Lovely country break
We had a wonderful stay at Fairbanks Guesthouse. Juanita had the fire going when we arrived, and the house was welcoming and cosy and contained everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The location is peaceful and scenic, with easy access to everything the region has to offer. It is the perfect place to spend time relaxing with family or friends, and Juanita and Steve are great hosts. We really appreciated their hospitality and loved our stay.

The Best Little Guesthouse in Ballandean
We truly enjoyed our stay at Fairbanks Guesthouse. The only thing that could have made it better was if we had stayed longer. Juanita and Steve are fabulous hosts! Juanita let us know that the creek had gone over the crossing to the property but that they would be there to greet us and help us if needed. Turned out that our SUV was high enough, so they showed us the way across instead. The home is cozy and filled with everything you need for your stay. Waking to the birds was just what we needed on our long weekend away from Brisbane. Lots of information was on hand on how to spend the daylight hours in the Granite Belt. In the evenings, we cooked our dinner in the kitchen that had everything at hand. Lots of laughs around the kitchen table were had before we moved to the cozy livingroom with the fire roaring. With so much to explore in the region, we are already looking at the calendar for our next stay. Thank you Juanita and Steve for such a lovely weekend away!!
