Octagon

Barbara Marshall

Great cottage, very well fitted out with everything that we needed. Handy to Tavern, general store & Poppies cafe. Unfortunately due to wet weather we were unable to do any walking but enjoyed our peaceful stay.

Elspeth Lee

Lovely - it was a really nice spot and the house was comfortable

Donna Collins

Lovely place so close to all amenities.

Celeste Barker

Octagon was perfect for our needs, warm and cozy, sunny outside, and close to cafe and bistro…plus a comfortable bed!

Wyverne Smith

Great place to stay. Well set up, comfortable. Handy to facilities.

Lara Keller

Karin Behrens

We had a pleasant stay at the property and found it very comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped and the air-conditioning and fire place kept us nice and warm. The house is located close to everything and we enjoyed the walks in the forest and the bistro, the café and the Sunday markets.

Catherine White

We loved the house and our stay. The house had everything we needed and more. Well set up. Clean. Close to amenities. The house was clean with some fresh flowers and fire going when we arrived. We enjoyed walks and bird watching - a family of satin bower birds in the garden. We enjoyed just hanging out in front of fire. A lovely week end.

Lucy Betts

Warm and comfortable family home. Everything you need, including books, toys, washing machine. Really lovely, we will be back.

Val Mitchell

Bunya Mountains is a beautiful place for some rest and recreation, the crimson rosellas and king parrots are just beautiful. There was also many wallabies and scrub turkeys, to be seen happily feeding around the mountain. We stayed in Octagon, it was very comfortable, it had every thing in it that you could want, we really enjoyed our time, we will be back again.

Samuel Wilson

Nice and quiet little house to call home for a few days.

Mitchell Page

My husband, daughter and I had a fantastic stay. The only issue that I had with the stay was that there was a power outage that we were not made aware of when checking in. Luckily, Janey at the shop told me of the outage the day before it took place. Thank you, and, we hope to book again at the Octagon

Very happy with our stay at Octagon, it was clean, light and comfortable. Nice, easy walk to have a cuppa and a meal at Poppies or the tavern. Thanks also to the staff at the accomodation centre who have been amazing when I have travelled to the Bunyas.

Karin Behrens

It a lovely place to rejuvenate and do some bush walking in a magnificent environment.

Rick Woodyatt

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Octagon in the Bunya Mountains. We are walkers, so enjoyed proximity to the wonderful walking trails, not to mention cafe facilities of the village. We found Octagon itself most comfortable and well appointed, and well priced.

Jane Corbett

We loved our stay at Octagon. This cottage was very close to the restaurant and cafe ie only a 5 min walk. It is quiet and cosy.

Once again my husband and I enjoyed a relaxing and peaceful time at the Bunyas. It has a way of helping one to relax and get back to nature with the birds, wallabies etc. Can recommend the Bunyas for a lovely stay to everyone. Thank you again and the house Octagon was a real surprise inside, neat and clean and everything you needed. thank you.

PETER MCMAHON

The lodge was very comfortable - a bit disappointing that you have to make the bed and there is no complimentary tea/coffee/sugar provided. I also feel that it is a bit steep that the $200 bond is held for 6 days after departure. We had a lovely dinner at the restaurant but although it was open all day for dining on the Friday - when we went in for a late lunch the only option was deep fried fish or a salad, again a bit disappointing - should be better communication for guests regarding options give that there are no other option, the cafe closes at 3.30.

Leann Po-Ching

Wonderful and homey ! Everything you need for a great stay . Thank you

Leann Poching

Wonderful and homey ! Everything you need for a great stay . Thank you

Gwen Brown

Comfortable, had everything we needed. One bedside lamp was not working.feel it will soon need to be up date

Diane Strating

We enjoyed our stay there. The weather was very hot so s as appreciated the air conditioning. There was a strong smell of stale smoke inside even though there were smoke alarms. We’re not smokers so the smell was off putting. Everything was provided so we appreciated that. The clock on the wall and the TV remote both needed new batteries.

David Coulson

Loved the stay, my daughter and I wished we lived there, better where we are living in a shed, we will stay again thank you

Dale Fehlhaber

We really enjoyed our time at the Bunya Mountains the octagon house was great for the two of us

Sam S

Lovely cottage a short walk from the cafe's. Perfect for a small family looking for a quiet few days in peace.

Adele Bowie

A lovely spacious, warm cottage with all the amenities. Surrounded by wildlife. Close to the hub of the Bunyas but far enough away to enjoy the tranquillity.

Kylie Brockhurst

The Octogon was a quaint little place. We stayed for 2 nights and honestly had the worst nights sleep we've ever had. The mattress on the main bed, really needs to be replaced as well as the sheets. A bit of TLC and this place would be really great to stay at.

Alexey Potanin

The house has all the basics and plenty of wood for the fireplace. It was very helpful during the cold winter nights. It is perfectly located, close to the main tracks, cafes and the office.

Richard Ennis

We chose to stay at the Octagon, because last time we stayed outside the Bunya Mountains and drove up each day. The Octagon is a lovely small house very suited to us as a senior couple, but also has a second bedroom with 2 bunks for families. It is equipped with a cosy fire heater for Winter, yet we chose to use the reverse cycle aircon instead to save emissions. Outside there is lots of wildlife - birds and tame wallabies. The Octagon is handy to the village, Tavern, cafe and general store. The walking trails were our main interest. The prettiest walking trails start from the village. A new mountain bike trail system is available nearby and includes its own robust walking trail. Sunset and sunrises should not be missed at the lookouts. We would stay in the Octagon or similar again as we discovered that it is better and safer to stay in the Bunya village itself than drive up the steep climb each day from Bell or another town on the plains. Bring your handheld UHF if you get lost as mobile and WiFi is patchy.

My family and I enjoyed staying at the Octagon. This small but fully equipped cabin is great for small families or couples wishing to spend quality time in the beautiful Bunya Mountains. We will be back for sure!

John Koffal

The Octagon had everything we required for our stay at the Bunyas. Good position.

Nicole Wattz

Carmen Brown

The accommodation was clean and comfortable, it had everything we needed and was within walking distance to the cafe and walking trails. It was a very relaxing stay. The ladies in the office were very helpful when I rang to make the booking. Thank you.

Gabrielle Cuddihy

Enjoyed stay. Nice home.

Glen Harry

Our 2nd time staying at the Octagon house. Great little cabin close to everything at Bunya.

Chris Ellis

Great place to hike and relax. The grounds are well looked after and it is very quiet. The Octagon house could do with some TLC but had everything you need for a few days away.

M Rossetto

Octagon is in a very handy location. Shame that the two big water tanks are in front because the shape is quite pretty.

Rishi Vohra

Great service Excellent staff Place clean and tidy

Christopher Jackson

Good, comfortable accommodation.

Sue Harth

Loved our few days there. Spacious rooms & well equipped kitchen. Loved waking up to birdsong & quiet landscape. Seeing wallabies in the yard, a treat

Janet Cunningham

Octagon is a very basic, no frills 2 bedroom cottage. Do not eclectic toiletries, tea or coffee or early and pepper. One air-conditioner does all 5 rooms. The outdoor seating area is the front porch which is big enough for 3 chairs. The second bedroom has no ventilation if the door is closed. It is overpriced at $190/night on December 22.

Merryl Farmer

This is a reasonable place for the price. Has everything you need.

Alana S

Lovely house and location. One of the closest houses to the walking tracks. Excellent air con. Really hard beds though which made our hips and shoulders ache despite us only being in our 20s

Joy Dougherty

A comfy, cosy cottage with everything you need in the kitchen (and in the kitchen drawers). Has an interesting visitors book.

Paula Lake

The cottage was comfortable and very conveniently located near to shops, coffee and walking trails.

Allan SUTTON

The Octagon was round to be clean and offered the added benefit of not having to negotiate a locked gate each time entering or leaving the house. Everything you need is provided. A very cosy cottage.

Bryan Worn

Very well located near walking tracks and coffee shop. Spacious living room with plenty of furniture. Kitchen was well equipped with cutlery and utensils. Maybe some bigger red wine glasses would be nice. It is not screened but I am not sure if that is a problem in summer. I would stay there again.

Lana Whiteside

We had such a lovely and relaxing time. Accommodation was warm and welcoming. Loved sitting around the fire and spending times with friends. Can’t wait to book again.

Alan King

House was clean and comfortable well located. Only difficulty was that we could not get the DVD to play

Andrew Evans

In a word Wonderful!! The house was ideal for the 4 of us, two couples on a long weekend. There was a queen bed in one room and a double bed/bunk bed in the other. The fire place was amazing and the firewood abundant, it warmed the whole area. The coldest day we had was 1 degree and the fire was excellent!!! You certainly don't need to bring any crockery and cutlery etc, as there is a mountain of it!! The cottage is walking distance to all the eateries and the store, where you can buy reasonably priced alcohol as well. We had dinner at one of the bistros there and we could walk to and from there, so it didn't matter if we had a couple of drinks. I thoroughly recommend this cottage as a great place to stay!!

Julie Hansen

We loved our stay in the Octagon house, and would definitely choose this place again for a return visit. The house was very spacious for two people (it has a second bedroom with a double/bunk bed, and plenty of room for a family with a few kids). It's right in the centre of the village, an easy stroll from the local shops and some lovely walks. Wallabies and crimson rosellas on the lawn. Gorgeous! The house is very well-equipped. Everything a small family would need for a longer stay. We expected the weather, and possibly the house, to be cold (early August), but the combustion stove is super-efficient (better than ours at home) and the house was warm and snug. Plenty of firewood provided. A lovely, warm, quiet, convenient and comfortable place to stay!

JANET KNUCKEY

A very comfortable place to stay.

Geoff Bauer

Enjoyed the stay in the Octagon. Just the right size and very functional for a two night stay. Appreciated the provision of fire wood to keep warm. Plan to be back when all walking tracks are open and will stay in the Octagon again.

Veronica Meyer

Lovely Fully equipped Wonderful stay

Barry Siebenhausen

Accommodation was perfect for us . Only thing that I would like is a central playground as trying to keep grandchildren happy was a task.

Peter McCauley

We enjoyed staying here and found it very comfortable. Thank you.

Maria Storch

A fabulous house in an excellent location. The place was spotless, well outfitted and very comfortable. Thank you

Sheona beach

We had a lovely time. Great value for money.

simon Beach

Loved the Bunya Mts and the wild life. Great time - property was basic but we expected that, it met our needs perfectly and it was clean.

Karen Burns

Had a wonderful relaxing weekend in the fully self contained cottage. It was cosy and the wildlife was abundant. Would definitely stay again.

Karen Drinkwater

Was a lovely stay. Will be back

Kylie Drpper

A comfortable, clean house with basic gear. Fire place was a bonus - room to sleep 5 but more ideal for 4 people. Limited view but close to start of walks.

Helen Atkinson

Thoroughly enjoyed our few days at Bunya Mountains despite being very cold. House was very warm though & it was lovely to have a fire. Octagon was perfect for the three of us & very well appointed & great location being walking distance to shop & food outlets.

stefan Williams

Property was ideal for our short stay

Elizabeth Hurrell

Great location! Good facilities. Don’t forget to pack your own supplies like soap for the bathroom! Bring some kindling for the fire! Was a wonderful stay and would happily return.

Florence Teillet

Wendy Davies

We loved our stay at Octagon thank you. The only criticisms I have would be the mattresses need updating and I think it would be good to have screen doors on the front. We found that by dusk we had to close the front doors to keep mozzies out.

Greg Munt

Property was clean and adequate for our purpose but is needing a bit of TLC. I was surprised there was no teapot etc. We had a very enjoyable stay and found your staff & employees of the various businesses all very helpful and pleasant.

Robert Willmett

The property had all the things we needed. The kitchen is well appointed, the living area is spacious, and the beds are comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay. The only constructive comments I offer are: 1. Pavers which make up the patio at the front door are very loose and uneven and look to be coming apart. They are a potential trip hazard, and 2. Someone has put a sheet of newspaper in the skylight to the second bedroom. I assume it’s been done to darken the room a little. It just looks weird, not sure if anyone has raised this before. Regards Rob

Comfortable, clean & enjoyable cottage to stay in. We enjoyed the peace & quiet, and wildlife, and would certainly stay again.

Vicki Sawtell

Our first time in the Bunya mountains staying in a holiday home. We thought over all it was lovely there was everything we needed in a lovely location and we will be back for sure. I would say a few things however.... - 2 x kettles are absolutely disgustingly dirty and also didn't turn off when it was boiled so when distracted it boiled itself dry and made a mess all over the bench. This made me really upset as i had an infant who relied on the boiled water and even though its boiled it was disgraceful for the sake of a $10 replacement kettle. - The main bed has a huge dip in the right hand..obviously broken making a very un comfy sleep. - No screens on the windows - not a major but a breeze is still nice but bugs are not. Again over all was a great stay and good for price...we may try another holiday home in the future...but would return to Octagon :)

Audrey Brice

We enjoyed our stay at Octagon. The house was very clean, neat and had lots of books, games etc., to keep one busy. The only thing I found that was disappointing was that the front veranda was dirty and not very well maintained. As my husband and I are both in our seventies, and the path from our car to the door was not very safe. Otherwise, we enjoyed all the wallabies and the birds. We definitely will be back. Thanks to all the friendly staff all over.

Veronica Scanlan

Great location, comfortable home, great supply of board games. The wildlife loved visiting. Some attention could be given to rough surrounds of the Octagon. But we had a great stay with two delighted grandsons.
