    can't think of anything

    Shelley + Doug were terrific hosts - perfect balance of attentiveness and friendliness and privacy. The Country Inn was so inviting, relaxing and comfortable, cozy fireplaces, pool room, games magazines. We dined in the restaurant for the most delicious and generous servings of smoked brisket and vegies and our breakfasts (included) were delicious.

    Breakfast was simply amazing, dinner is a set menu and was superb. Hotel management are helpful, cheerful where nothing is a problem. So quiet and peaceful, don’t worry about the distance to Stanthorpe it’s actually an asset

    Fabulous hosts. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with Shelley and Doug. Excellent breakfast menu and nice place to also taste a few local wines. Girraween lodge is only a short drive off the highway well worth the visit.

    There was nothing to dislike.

    This is an ideal place to stay if you are exploring the Girraween National Park and the nearby town of Stanthorpe and the surrounding agricultural areas; it is set in natural bushland with plenty of granite in situ. Our hosts, Shelley and Doug (together with their wonderful, short-haired Border Collie, Schnitzel) looked after us superbly - the included breakfasts were delicious and we thoroughly enjoyed the evening meals.

    Nothing to complain about

    Shelley & Doug were amazing hosts, seem to be managing everything on their own. Food was fantastic. 24x7 snacks on the house was very handy too. Can’t say enough about the wonderful Schnitzel, he was an amazing guide. He was there by our side when we went up to the lookout spot within the property when it was getting dark. Overall a wonderful experience.

    The welcoming nature of the staff and their friendliness (Doug and Shelley ) made you feel at home; the tour guide Schnitzel was always happy to see you and come over to see how you are going. The recommendations from the staff to explore areas should be taken up - as we enjoyed going to the locations which were not on our original list. The meals were delicious; the breakfast options were plenty, in particular the muffins and muesli cereals and standard hot breakfast was my favourite. The facilities were warm with the wood heaters and plenty of areas to rest and relax, and socialise with other guests if you wish. Overall a great Country Inn to stay while you explore the Granite Belt.

    The only downside it’s the meals there are expensive and no ala carte options. Quite expensive to pay $99 per person for 3 course meals . So for a couple it’s very expensive and not including drinks. If there is ala carte option , then it’s good. You can have 1 course but for 1 course main meal at $50 is very expensive for any main meals . But of course you don’t have to eat there. There are lots of places to eat.

    Breakfast is a bonus to be included with the stay. Great food. Great place for couple wanting to get away from it all. For those that has pet and want to see the boulder and can’t go to National Park, Girraween Country in have their own land to explore the boulder. Very close to all the nice wineries. The host Shelley and Doug are very friendly . Definitely will be returning.

    Lovely country inn style hotel in Girraween Country Park, exceptionally welcoming hosts. Lovely clean room with a four poster bed. The breakfast was great but the meal in the evening was fantastic, they even have a small but great wine selection. We didn't but we understand its a great place to start walking trips and it's a great setting but not near anyone (that's a bonus to us but might not be your cup of tea). If you're travelling up from Sydney to Brisbane or visiting the wine region, we recommend finding this place as a stopover or better still a base for a few days.
