The Vineyard Cottages & Cafe

Lovely stay at Vineyard Cottages.
Perfect spot to check out the area.
We did a wine tour organised by the hosts and it was such a great day.
The cottages themselves are very cosy and private.
There is a guest lounge to relax and enjoy a drink. The food is also amazing. Would 100% recommend a stay here. I cant wait to visit again.

Simon was the most incredible host and chef!
The cottages are so gorgeous and in the best location. The whole experience of staying at this property was top tier and I can’t wait to go back.
It’s the perfect little weekend getaway

Absolute gem of a place; hospitality done right. Beautiful property, great hosts, tasty options for food and excellent local recommendations. Best long weekend out of Brissy 👍

Had a lovely weekend away for a friends birthday at Vineyard Cottages. Could not recommend highly enough! Cottages are comfortable and well maintained, beautiful gardens, and the service is second to none! Simon and the team make you feel like old friends. Definitely worth a visit!

Obsessed with Vineyard Cottages! Simon is the most incredible host. I could not recommend staying here enough, the property is beautiful and the food is amazing! I would 100000% stay here again and again. Thank you again Simon, I can't wait to come back.

Absolutely outstanding hosts . Simon and Errol make this place a very memorable experience. The food in the restaurant was perfectly cooked and tasted amazing! We had a personalised wine tour by Simon which was also 5 star standard. We definitely want to come back again and highly recommend!

I would HIGHLY recommend a stay at Vineyard Cottages. They provide not only great accommodation, but a memorable experience. The cottages are lovely and surrounded by a beautiful garden. The owner Erol provided us with great tips about local wineries to visit. He even dropped us off to a local restaurant for dinner and picked us up, so we were able to enjoy our dinner and some local wine, without worrying about having to drive. After dinner, we sat by the fire in the Vineyard restaurant, and interacted with some of the other guests, Erol and Simon. We were also treated to a delicious breakfast

Absolutely loved our stay here and will be back. All the staff were amazing and helpful, such a cozy atmosphere with fireplace, bar and friendly people who love a chat. Big thumbs up!

We had two families booked
two Queen cotages, both cottages were very clean and had great privacy surrounded by beautiful gardens. The bar and the fireplace were also my favourite area. Simon and Errol were like old friends that we haven't see for a long time, we enjoyed they companies so much, thank you!

We have stayed here many times, Simon and Errol are fantastic hosts and their knowledge of the area is second to none. Do yourself a favour and don't look anywhere else for the wine tour as Simon definitely knows the better places to go.

Great hosts, the wine tour is a really great thing to do, and if you can talk Simon into cooking for you he’s pretty good. Just watch the hospitality otherwise it will be after midnight before you know it!!

Simon is an awesome host and the accommodation is quaint and cosy. So much to love about this place definitely will be back! Thanks Simon we had an awesome weekend and the wine tour was amazing 🙏

Stayed as part of a group of 14 for 3 nights. Simon, and his uncle, Errol, are fantastic hosts - nothing too much trouble, knowledgeable about the area, friendly, open and hospitable.
We had an amazing seafood dinner one night - absolutely superb, and one to repeat, next time we're up there.
The site is gorgeous, and after the year they've had, it does them credit. A few minor details here and there need attention, but they're working on it. Can't wait to go back.

Beautiful place and fantastic hosts, will definitely be back. Highly recommended if you are visiting the Granite belt.

Would recommend this place to anyone who likes a quiet place that is close to a lot of wineries,the hosts are very friendly and nothing is a bother the scenery is breathtaking rooms are very clean and very tastefully done

What a wonderful hidden gem in Ballandean!!! I would highly recommend this accommodation to anyone venturing out to Stanthorpe or Ballandean. Simon is a wonderful tour guide and I was blown away by what the area has to offer!!!!

A superb addition to the quality dining scene in the Ballandean/Granite Belt region. Newly branded as the 'Vineyard on Ballandean' the team are doing a brilliant job and the hospitality is spot on. The menu is perfectly succinct without trying too hard and the kitchen is producing great quality in well executed dishes. Our compliments to the chef and kitchen team. The wine list is equally balanced with excellent local choices and a smattering of imported interests, but why would you when the local offerings are so good. The added bonus of a shuttle from/to Stanthorpe is the cherry on the top. Top
