Very lovely and kind people, awesome spot and Eiji's passion and knowledge of the Stars is just excellent and the food divine. We will be back at the correct lunar cycle now we know.

What a beautiful little place. Naomi and her husband are lovely and accomodating. The rooms have books about stars. Absolutely wonderful place to stay for anyone who likes star gazing. Short easy drive to Giraween too.

Lovely little B&B only a quick drive from Girrawean. Exceptionally clean. Delicious home-cooked meals. Entertaining night sky tour. Would definitely recommend this place.

Heavenly! Very so lucky as the sky was very clear. Thoroughly enjoyed my stay here because I am into stars! The talk by Eiji on stargazing was excellent. I learnt so much. It was fantastic to see the stars and galaxies using the telescope. My favourite was the jewellery box star cluster. Amazing! I think we had so many questions that Eiji patiently answered. I was definitely rugged up as it was a cool night. The food was very nice too. We had the Japanese set meal -minshuku.. The accommodation was very clean and reception excellent. I will definitely pop in again as I wouldn’t mind seeing some

My 2nd weekend here and again I thoroughly enjoyed the peace and quiet, the clean rooms and especially the sky tour in their observatory star gazing. I have spent hours photographing the milky way, nebula, star clusters and surrounding national parks.

We had a wonderful stay at Twinstar guesthouse with Naomi and Eiji being great hosts Totally enjoyed the whole experience. The room was spotless and everything was extremely well organized. The dinner was delicious. Eiji opened up the night sky for us in the observatory which was an amazing bonus. .Exceptional value and we look forward to coming back in winter so we can see Saturn and Jupiter.

Happened to come across this gem. Very clean room of good standard. If you like to look at the stars through a telescope with a host that knows a lot about them then you must visit. Wonderful.

This is our second time staying here so I am probably biased! This place is run very well, super clean and has beautiful grounds. The best part is the star gazing for free (weather permitting) at night! Naomi and Eiji are the best hosts in the world and make your stay super pleasant. Wineries, cheese factories and so much more all with 30 mins.

My partner and I stayed here overnight after working all day at the Apple and Grape Festival in Stanthorpe. We were lucky to book this last minute due to a mix up with our original booking with another BnB. Lovely owner, waited up for us to get in (at almost 9pm). Very cosy room, neat and tidy, breakfast was in room ready for us for the next morning and was only $5 each (cereal, toast, juice) this saved us getting up earlier and going out to find food. Very affordable bar fridge products. Very good price. Very spacious with walk in robe, air con, all kitchen products (toaster, kettle, microwave

Found this place on our way from Sydney to Woodford. This guesthouse could be a destination in itself. The dinner provided in our room was fantastic, especially when paired with a glass of local red wine. Afterwards Eiji showed us the stars in his observatory, I've never seen such a view. All the better that it was a random find on Xmas day where there were no other food or accommodation options to be had. Also, its a seriously eco place with no disposable plastic used anywhere and a bucket for capturing water . It's the little things!
