Valley view

Soak up the view during your stay.
Tucked away in the countryside, this cottage is an invitation to slow down.
Thoughtfully styled with natural textures, the space is calm, grounded and intentionally simple. Every corner is designed to feel lived-in, not rushed.

Mornings begin with soft light, a warm cup in hand and nothing on the agenda.
Spend your days wandering, reading or doing very little at all.
Evenings are for long dinners, relaxing by the fire and stargazing.

The space
Set on a peaceful property with sweeping sunset views, this private two-bedroom cottage is ideal for couples, wedding guests, or those seeking a quiet escape surrounded by nature.

The home features a queen bedroom and a flexible second bedroom that can be configured as either a king or two singles (please advise your preference before arrival) along with a full kitchen, coffee machine, fridge, washing machine and clothes steamer for added convenience.

Perfect for weddings, our home is just a 3-minute drive (1.9km) from Preston Manor and only 4 minutes (2.9km) from the stunning Preston Peak Winery, with Gabbinbar Homestead and other premier Toowoomba venues all reachable within 15 mins.

Guests can enjoy the outdoor firepit, deck dining area, frequent visits from kangaroos and kookaburras, reliable high-speed WiFi (80+ Mbps), and a drive-through undercover carport.

Guest access
Guests have full access to the cottage and the surrounding outdoor areas immediately around it, including the firepit and deck dining space. Please note that all fenced areas and land extending toward the shed are private and not accessible during your stay.

Caravans and additional accommodation setups are not permitted on the property to maintain the peaceful environment.

Other things to note
If the opportunity presents, I'd love to welcome you into the studio during your stay at the cottage. It's a beautiful way to slow down, get creative and experience a little piece of country life beyond the accommodation itself.

I offer relaxed, private pottery sessions as a complete introduction to clay, creating an experience that pairs perfectly with a quiet getaway. This can also be tailored to your personal needs and any event that you are celebrating.

For an introduction to clay, you can choose between:

• 2-hour session - $95 per person, hand building only.
• 3-hour session - $120 per person, one pinch pot and 2 hours of learning the wheel.

Everything is included: clay, glazing and kiln firing, and I take care of all the finishing work after your session.

You're welcome to bring along a few drinks and some snacks to enjoy while you create. Each guest can keep up to two finished pieces. Once your pottery is ready, you're welcome to collect it or I can arrange postage for a small additional cost.

If you'd like to join a session during your stay, simply send me a message through Airbnb and I'll do my best to find a time that works for you.

Neighbourhood highlights

Set in the rolling countryside just outside Toowoomba, this area is known for its peaceful landscapes, open skies, and quietly beautiful rural charm.

One of the most special aspects of the location is its proximity to two of the region’s most sought-after wedding venues, Preston Manor and Preston Peak Winery & Function Centre, both located along the same road. Whether you’re attending a wedding, planning a special event, or simply exploring, these venues are known for their breathtaking views, refined country atmosphere, and unforgettable celebrations set amongst the Darling Downs landscape.

For those wanting to immerse themselves in the countryside, there are local horse riding experiences nearby, including Splendacrest Stables, where you can enjoy relaxed trail rides or lessons suitable for all experience levels, a beautiful way to take in the surrounding landscape.

The area itself is quiet and spacious, offering a true sense of escape while still being only a short drive from Toowoomba’s cafés, gardens, and conveniences. It’s the perfect balance of seclusion and accessibility, ideal for wedding stays, weekend getaways, or simply slowing down to enjoy the beauty of the region.

Born in the 90s
My work: Government
I've always been drawn to slow, intentional living and creating spaces that feel warm, welcoming and connected. Alongside hosting, I run a pottery studio on the property where I create handmade ceramics and offer private pottery classes for guests. This cottage has been designed as a peaceful retreat; somewhere to pause, reconnect and enjoy life's slower moments. Every detail has been chosen with comfort and warmth in mind, creating a space where you can truly settle in and unwind.
