Family-friendly vacation rentals in Darling Downs

Ron & Annette, Your Airbnb is such a credit to you both. Everything anyone could possibly want and much much more. All the extra touches were so lovely, not to mention everything was super spotless and comfortable. The personalised message, with no-one left out, just topped everything off. Located in a quiet location, yet close enough for anyone to head into town or the shops. We will definitely book again in the future. Thank you both.

Definitivamente nosso lugar em Brisbane. Bernie e Linda são excelentes anfitriões. O lugar é tranquilo, perto de bons restaurantes, shopping e estações de trem e ônibus. O apartamento tem tudo o que a gente precisa. Nos sentimos em casa e muito bem recebidos. Obrigado Bernie e Linda.

Had a wonderful stay at Jacaranda Cottage. Our host Atalanta was friendly and responsive. The cottage was cosy, comfy with great amenities. Will come back again.

Great place to stay! Amazing river views. communication was key and parking was a deal through the host.

The most special place we’ve ever stayed. This made our trip, after 1 month of traveling, we never felt more at home, grounded and inspired. We will be back for much longer, for the wildlife, the insects, plants, stream, beautiful home with the best deck overlooking the rainforest and for the newfound friendship we have with Brad & Cicilia. They are some of the most genuine, warm hearted, adventurous and kind people we’ve ever met and we really didn’t want to leave. Till next time!

Lovely relaxing stay over New Years at Calanthe Retreat. Home was clean with plenty of supplies. Enjoyed unwinding in the hot tub under a blanket of stars each evening. Hope to return again soon!

Casita de Bosque is a lovely open plan cottage, being one of three owned by Rodolfo and Maria, all privately located in separate areas on a large rural block with interesting features and short private walks. The property includes a vineyard and they make nice wine. I recommend the tampranillo! Delicious. Rodolfo and Maria were very welcoming and great hosts. We had some nice chats, and they provided excellent recommendations, including an appointment-only winery tour at Savina, which was lovely. Our cottage was well appointed with plenty of amenities and nice little touches. A pot belly stove, air conditioning, radiator and electric blankets ensure you can be warm and cosy, or open the place up and use the large deck in summer. The bed, bedding and furniture are very comfortable If you want to disconnect, relax and unwind, this is the right spot. Thank you Rodolfo and Maria.

A great place to relax and enjoy the vista.

Great property in a beautiful location. Very peaceful and quiet yet within a 10 minute drive of Maleny. I whole heartedly agree with the many positive comments that have been left by others who have stayed at the property in recent months. The property is well maintained, fixtures and fittings are of good quality and everything was clean and tidy upon our arrival. Lots of little extras (such as the ground coffee in the kitchen and the library of books) go to make this an exceptional stay. Highly recommended and we would not hesitate to book again in the future.

We had a lovely time staying in Kelvin Falls Cottage. We had everything we needed and more. It is comfortable, rustic and relaxing. We loved looking out over the land and watching the cows grazing. Sunrises and sunsets were equally beautiful. Rowena and Andrew decorated the cottage beautifully. The furnishings and bedding are beautiful. We loved all the thoughtful extras like the beautiful vase of dahlias, lovely scented bathroom products, pretty cups and variety of teas. The kitchen was well supplied and the fridge was large enough to hold all our supplies. During our stay we explored Stanthorpe and Warwick. We highly recommend exploring Donnelly’s Castle. Thank you for such an enjoyable stay.

Wat een parel van een plek en huis. Zoveel natuur en rust. Koeien die over de heuvels lopen, kaketoe’s (zwart en wit), lorikeet, honeyeaters, kookaburra’s, koala en een frogmouth owl in de bomen om het huis. We hebben enorm genoten en komen zeker een keer terug. Verhuurder is zeer vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Bedankt voor een fijn verblijf!

I had a wonderful stay at Angela’s beautiful home! The space was spotless, well-equipped with everything you could possibly need, and had such a welcoming feel. Angela was an excellent host — her communication was clear, friendly, and she was very responsive to any questions I had. I would absolutely recommend her home to anyone looking for a comfortable and hassle-free stay. Thank you, Angela!

We so enjoyed our week at this very very comfortable cottage on Balmoral ridge. Sitting on the deck with wonderful views of the beautiful hinterland countryside a highlight, even in the rain! The cottage has great beds and linen, really clean throughout and a stylish bathroom with super towels. A very well appointed kitchen - with a fabulous coffee machine. Big tv, comfortable sofa etc.. all round an excellent stay. Also a big thank you for letting us bring our beloved four legged friend , we were respectful and grateful he could be with us, We look forward to returning !

Beautiful house to stay in and so good to have the lodge beside so all the family could stay together.

Great location. Handy to so much! House was very well equipped.

I stayed here with my wife and 2 children and it was perfect for the family. Everything you need within walking distance and a very peaceful little town The house was perfect for us.

Absolutely stunning property. Everything was perfect we had a great break there. Our pup loved the place, she played tennis, love meeting Mixie. Great hosts

Nice place. We loved it. Very clean house. Conveniently located. Nice host

We loved staying in Cait’s Airbnb. It’s super walkable to the cbd, but still nicely private and tucked away. Cait was also an incredible host, very friendly and helpful - especially with check-in! Was the perfect base for us while we were in Brisbane.

We loved this place, right on the border and felt right at home (even if it had Maroons merchandise plastered everywhere 😂) Easy to access, great pool table and comfortable and clean. Up the blues!

How is this a real place! Absolutely beautiful as soon as you hit the gate. Stayed here for a wedding at Crows Nest and all of us agreed we would stay here again. I put up a few photos on my socials and had several people ask where we were staying, it looked that enticing! Thank you Julie for opening up your beautiful home.

We had a wonderful stay. Nice decor, comfortable bed and enjoyed the magnesium pool set in a beautiful garden. We also enjoyed the home made marmalade and mulberry jam and honey treats. Nice hosts were most friendly.

Our stay was incredible! It was a cozy spot to get together with friends. The pictures don’t do the size of the rooms or pool justice!

‘Cranley’ is a lovely lifestyle block on the Northern edge of Toowoomba. The rustic accommodation was spacious and very comfortable, with a wide terrace overlooking a large in ground pool - a great spot to relax. The place is ideally suited for a family, with a selection of toys, books, and games for all ages - plus DVDs. However, it’s equally a relaxing retreat for couples. Surrounded by beautiful gardens and with a small menagerie of animals to pet and feed, it definitely delighted the grandchildren when they came to visit. We look forward to our next time there
