to returning in the future.

Cjndy Brown

This cottage is gorgeous and exactly as it appears in the photos. The kitchen is stocked with everything you need from glasswear to nibblies plates and clip seal bags. Views from the front and back verandahs are green and peaceful and the wallabies and birdlife are calm and friendly. It's a quick walk to the Cafe and the Tavern - we were visiting for a wedding and the reception was held at Poppy's Cafe, with quite possibly the best meals we've ever had at a wedding. We had 3 adults in the cottage and there was more than enough room. The only negative we could mention is that the bathroom was terribly cold, however we just moved the heater from the downstairs bathroom as needed. The reverse cycle air-conditioning upstairs in the loft kept that area warm and comfortable, while the fireplace worked well on the living and kitchen space.

Caroline Wilson

Lovely home with thoughtful extras provided.

Karen Barnett

Love love love this magical little house. Have been coming to the Bunyas since 1989 and have stayed in quite a few different houses with family and friends this time it was just the 2 of us for just 3 nights this house is so well equipped with everything you need it was so warm and cosy with the fire, electric blankets lots of throw blankets, loved the stand alone bath tub. The weather wasn’t very good lots of rain but we just sat back and relaxed for a change. A lovely touch was the complimentary bottle of wine. We will definitely be back to this accommodation hopefully for a bit longer next time. Many thanks to the owners who have thought of everything ❤️😊

Ruth Holland

Beautifully decorated and homely :)

Rachel Onderwater

We loved fantail cottage!will definitely itky be back again one day. The cottage had a lot of charm. The kids loved there room. The timber ceiling was spectacular. Lots of games and DVDs, we especially loved the cards table. Comfortable donnas and pillows. Large kitchen! Best of all was the location, right on the edge of the forrest. We had many bird visitors, and even a dingo.

Erin Bannister

Beautiful cottage in a great location. Very comfy beds! Loved the amenities left by owners - shampoo/conditioner, body wash and hand soaps - was a lovely gesture. 5th time staying in the mountains and so far the best cottage!

Ross Barnes

We enjoyed our stay in this beautiful area. The cottage was well appointed. What did spoil it for us, there was no chopped wood in the box outside. I am of the age where chopping wood is not recommended, therefore not able to use the fireplace, which was a shame as it was very cold. Perhaps it should be a question ask when people book accommodation , are they able to chop wood.

Petra Stanton

Cottage was lovely, clean and inviting. Cupboards packed with everything you need. Beautiful surroundings and easy walks.

Laurelle Mossop

Fantail Cottage is our new go to cottage in the Bunyas..10 out of 10.

Janet Henderson

We love this house, never stay anywhere else. The owners provide everything you could need. So nicely set up.

David Eames

We wrote our glowing review in the Guest Book. (21 May to 25 May 2023.)

Adele O’Hare

We had a lovely relaxing stay. Bush walks and feeding the birds were highlights. While the fireplace was nice, it did a poor job of heating the cottage because the baffle plate was missing, so most of the heat went out of the chimney or to the top of the cottage, and the ground floor remained quite cold even when the fire was roaring. It would be great if this was remedied for future winter guests. A sweet cottage with plenty of cosy nooks for reading. We had a relaxing time.

Andrew Scott

Great little cottage! It was our second time there and was just as good as the first. We will be back for sure!

Jordan Jones

My partner and I had a wonderful time in Fantail Cottage and wish we could have stayed longer. It was perfect inside and out with all the necessities! Bunya Mountains is a magical place and we wish to return soon :)

Leslie Webb

I had such a wonderful stay in Fantail Cottage. It had absolutely everything I needed for cooking my baked dinner, plus as a wonderful gift a complimentary bottle of wine! I was able to have a fire with plenty of wood and lighting materials. Birds came for afternoon visits in the back deck and picking up and returning key was made easy with drop off box. Love my yearly stays in Bunya.

diane baldry

very comfortable and great location

Lex Dodd

Fantail cottage is spacious and very well presented and kitted out. Every necessary utensil was available and working. The setting - and large verandah - is delightful and location convenient. We would stay in Fantail Cottage again.

David Moller

Great, affordable retreat. Kids loved the bountiful wildlife, rainforest walks, and friendly atmosphere.

Patrick O’Neill

Beautiful spot and peaceful location. Would stay there again.

Shelley Andresen

A perfect cottage for a cosy weekend away. So many nice little touches like chess sets of all sizes, a blackboard for the kids and a great selection of DVDs. There were also great views of the rainforest. Thanks for a great stay!

Emily Lynam

Gavin SCHROTER

Great location, really well appointed house. We would recommend it to a single, couple, family or a group of friends.

Great location with an easy walk to the cafes, restaurant and forest walk. Very clean, well appointed and comfortable.

Ellice Bressau

Our kids really enjoyed staying in the loft, it was very charming cottage.

Judy Brown

Absolutely loved your cottage, we have stayed at a few others but this was the best so far

Karen Barnett

This was our 2nd stay in this little cottage. This time we noticed the shutter blinds have a few broken behind the egg chair when we arrived. Loved sitting in this chair so relaxing. Beds again are very comfortable. The kitchen taps were a bit annoying as they are very hard to turn on and off very tight and the tap had a drip. Some of the saucepans don’t have lids and there is a steamer pot that doesn’t fit any saucepan. Also the pantry where the plates are kept had an awful smell of maybe Kerosene or something similar. So didn’t want to put any of our food in there. Really enjoyed the bath tub. And the shower is awesome. We had lots of birds visit and also a bandicoot at night. We will be back to this magical place next year again we have been visiting almost every year since 1990. Staff are always very pleasant.

Deirdre Thomson

Fabulous short stay, cottage had everything and more - including a bread maker! Next time we'll bring ingredients to make bread. Will definitely book for our next mountain getaway.

Fantastic home, loved every minute of our 3 night stay, loved the wallabies and the beautiful birds, we even got to see 2 dingo’s and whilst on one of our walks we came across a beautiful red belly black snake sunning it’s self. Will definitely recommend fantail cottage to our friends.

Carissa Beddows

Awesome little place

Timothy & Jenny Gibbings

Lovely location, very relaxing and quiet and the weather was so much cooler than down in Brisbane. The foggy mornings were great for laying in bed or a cuppa on the landing.

Claire Masters

We had a fantastic week at bunya and loved our stay at fantail cottage. It was perfect for our family of 5. The kids loved watching the wallabies and birds who would come and visit us at mealtimes. It was the perfect place to relax, read, play games and of course explore the walking tracks. We have told many friends and family about the peace and quiet of bunya and the coziness of fantail cottage.

Tony Hsieh

Really enjoy our time in the mountains. Great walk in the bushes.

Beatrice Airs

Lovely comfortable house, with a nice modern feel. Very well appointed and well-stocked. We stayed a week and enjoyed birds coming to the verandah for birdseed (we had six cockatoos at one time!), wallabies lounging on the lawn, lighting a fire, relaxing in the big bath and sleeping in the comfortable beds.

Massis Torosian

We had a lovely time as always.

Judith Ann Murtagh

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Fantail Cottage. The cottage was well presented and immediately we opened the front door we felt all our tensions leave us. We would be happy to stay at Fantail Cottage again.

Fantail Cottage was a beautiful place to stay. Everything you would possibly need was there for your use and of course Bunya Mountains itself is a beautiful, relaxing place to unwind. A place that I would return to for another relaxing break.

Kylie Doolan

Fantail Cottage is gorgeous! Our family had the most relaxing time. The cottage had everything we needed and our children loved the games in the loft. The Bunya Mountains is a wonderful place to unwind and spend time enjoying each other’s company and fantail cottage was the perfect ‘life size doll’s house’ to unwind and recharge in ❤️ We will be back!

Raelene Staggs

Excellent quiet peaceful Clean and tidy

Dominic Robertson

Everything was excellent, the water pressure is not great.

The property was clean and well set up. Only issue for Fantail Cottage was the smoke alarm went off for no reason. It may have some kind of operational glitch.

Brad Rogers

What a wonderful fantastic cottage. Absolutely everything you need is there. Lots of birds and wallabies. All the areas in Bunya are beautifully maintained and a credit to the people who live and work there. Our Canadian friends were very impressed and said they would remember our few days there forever. 1st class. Could not fault one thing . Superb!!!! 11/10

Eli Miller

We (2 Adults, 2 Children under 3yrs) spent 7 days at this wonderful cottage. We loved every moment in the tranquil surrounds. The highlights were the numerous hikes through the Bunya Mountains and the colourful birds that can be spotted along the track.

Natalie Lohse

We visit the Bunya Mountains regularly. Fantail cottage proved to be one of.our favourite stays so far. The accommodation was well presented, clean, warm and homely. Nothing has been overlooked and all the comforts of home has made this stay one of our favourites to date.
