Twisted Gum Cottage is the perfect place to spend the weekend when you are visiting the Granite Belt - Queensland's premier wine region. This friendly 1920's farm cottage is located in the centre of our vineyard. It has a beautiful outlook, a toasty wood fire, three generous bedrooms and much more.

I like to: Stroll through the vineyard - we have 3 hectares of hand-tended vineyard which is divided up into small blocks - see if you can identify the Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Black Muscat, Chardonnay, Semillon and Verdelho vines. Explore the rugged bushland that covers much of our 40 hectare property - admire the stunning granite rocks, delicate wildflowers and the impressive orange-barked twisted gum trees - and experience the amazing bird life. Talk a short stroll to the Twisted Gum Wines cellar door (in a beautiful 1920's Queenslander) at the front of our property and taste some of our award winning wines. Visit some of the 40 wineries which surround us here in the Granite Belt, Queenlsand's premier wine district. Enjoy a relaxing lunch in the Hidden Creek Cafe (2 minutes walk) or take a short drive to picturesque Ballandean Village where you can find quality pub meals at Ballandean Tavern or dine in style in Shiraz Restaurant or Vineyard Cottages Restaurant. Sip a glass of Granite Belt wine on the deck and enjoy the view over vineyards and bushland. Or just curl up with a good book in front of the toasty wood fire.

The Granite Belt is a fabulous region to explore wine, food and natural beauty.
