Independent in Waughs Pocket from AU$118

"We recently stayed at the beautiful farmland on 2458 Topaz Rd, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, Lidiya, our host, welcomed us with the warmth of a glowing wood fire. She is truly lovely, kind, and incredibly welcoming—she made us feel as if we were arriving at our own home rather than an accommodation.The location itself is stunning, surrounded by beautiful geography and open views that instantly soothe the soul. We spent time exploring the entire farmland, enjoying peaceful sunrise moments, watching cows grazing across the fields, and taking in scenery that reminded me deeply of my own farmland back home. It felt familiar, comforting, and truly “in my blood.”We celebrated our baby’s second birthday during our stay, and the place made it extra special. With the decorations set up, we didn’t have to bring anything besides our food. Everything was clean, beautifully arranged, and thoughtfully prepared. Lidiya also shared stories about her farmland—how she built it and the journey behind it—which made the experience even more personal and meaningful.We also explored her amazing native garden, filled with diverse trees and plants. We were even able to take some native plants home to add to our own garden, which was such a lovely touch.Overall, our stay was relaxing, mesmerizing, and heartwarming. We absolutely look forward to visiting again in the future. Thank you, Lidiya, from the bottom of our hearts."

"A wonderful tropical environment with fabulous hosts"

"Right next to the beach. Staff were so friendly and helpful!! "

"Great "Queensland" architecture. Very comfortable spacious house. Glad there was an air conditioner in the bedroom and lots of fans! Good location to experience the nearby attractions; Mamu Skywalk, Paronella Park and Etty Bay beach. Great walks to Nandroya and Tchupala Falls. Very clean except for smudges on the walls in the kitchen. Lots of kitchen utensils, plates, cutlery, etc. Stayed only 3 nights, would like to have stayed longer! "

" Clean updated room. "

"Great stay, Warren was a lovely host and very helpful, great communication in the lead up to the booking."

"Hi Nisha, Everything was very good, the only thing I would change is the black bed cover, it was not very cheerful, and I did not like the feel of it. Apart from that , all good. I would not like my comments about the bed cover go to the review for other people to see, just want to keep it private between us. We might be back next year ! We would stay with you again. "
