My family and I had a pleasant stay at the Gatekeeper’s Cabin. The bed was comfortable as was the indoor temperature. We had everything we needed as far as amenities, and our kids really, really loved being able to walk outside and pat cows and horses each day! The mountain views were awesome—a beautiful sight to wake up to!I think a new sofa bed for secondary guests (or kids) would be a fantastic addition, as well as a mirror and ironing board (considering the wedding destination that the Scenic Rim is), but these definitely were not dealbreakers! It was, overall, quite a comfy stay, and great value for money in this area. I’d definitely consider staying here again, if ever in Boonah.

No welcome information pack. No info on local attractions etc. We had to work out how to do things - TV, coffee etc ourselves. No sugar on hand for the coffee.Very basic at a premium price.We had a leak in the toilet pipes, which the host attended promptly.

Our stay was okay overall, however there were a couple of things that impacted the experience. There was no WiFi available. While it may not have been specifically listed, in this day and age it’s generally something guests expect, so it would be helpful to clearly state in the listing if there is no WiFi so expectations can be managed.Additionally, during our stay the farmer was separating calves from their mothers, and the distress calls were very audible and quite upsetting to experience. It created an uncomfortable atmosphere at times.I would suggest either informing guests in advance if this is scheduled to occur during their stay, or reconsider hosting guests on those particular days so visitors can make an informed choice.

The host was very welcoming and obliging and the property is in good condition and clean although it has become dated. Admittedly, the decor is in keeping with a farm stay. The property is very peaceful and the scenic countryside was very green after some good rain. There is a beautiful view of the scenic rim mountains which were quite spectacular when there was bright sunshine piercing through dark skies. Unfortunately there is a little or no mobile phone reception and no Internet but for some guest this would be an attraction. It is unfortunate how reliant we have become on an Internet connection for entertainment, especially when it comes to streaming movies and shows.

Super cute cabin, we enjoyed our farm stay at the gatekeeper’s cabin. Such a pretty setting, we loved watching the cows, feeding the horses and birds, and having a fire on chilly winter nights.

The cabin was adequate for a weekend stay with our very young granddaughter. We enjoyed the fireplace, and feeding the birds was a treat. There were a couple of newborn calves there too.Unfortunately we were unable to access the TV for local nor cable, the stereo/CD player also not working, even after a call to the owner.Zero toilet paper was supplied which we had to go back into town to purchase.These small issues spoilt an otherwise lovely stay.

Stay at Gatekeepers Cottage

We had a short stay that we thoroughly enjoyed. Nice to see the cattle and horses moving about. Plenty of lovely birds came in to visit. Very close to Boonah and local pub where the food was really nice and beer cold. Very peaceful setting, would highly recommend.

Delightful in Boonah

This is a delightful cottage just outside Boonah, in a beautiful farm setting with views of the surrounding hills and farms. The cottage is comfortable with everything you need for a weekend getaway or a longer stay.It is only a few minutes outside of Boonah and there are plenty of National Parks and sights to visit during your stay as well.
