Great choice

This is a great place to stay if you’re looking for a peaceful time in the country. This had everything we wanted — comfortable bed, good shower, a fully equipped outdoor, mosquito proof, kitchen and dining room. Teena was lovely and very welcoming. My husband and I very highly recommend this place.

Country get away

Loved our little romantic get away, magical that we could bring our little foxy who loved the whole experience. Feeding the animals was an added bonus. A little secluded slice of heaven not far from Brisbane.

Great tranquil spot

This is our second visit and it won’t be our last. The converted barn is snug and cosy and has everything you could possibly need for a few days away from your normal mad life. We did little but cook great food on the barby and enjoy a good red or two. Took a walk up towards the mountain and that did now thing but confirm what a beautiful place it is. oh and our dog loved it too.

This was our second stay at Yalbaroo and we had been anticipating it for months. From the time we turned off the car, we felt right at home. The peace we feel there is unlike anything we’ve found anywhere else. Already planning next trip.

Peaceful & Unique Getaway

Yalbaroo is a converted horse stable accommodation for two with comfortable quality furnishings and a full compliment of all the facilities you could desire. It's a self-sufficient retreat perched in a beautiful valley surrounded by wildlife and foothills with your own personal firepit and BBQ. Hosts are available but leave you in peace as if you own the place!

Excellent. The converted barn was comfortable and well stocked with everything you could think of. The gazebo area with the fire pit was great for goofing and toasting marshmallows. You even get to feed the chooks. We will be back.

Property was lovely and the hosts were great. Great farm stay experience. Dogs had a great time swimming in the river. Restful and refreshed though through no fault of their own are at the mercy of noisy neighbours. Which depending on how full their camp site is can cause problems.

Country Cham at its best !

A charming place to spend a few days away. The property itself is picturesque and with its adorable miniature horses , alpacas and fowl to visit it made it extra nice to walk around. You could adventure over the creek and up around the sloping hills to take in the view and see the cattle grazing. We stayed in the accommodation made up by the old stables which is perfect for couples, it was presented beautifully and was very cosy ,not to mention squeaky clean and stocked with everything you could need for kids , adults, fur babies , you also had your own garden area to relax in . The host’s are warm and friendly and are happy to help with any requests you may have, which just goes to show that they really take everything into consideration to make sure you have a wonderful relaxing stay . all I have left to say is Well done , you nailed it!

Gorgeous all round.

Our time here went by too fast! The barn is well appointed, nothing amiss, even down to dog bowls, leads and toys for pup! The outdoor kitchen was where we spent most of our time when indoors, otherwise going for walks to the nearby creek and exploring the wide open spaces of the property filled us with joy. Feeding the animals was delightful! My puppy was welcome on the property and fully enjoyed the space,. Check in and check out were easy and no hassle! Easy communication with Teena and once there, everyone was lovely and welcoming! Yalbaroo truly is remarkable. Hoping to be able to come visit this charming property again one day soon.

About the host

Hosted by Teena Sapwell

COVID definitely changed lots of things for many people. Our way of living, life as we know it, schooling and for many the way we earned an income.

Even before the pandemic hit, my family and extended family had been discussing a tree change and exploring a different looking future that saw us cohabiting on much more land, where life was more simple and we pooled resources and shared expenses to give us all the space and lifestyle we craved. Where we could take care of each other and maximise quality family time. Our mission would be creating places and experiences for others to come and enjoy some downtime and good clean country air. A place for others to escape to but for us it would be home.

Although we are luckier than most in that we have kept our jobs and maintained good health, through periods of lock down, home schooling and working from home we were able to confirm what we had been thinking. We do appreciate the simple things, we do love time together as a family and life can be taken just as quickly as it arrived so we must seize opportunities when we can. If we were ever going to bring to fruition our master plan, there was no better time or incentive to start the wheels turning than now.

We stumbled across Yalbaroo in April 2021 and instantly fell in love. It had all we had dreamed of. Rustic charm, rolling hills, a bubbling creek, open spaces for us all to enjoy, area for our camping site dream, part of a beautiful country community and established already - a gorgeous retreat, designed beautifully and ready to accept our first guests.

Rustic but charming - all the modern essentials. Private and away from our campground and residential area but by all means, guests are welcome to chat with us, meet our animals and explore our property as much as they like.
Nestled next to the creek to cool off, bring your horse if you like and keep him / her in the stable next to you. Your furbaby (dog) is welcome too.
Picnic spots and BBQ areas.
Perfect place to base yourself and explore the Scenic Rim or just stay on the farm and do nothing but chill!
