ALL ABOUT THE STRAW HOUSE FARM
THE STRAW HOUSE FARM is a unique style of accommodation 12 minutes from Stanthorpe. The cottages are made of straw bales and stucco making them both warm in winter, cool in summer and insulated from the outside world. You can either stay in a cottage, our roomier studio cottage or our luxury Tiny House (now located on a similar property just 2 minutes away). The Straw House Farm BNB is set on 20 acres which you are welcome to explore. Take a walk around the farm, take a bottle of wine, a cheese platter and something to sizzle to the fire pit or on the BBQ and make a night of it. There is lots of room to roam and to relax. Kids and dogs are very welcome at the Straw House and undercover parking is available. You can also fish in the dam where there are lots of big ones to catch and release. BYO rods.
Cottages have a queen size bed and a fold down sofa bed great for an adult or little kids. The bedding is Sheridan, the tea selection is T2, and your own Nespresso machine awaits. More details on accommodation types below.
Make a new best friend with one of our beautiful ALPACA boys Pablo, Edwardo, Diego, Nigel, Cotton and Calico, Poppy and baby Snook. Cuteness overload warning. You are welcome to help out or just hang out with them during your stay. We have many gorgeous goats (the ones that don’t eat plants or washing !!). Some of their names are Pippin, Fancy Pants, Screaming Sally, and Mable. The teenagers, Saturday and Sunday Rose could not be sweeter and love to be scratched, brushed, and cuddled. The little guys Julietta, Joseph, Toby, Tommy & Taluullah are super cute, super friendly and a laugh a minute.
We are just a few minutes from not only some of the region’s best wineries, but also a stones throw from the Maze, the Christmas Farm, Stanthorpe Cheese and Sutton’s Juice Factory, apple pies like no other. A must is a visit to one of the regions national parks Girraween, Bald Rock and Sundowner, or fish, paddle or swim in Quart Pot Creek, a stunning spot to visit, picnic or walk.

NOT SURE WHEN TO VISIT?
ANY TIME OF THE YEAR IS A GREAT TIME TO VISIT.
Stanthorpe is the “coolest” place in Queensland, winters are cold but the days are usually spectacular. Autumn and Spring are chilly at night usually with sunny bright days. The Summers are
warm but with really low humidity and cool nights. It’s not uncommon to put the heating on and sip a little something around an outdoor fire while wearing longs and some woollies in the summer.
As a guide the daytime temps are on average about 7 degrees lower than Brisbane and the coasts and the nights are up to 12 degrees cooler. The humidity is sooooo much lower which makes for a fresh cool start to every day.
This is not your average country town. Come and let us show you why.
