Listing highlights
Dive right in
This is one of the few places in the area with a pool.
Self check-in
Check yourself in with the key safe.
Unbeatable location
100% of guests in the past year gave this location a 5-star rating.
Even though Wah Cottage is neatly 100 years old, it has been fully renovated so that it retains its country charm while still delivering creature comforts.
Decorated with a nod to the french farmhouse aesthetic, the light filled rooms feature french cream walls and plantation shutters and farmhouse kitchen. The place is filled with original artworks, found objects and loved pieces.
We love to stay at this cottage between our travels - so welcome to our home away from home.
The space
The cottage and the outdoor areas are yours to use when you stay with us. That includes the pool and pool deck and the Pavilion with outdoor kitchen and toilet/ shower room adjacent to that Pavillon. There is a meditation deck out by the small dam and a boules court in the bottom corner of the property.
The only thing that we ask you not to use is the golf cart or the ride on mower during your stay with us.
There is secondary accomodation at the back of the block - unless you have booked this for your party of guests - this is not to be accessed.
Please remember that we are on tank water here...there is no mains water so be mindful about your water usage.
Guest access
Explore the whole two hectares. Turn on the festival lights at night if you wish to soak in the atmosphere in the Meadow area. Play a game of boules on the boules court at the far end of the property. However, please always pack up the boules kit and bring it back to the cottage with you should you use it.
There are herbs and vegetables growing around the property (depending on the seasons) so feel free to harvest them for your cooking or consumption while staying with us.
There is plenty of ambient or mood lighting at night throughout the property...so lighting of candles outside is prohibited.
As are open fires in the fire pit in the Meadow. This geographic area has a high fire danger rating and has a history of bush fires so lighting of fires without prior discussion and approval will mean immediate removal from the property.
Other things to note
Please always keep the front gates to the property closed as you exit and enter the driveway.
Please enjoy the wildlife but don’t approach or attempt to pet the kangaroos as they can be unpredictable and we don’t want you to be ‘in their way’
The place is kept mowed and maintained to create the park like atmosphere and different vistas, but always be vigilant for snakes and cane toads. Having said that the green frogs are harmless represent a happy, healthy space and the frill neck lizards are our friends!
The next door neighbour’s cows often come down to graze in the paddock next to the front yard, and while they are a joy to watch, please don’t feed them.
Guests are asked not the have parties at the property as it is offered on Airbnb as a place for rest and relaxation.

From the host
We are just 1.5 kilometres from a Brisbane Valley Rail Trail crossing. The Esk to Toogoolawah section of the trail crosses Morden Road (the road the property is on) on the bitumen section.
Walking or riding from that crossing to the township of Toogoolawah is a very pleasant 5 kilometre journey. That’s where you’ll find a fully stocked IGA, pharmacy, 3 pubs, an old fashioned movie theatre. On weekends visit Picnic Society in the Main Street - Cressbrook Street - for amazing coffee, hand baked Danish pastries, their famous scrambled eggs with truffle oil and confetti mushrooms.,
Toogoolawah has a population of 1,400 permanent residents. The ‘season’ for bike riders and walkers is from April to November so that’s when the population increases.

My work: Non Executive Company Director, Nationally Accredited Mediator and Accommodation Portfolio Founder
Lives in Toogoolawah, Australia
After years as a corporate CEO, I bought a delightful country property in the South east Queensland region and found my way back to nature!
I then turned my attention to creating an Airbnb property portfolio, and in doing so substantially upgraded, refurbished and listed a number of my properties in Brisbane and in the Somerset region in the Brisbane Valley, Australia.
I really enjoy being a host to the diverse and interesting clientele that Airbnb attracts.
I love entertaining, growing my own vegetables, travelling the world. Along the way I try to be as kind a human being as I can.
