Home away from home. We stayed with our two spoilt Pomeranians, who were welcomed.A wonderful time in beautiful Childers, the accommodation reflected a friendly heritage town perfectly. Wanted for nothing.

Fantastic stay

Stayed overnight after visiting friends for lunch, rather than face a 3hr drive home in the evening. Decided a quaint stone cottage would be more pleasant than a motel. Very clean and comfortable, centrally located walking distance to town, undercover carport at the front ! Host kindly left chocolates and icy poles in the fridge ( huge hit with husband ) there were other basic condiments too Many thanks ! Will return.

Wonderful host

Karen was very helpful when our plans were disrupted by Cyclone Alfred. We appreciated the attention to detail that made this 'home away from home' for us, such as herbal teabags and cereals. Very conveniently located, walking distance to shops.

Awesome cottage and stay!

We loved our stay with Karen and Trevor! They had left so many special touches in the room (pet treats; ice creams; cereal; fruit) and really cared about our stay being great! Communication was amazing and so responsive. It’s open plan and a little trickier for a group but it worked well! We’d love to go back as just a couple sometime. Overall was a great experience and definitely a place we’d stay again!

Thank you for such a beautiful stay. Wonderfully friendly and helpful hosts, and lots of lovely little touches within the cottage to help us feel at home. Also a nice little seperated yard for my dogs to be play in a secure space. Would recommend and will stay again!

Beautiful Cottage!

We arrived late afternoon and were shown around the cottage. Our dogs immediately explored all the wonderful smells in the garden which was fully fenced and safe for them. Everything in the cottage was perfect! The bed was comfortable, lovely hot shower, comfortable lounge and sparkling clean. Our breakfast was fully catered with cereal and bread, milk, yogurt etc. We were very impressed. The owners were available next door if we needed to call on them for anything. Highly recommend.

About the host

Hosted by Karen

Host profile image
We migrated north in 2021 from the Sunshine Coast thinking we were moving to a small country town. We soon discovered Childers is a town full of fun genuine caring people that all look out for each other and love to have a good time. We thoroughly enjoy offering accomodation for travellers and their pets that is comfortable, clean and well appointed.

Why they chose this property

We chose Childers as our new home simply because we fell in love with the historical town and the Queenslander we bought
that was built in 1912! The stone cottage next door was an added bonus that we embraced and decided to offer as short stay accomodation. We have spent 2 years cleaning and tidying the properties whilst renovating our Queenslander.

What makes this property unique

The stone cottage is open plan with a mezzanine (dorm) level for extra guests. Fabulous undercover area runs around 3 sides of the building and a fully fenced garden area for pets to enjoy.
