We stayed for two nights in the Bottle Brush Cottage and had a wonderful time. The cottage was clean, tidy, and comfortable, with everything we needed. Our children especially loved meeting and spending time with the animals, which made the stay extra special. Farmer Matt was absolutely fantasticβso welcoming, friendly, and great with the kids. We really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this farm stay experience

We’ve been to Clandula cottages three times now. Every time has been absolutely wonderful and memorable. The facilities are top notch. Matt and Nambok are amazing hosts, warm and welcoming and always happy to answer any questions we have. Farmer Matt ensures all guests have a fun, memorable experience with the animal tours and feeds. If you’re looking for a place that is truly healing and brings joy to the heart, I highly recommend you go here!

What wonderful experience we enjoyed with our grandchildren, lots of activities, very interactive experiences with the many animals that are conducted in a very safe and friendly manner by Farmer Matt. He is a gem! Stayed in proximity with 4 other families that created a play friendly opportunity for our crew and the fire pit with marshmallows was a hit on those starry nights. Loads of fun and you will not be disappointed! Also if it does get hot the Canungra pool was minutes away and a great place to cool off.

Our family had an incredible 4 days. Farmer Matt gives so much time and passion to giving all the kids time feeding the animals, and having done a few farm stays over the years, none have been as good as this. We will be back! The location in the scenic rim also made it super easy to go do activities during the way.

Stayed here recently and had such a wonderful, authentic experience. The property is beautifully maintained and so peaceful. Farmer Matt was fantastic, taking us around to meet all the animals β such a highlight! We stayed in the Hibiscus House, which was spotless, well-kept, and had everything we needed. It was such a relaxing and memorable stay. Canβt wait to come back again. Highly recommend!

” As soon as you pulled up at the gate and were greeted by Farmer Matt, it was clear this was no ordinary farmstay”.
“I don’t think we’ve ever stayed anywhere that has so much heart…. The kids declared it the best holiday we’ve ever had..”

My children loved the whole experience especially the newly added goat area. The accommodation and hospitality were wonderful. We even had a surprise visit from Herbie, Roger and Murray in the evening which made it even more special for us. Thank you Farmer Matt and his wife for the stellar experience once again.Posted on Google Teresa LoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our family had a great time staying in the farm with kids having a good time interaction & feeding with the animals. A nice view waking up with the mountain & animals view. 2 small towns nearby for easy food access.Posted on Google Carolyn JacksonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Cannot recommend highly enough. Iβve always taken my girls on farmstays and this was our first year at Clandulla, and hopefully will be an annual stay. A great little escape, close to Brisbane but far enough away to feel country, a great homely little set up in the cottages, but the highlight is the amazing animals and hosts. While Mattβs terrible dad jokes take a little while to get used to ;) itβs forgiven by the wonderful knowledge shared and the time spent with the beautiful animals. What stands out most is how much Matt and Nambok love their animals and how loved the animals feel. The animals are calm and comfortable and trust their owners so much to let the guests so up close and personal. Do your self a favour and get there!Posted on Google Lewis LowTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We are a family of 4, including 2 kids under 12. We travelled in winter. Matt and Nambok have done a great work at this place. They love the animals and take great care of everything on the farm. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.Posted on Google AndreasTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A little bit of a late review, but I really wanted to say a huge thanks to Matt & Nambok for our family stay in late April. It was our second time staying here at the Hibiscus House, and this time to celebrate my motherβs 100th. Matt & Nambok made special provisions to help mum and dad get around to enjoy the farm animals. The cottage is beautifully decked out and has everything youβd need for multiple night stays. Matt & Nambok went out of their way to make the stay memorable. Thank you both.Posted on Google G CTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Cannot recommend Clandulla Cottages enough. Matt and Nambok made the stay so much better too with Matt's feeding of the animals and all the names and puns he has for each animal just shows how much they care for the animals. Everyone needs to stay here asapPosted on Google Nadia FollTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was our first farmstay and it exceeded all expectations. Hibiscus house was very clean, private, had beautiful views from all windows and is spacious. My daughter loved the upstairs loft . There were so many considered & special things that made our birthday weekend extra special, which we really appreciated. It is evident the animals are truly loved and cared for and treated like family . The daily farm tours were interactive & the highlight for all of us. Amazing place owned by amazing people. We will definitely be going back. Highly recommend.Posted on Google Wei Fatt LeeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was planning a trip to Gold Coast and wanted to pair it with a farm stay to have a 'retreat' with my family, away from the city. And I sure was lucky to have found and decided on Clandula Cottage and Farmstay. Our cottage was the Hibiscus and it was a lovely cottage with almost all the amenities required for a comfortable stay. The cooking facilities and heating were complete and comfortable. Maybe what was I like additional was to have some laundry facilities around the farm. The daily morning farm and animals feeding tours were a major highlight that we enjoyed alot and is highly recommended. You get to feed chickens, peacocks, goats, cows, horses. You get to try and feed the pigs (e.g. Tofu) over competing chickens. You can walk a pony and collect eggs. My 3 year old son absolute loves the experience, the animals - Toby, Roger and Abbot, and adores Uncle Matt that he keeps crying for them after we left for Gold Coast. Would had like to stay longer if I could. Highly recommended.Posted on Google Zing HoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This farm stay exceeded all our expectations! The cottages are incredibly cozy and clean, the amenities are great (air fryer, kettle, microwave in-unit) and itβs clear the animals are well cared for and genuinely happy. Farmer Matt and Nambok are absolutely wonderful hosts. They made our very first farm stay an unforgettable 5-star experience. Highly recommend!Posted on Google Helen TallackTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Best farm stay ever!!! Farmer Matt is truly amazing with the animals and children, and the adults too!! Fabulous interactions with so many animals while feeding them twice a day are an absolute highlight and Matt makes sure everyone feels included and part of the process. Farmers Matt and Nambok are warm and friendly and go above and beyond to make sure everyone enjoys their stay. Nothing is too much trouble for them. Quiet peaceful surroundings, lots of space on the property for families to play and explore as well as clean, cozy, well equipped cottages - the perfect country escape!! Love everything about this farm stay experience!!
