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!!

Perfect for our school holiday

We stayed for a short weekend with the kids. Nicely presented, clean and very private location. Close to wineries and driving distance to town. Very nice hosts and overall great stay.

The pictures (even though lovely) don’t do the farmhouse justice, it’s such a beautiful space we didn’t want to leave. Juanita & Steve were friendly and accommodating hosts. We felt very welcome on the farm even when we were exploring beyond the farmhouse. It was cozy on freezing winter nights. Stunning location, far enough off the main roads that you felt away from it all but still very close to Ballandean, wineries and Girraween. A great place for your granite belt adventure. We are missing those farm fresh eggs and Rexy the dog...hope to return soon! Thank you!

We had a great time here. The kids enjoyed wandering down to the creek. The house was very clean with everything we needed. The fire was great for keeping us warm! Thanks heaps.

We had such a lovely long weekend staying at Fairbanks and enjoyed both the farm and the surrounding area. The farm was beautiful and so close to Girraween National Park and many wineries. The house was so clean, neat, warm, beautiful and well presented, and had such history and charm. The kids loved seeing the animals and it was great to experience the extra cold weather over the weekend! We would definitely love to come back sometime.

We loved our stay at Fairbanks - our hosts were wonderful and the peace and quiet was relaxing and rejuvenating. We would very much enjoy a return visit.

Such a wonderful location providing amazing views any time of day. The peace and quite allows you to relax in the country setting. It is also nice and local to many wineries and sites in the Granite Belt. We try and make this a regular each year!

We loved everything about our stay - great facilities; well equipped home;warm comfy beds; cosy fire; great visits to wineries and national parks.

Had a lovely time, can't fault anything. Excellent!

We loved our stay! The house was huge and even nicer than in the photos. The fire in the living room and the gas heater kept the house warm despite it being a freezing weekend in ballandean! The house is in a great spot - located on a cattle property at the end of the road after driving past a number of wineries, and we saw kangaroos and deer every day. Juanita was lovely and very attentive - making sure there was enough firewood because it was so cold!

This was such a wonderful experience for us. A group of us stayed here for a music event held nearby and the owners were very accommodating and helpful from the time we initially enquired. A wonderful period home with modern amenities, it is a bit out of town so you will need to be stocked for provisions but to look at the clear sky at night and enjoy the serenity is well worth the drive.

Fairbanks is a wonderful house & we thoroughly enjoyed our weekend stay! (I did not want to leave). 3 great sized bedrooms with lovely, comfy beds. 2 bathrooms inside + outdoor loo. It's a large, sprawling farmhouse and there's plenty of room to spread out and take in the ambience and fresh country air. A local wine tour company picked us up for a day trip and then dropped us home which was brilliant. We cooked meals in the well equipped kitchen. We relaxed with our wine purchases in front of a crackling log fire. Juanita was a perfect host. We will definitely be back!

plenty of room to move and it was lovely to relax in front of the fire. The beds were very comfortable as well.
