Staying longer? Then Discover the Magic of the South Burnett

The Bunya Mountains form the south western edge of the South Burnett. And many guests who stay with us for several days like to get out and explore it. Why not? Historic Nanango and Kingaroy - the Peanut Capital of Australia - are both only a short drive away!

The South Burnett was once a sleepy rural area. But since the early 1990s it's grown to become one of the largest wine regions in the state. It's also home to two of Queensland's best inland waterways: Lake Boondooma and the Bjelke-Petersen Dam.

Nanango - the 4th oldest town in Queensland - is only a short drive east of the Bunya Mountains via Maidenwell. And Kingaroy is an equally short drive north-east of the Mountains via Kumbia.

Other parts of the region - such as Yarraman and Blackbutt to the south of Nanango; or Wondai, Murgon, Goomeri and Kilkivan to the north of Kingaroy - are little more than an hour's drive away too.
