Love the Bunyas! We have stayed at quite a few properties, and Firetail has been our least favourite. The house is somewhat rundown. The verandah has wood decorative pieces hanging off it, and it needs a good deep clean. It had a funky smell - a mixture of sweat, urine and stale smoke. The house is on stilts and has limited insulation under the floor so when it is windy, the cold air comes up through the floor and the fireplace/split system can't keep up, so the house is quite cold in wintertime.
Anthony Burnett
Was a wonderful stay . The property had everything we needed and more
Dean Strathdee
Weather was amazing for this time of the year. Our accommodation had a beautiful view , situated in a nice spot of the mountains.
Marion Crowther
Great view. Comfortable beds. Good sized deck and outdoor tables.

Great house with the perfect deck for entertaining.
Helen Anderson
Absolutely loved the Bunya Mountains and Firetail. Great position. Beautiful, fully equipped, renovated kitchen. Verandahs on 3 sides ensured sunshine and fabulous views. Birds ate out of our hands on the back deck. Firetail was like a home away from home!
Amanda Garbutt
Firetail was amazing! The view was spectacular, hand-feeding the absolutely gorgeous birds was a highlight for our children, the house was well stocked with all the kitchen essentials. Having a reverse cycle air conditioner, oil heater and fireplace was wonderful as it was freezing when we stayed. Suggest taking nice warm clothes if going in July as there weren't enough warm blankets for the beds. Everything was clean and tidy and the firewood was well stocked and accessible. The weekend was a surprise for a family member's 70th birthday celebration and was truly memorable. Thank you!
Carlia Blunt
Fabulous house! Beautiful views and excellent cooking facilities. Very warm with the fire on + nice and cozy. Would definitely stay here again, very good value. Couch guestbook was a fun idea, I left some sketches :)

Loved the view, especially the sunrises. House was very comfortable and felt like home for teh time we were there. The fireplace was very welcome. Bed was comforable. Enjoyed having the crimson rosellas and king parrots come for a feed most afternoons, but not so much the bush turkey:(
Jeffrey Huby
Comfortable, clean and well equipped home.
Paul Jenner
Lovely.quiet.peaceful.views to last in memory bank for ever
Karin Miller
Great place and really well equipped kitchen. Lots of personal touches too, books, games, toys and more. Would stay here again.
John O’Brien
Very pleasant stay in very well fitted out home. Loved the wide covered decks and interaction with wildlife. Would have been nice to have had covered car port. Also needs mat at rear door to wipe wet feet on entry from rear deck.
Marion Lawler
The view was the reason we chose this property - and it was the perfect choice for us.

I have been coming to the Bunya Mountains since I was 7 years old. This past weekend I went up there to celebrate my 28th birthday! We really love it here and the house was beautiful. We will be back :)
Lauren Crickmore
Absolutely beautiful. The views were incredible and my boys loved feeding the rosellas. Kitchen had everything we needed and the layout was perfect.
Melissa Denham
Bunya is the perfect relaxation spot!! So relaxing with the fire place, views and gorgeous rainforest walks.
Jonathan Waite
This is the first time here and it was great. Great views, large living and dining areas. Only one bathroom so might be tight with a large family but perfect for a couple. I went in mid summer and still could have lit the fire on at least one night, but I’ll be back! Great time on my own.
Marita Keyser
We had a relaxing stay but would have appreciated covered parking for our car.
Janet Munn
Girlfriend and I had a lovely three night stay at Firetail. It was very well equipped with everything one would need . Clean and comfortable beds. The fire place with plenty of wood was excellent. The Tavern and Poppies had excellent food and service could not fault them. Looking forward to returning soon.

Nice and comfortable, house was clean on arrival very well equipped, it was good to have hand rails in toilet and shower had my 88year old mother with me. Had a portacot would be a good idea to advertise it.Good amount of books and some toys 🧸 for the kids. Views were amazing nice quiet spot .Enjoyed our stay, would stay there again.
Sarah Bryant
Very well equipped with everything we needed.incredible views. Good layout inside. Lots of birds visiting. The basket of kids toys was helpful with my niece , who was staying in a house down the road but visited us. We did appreciate the electric blankets.
Robyn Jeffery
Love, love, love Bunya Mountains. Very relaxing. Enjoyed feeding the birds, walking through the rainforest. House was cozy and the fire was great. A very pleasant stay.
Crystal Ross
Nice views. The birds were a highlight when feeding.
Carol Milne
Firetail was very comfortable and met our needs for our group of 5 during our stay. We added to our Bunya experience by enjoying the walk from Firetail down to the forest walks.
TAMEREA FRITZ
I enjoyed the stay. We got to eat at both Cafes, had dinner at the Tavern, saw the fireflys, and tracked thru the short trails. I relaxed, I enjoyed the birds, and had a wonderful time. The house was clean, tidy, enough of everything you needed, and what they did not supply they were very clear about.
Barbara Jouvernaux
We enjoyed our stay, the views are spectacular. A very quiet spot with plenty of wildlife. The house was clean and had a very well equipped kitchen, with extras like oil, condiments, tea, sugar, etc in the pantry. The house did have a dank odour, especially the back bedrooms. I presume this is from being shut up with curtains closed much of the time. Some ventilation and air freshener would definitely help. But overall a lovely place with plenty of room for a family.
Mike Ford
This is the second year running that we have been at Firetail for a long weekend in the Bunyas, and carried out a number of Bird Surveys. It was as usual a lovely weekend, and those of the Group who stayed in Firetail were very comfortable. There are a couple of very minor matters that need attention, one being a loose toilet roll holder that I understand had fallen off the wall, but one of the Group has told me that he has refixed it, but that might only be a temporary measure. There is also a leaky window in one of the rooms, but other than that all good.
Allan Black
Beautiful views. Wonderful and spacious deck for shade/sun on 3 sides and for outdoor eating. Quite cool on a very hot day. Bed reasonably comfortable. Comfortable lounges. Good facilities. We would stay there in the future. Ceiling fans would be useful to ease the need for air-conditioning.
Brian Johns
A great place to stay, beautiful views down to Tarong power station, out to the darling downs, and the rainforest looking over to the tv aerials. Bird life at the house was great, feed king parrots, crimson rosella, sulphur crested cockatoos, white headed pigeon, plus the beautiful little firetail finches. Also had a very friendly Kookaburra, who liked steak off cuts, & liked to be patted. This house had beautiful very modern kitchen, with stone bench tops. We have been coming to the Bunyas for 30 years, but the 1st time in this house. Would recommend it anyone who wants a very relaxing time away from the hustle and bustle of city & coast life.
Trish Logan
Great views from decks on 3 sides & we loved hand feeding the birds. Comfortable lounge & bedding. One downside was no ceiling fans & lounge aircon not working & we were there over a hot Christmas
Lorraine Poth
We booked 3 nights at Firetail and had to stay just one more night! The house is situated near the end of the Estate on the range overlooking the valley on one side and the bush on the other side. The house was very well appointed with thoughtful inclusions like USB sockets and extra leads and power boards. (There never seems to be enough) The bed was very comfortable and there was nothing that we thought was left out for our comfort. TV and phone reception were fantastic. We had a lovely variety of birds visiting each day on the back verandah. From little Blue Wrens, Firetails, Cockatoos, King Parrots, Rosellas, Kookaburras, Bower birds, Currawongs, Crows and even Bush Turkeys. It is a great house to get away from it all and do nothing, or have some good walks amongst the Estate. It was fun to visit there during Bunya nut season too. We like to visit in every season and summer has it's very own appeal.
Mark Goves
Lovely views and all that you need for a comfortable stay. Unfortunately the house could do with a decent clean and a bit of maintenance.
Neil Shearer
Jody Kellin
Firetail was a great place to stay. We'll definitely be coming back. The house is really well supplied with everything our family could have needed during our stay. All modern appliances and the kitchen was fantastic.
Megan Twidle
Firetail is a lovely cosy cottage with amazing views from inside & outside on the wrap around decks. Magnificent night sky views and birds will visit morning & evening.
Neville and Joanne WILSON
Beautiful views
Nicole Constable
Stunning view! So peaceful and relaxing with daily visits from the birdlike for us to feed (and turkeys and wallaby's etc.). The house was comfortable and had everything we needed. The staff as poppies cafe were so welcoming and were always happy to have a chat or answer our questions.

Great house with fantastic views. Loved sitting on the veranda watching the wallabies.

Great place for a totally relaxing carefree break. Could not fault it. Birdlife fantastic and local cafes provide excellent food. Lots of bush walks for all. We will make this a regular break from now on.

Beautiful place for a break from a busy life.
Velma Warricker
The house were very clean and well presented. Everything that we needed was available. Will definitely rent Firetail in future. Gorgeous views! Loved eating at Poppies!
Paul and Robin Lawrence
Excellent location with panoramic views. Terrific well-signed walking tracks. All staff encountered were welcoming, friendly & helpful. Abundant wildlife among spectacular ancient giants. Myriad of vegetation to catch visitors' attention. The National Parks Service does a superb job maintaining tracks with numerous signs to inform visitors of factual information. Daily visits from the local birds was an added experience that was truly memorable & such a delight. Tremendous weather. Take all the provisions you need as the general store offers the very basics. Cook & partake of dishes while taking in the priceless views. Firetail - clean; well equipped kitchen; appreciated the dishwasher as few houses appear to have one; great use of outdoor deck spaces; more than adequate doonas & blankets; fully functional air con appreciated; lots of firewood on hand; ... Highly recommend.
Veronica Smith
A very comfortable house with a great deck & all facilities for a very pleasant stay. Beautiful views!!
Brett Mason
Beautiful sweeping views of the surrounding hills. Firetail is a great house and is fully set up with everything you need during your stay. The kitchen has all the utensils and cooking things you're likely to need. Lovely decks and everything in great condition. You don't even have to leave to enjoy the wildlife - wallabies, parrots and cockatoos pop in to see you. Highly recommended.
Neal Warner
Our stay at Firetail in February 2020 was short but enjoyable. The house is well appointed and comfortably laid out. There are good views toward Tarong and across the valleys.
Graeme Schuller
4 - 7 Oct 19 This is a nice open house with good verandahs. The wildlife is certainly abundant. A good house during the warmer weather as it catches lots of breezes.
Rebecca Jones
Beautiful views! Beautiful birds!
Marita Nousala
A wonderful relaxing place to spend with family. Fantastic views, sweeping veranda around the house which allowed my 4 year old to play and scoot, toys provided and a library for my bookworm dad. 😆 A home away from home. Thank you for treasured memories. Will be back
Terry Williams
Thoroughly enjoy our visit to the Bunya Mountains as we always do. The accommodation (Firetail) was great.
Rowan Bruce
Best view on the mountains. Kitchen was fantastic.
Mark Ferguson
Thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend staying in Firetail. Only suggestions would be bedside tables, and perhaps having the inside woodbox stocked for people that may arrive after dark.
Fiona Stark
The accommodation was lovely but the service at the Tourist Office was less than efficient with a mistake on my email address for receipt and the incorrect charge on the deposit where we were told $100 over the listed price. The house and amenities were excellent and the views beautiful. There just needs to be more clarification on the charges for cleaning etc.
