Everything was very clean and the house was set up to be very inviting from the moment you walked in. The kitchen had everything needed for general cooking purposes. Games were supplied as was wood for the fire and the towels smelt amazing and were fluffy and white. We’d love to return. A second bathroom would be a great addition- but we know this is an expensive thing to change. At least there was a second toilet.

We loved our stay at Pepper Tree. Mary has thought of everything to make this beautiful property comfortable for guests and she is easily contactable if needed. Perfect location to explore the Girraween National Park and local vineyards. All within minutes of the property.

We had a fantastic stay! The home was exceptionally clean and beautifully presented, with a well stocked kitchen that made meal prep easy and enjoyable. It’s in a great location just a short, scenic drive to some amazing local wineries like Pyramid Road Wines and Balancing Heart Vineyard.Our favourite part was spending the evenings around the fireplace, playing games and sipping on the wines we’d picked up during the day.The bathroom was modern and spotless, with great water pressure and plenty of hot water. Beds were super comfortable we all slept really well.Mary was a breeze to communicate with, and the check-in process was seamless. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing, wine-filled escape!

Our yearly winter trip to Pepper Tree is something our family looks forwards to each year. The dogs were very happy running around in the large enclosed property and we always enjoy too many toasted marshmallows at the firepit. Thank you Mary for your warm welcome. Can't wait to come back again next year :)
