At Cranley Garden Retreat with Fireplace & Pool, guests consistently praise the peaceful semi-rural setting, friendly hosts, and family-friendly touches, highlighting clean, well-appointed cottages, lovely gardens with animals, and relaxing outdoor areas including a pool, veranda, and fire features.
Several find it conveniently placed for Toowoomba while still feeling secluded, with appreciated extras like kitchen staples, access to the veg garden and eggs, and space that suits longer stays. Minor drawbacks include the lack of a full oven and light shower pressure, and one check-in hiccup that was promptly resolved. Expect a relaxed countryside getaway with thoughtful touches.

We will be back, the kids loved it. We did not leave the property all weekend, as the kids wanted to be with the animals and play on the trampoline.

From the first impression at checkin, to the end of the stay, our expectations and needs were met and exceeded. The beautiful meandering garden pathways that lead between the cottage, veggie gardens, animals, lawn, BBQ/fire pit area and pool are simply magical. The cottage itself immaculately clean and well appointed. The hosts incredibly friendly and helpful, all the while giving all the privacy one might need. We loved the cottage and the animals, the generous access to the veggie garden and chickens eggs, the view in every direction and proximity to town. Our stay was perfect. Sincerely, a happy Mom and two busy young children.

I booked the Cranley as a retreat space for my study (I’m writing up my PhD!) and it was the perfect spot! I really enjoyed the peace and quiet, the wonderful bird life and being able to use the pool - it was like my own little resort!

This house was absolutely stunning from the entry way all the way through to the garden's, pool, inside and out of the property. The verandah boasts a beautiful view of the area. It was very peaceful and relaxing. My 8 month old loved to watch the goats and the chickens, he also has his first swim ever in the pool. I experienced outstanding communication with the host and definitely intend to stay again.

The place was very clean and has a lovely homey feel - there were tim tams and milk in the fridge on arrival ready for us to have a cup of tea, and toys and storybooks on the shelf which our son loved :) We all enjoyed exploring the gardens and property, patting the guinea pigs, watching the chooks and goats, picking mulberries off the tree and swimming in the pool! A perfect little getaway! Thank you! We will definitely be back :)

Lovely property, it was a great escape from the big smoke, nice and quiet. I enjoyed meeting the goats, resident guinea pig and chooks,also roaming through the vege patch. Log burner was nice of an evening.

The place was perfect for what we needed. We had a 12 year old with us so all the animals were a major draw card. the owner also provides lots of staples from use in the kitchen and allows you to gather eggs from the chickens and vegies from their vegie garden. The fire place was also a big drawcard. The pool was very inviting as well but the weather is just a bit too cold in July to warrant a dip. I would definitely stay here again. Things to be aware of - there is not a proper oven so don't plan on cooking any big roasts or anything like that. They do have a plug in glass cooker that acts like an oven though. The water pressure in the shower is a little light on.

Cranley Garden Retreat would suit a small family or a couple. The cottage itself is very private and has a spacious living area with fireplace, raked timber ceilings with feature beams and a polished timber floor. A highlight is the outdoor area with pool, flower and vegetable gardens and chickens, ducks and goats which give it a country feel. It would suit a short or longer stay.

We really enjoyed our getaway to Heather’s lovely holiday home. Everything was clean & ready; it was easy to access, and accurate as per listing. The fire was wonderful and we enjoyed having our own space out of town, yet we were still close enough to all the locations we needed to get to. The hosts are very welcoming and we would highly recommended staying here. (2 adults and 2 teens) Thank you!

We absolutely loved our time at Cranley. The animals were a special part of the trip for us, as we all love animals. Our daughter spent so much time with the goats and chickens, and in the pool, too. We had many friendly visits from Lily the dog. The owners were lovely and friendly, and made the trip extra relaxing for us. Definitely made the right decision, and will be staying there again next time we head down that way. No complaints at all, exceeded our expectations in every way.

We absolutely loved our time at Cranley. The animals were a special part of the trip for us, as we all love animals. Our daughter spent so much time with the goats and chickens, and in the pool, too. We had many friendly visits from Lily the dog. The owners were lovely and friendly, and made the trip extra relaxing for us. Definitely made the right decision, and will be staying there again next time we head down that way. No complaints at all, exceeded our expectations in every way.

The place was perfect for what we needed. We had a 12 year old with us so all the animals were a major draw card. the owner also provides lots of staples from use in the kitchen and allows you to gather eggs from the chickens and vegies from their vegie garden. The fire place was also a big drawcard. The pool was very inviting as well but the weather is just a bit too cold in July to warrant a dip. I would definitely stay here again. Things to be aware of - there is not a proper oven so don't plan on cooking any big roasts or anything like that. They do have a plug in glass cooker that acts like an oven though. The water pressure in the shower is a little light on.

Cranley Garden Retreat would suit a small family or a couple. The cottage itself is very private and has a spacious living area with fireplace, raked timber ceilings with feature beams and a polished timber floor. A highlight is the outdoor area with pool, flower and vegetable gardens and chickens, ducks and goats which give it a country feel. It would suit a short or longer stay.

This would have to be one of the best holidays my children and I have had - beautiful location, accessibility, 'homely' items, treat left for us, animals, pool, veggie garden, cottage garden, open space, privacy, friendly and helpful hosts... need I say more! Thank you Heather and Rod - we'll be back!

Our host was very welcoming, she even left TimTams in the fridge for us. The cottage is very comfortable, clean and airy with loads of natural light. I appreciated that there were a lot of little extras to make our stay comfortable, such as extra towels for the pool and a well-stocked pantry. We will be staying again, Thank you
