Welcome to a unique Airbnb experience. Stay in one of our comfortable rooms in the 114 year old giant of a wooden church in the delightful town of Boonah. Close to a host of national parks, recreational dams, rock-climbing sites, wineries, cafes and hotels it is the perfect venue for active folk. Weddings are becoming popular in the area so use this as your base if you are on the guest list. The church is within walking distance of all the amenities Boonah has to offer. Enjoy the chance to soak up the ambience of this quality old wooden building with the ever changing light through the cathedral glass windows. You will have access to the whole upstairs section. Seating and table space is available in the open area and there is a small kitchenette area at the back with everything you need for breakfast and snacks. A microwave, electric frypan and induction cooktop enable you to cook if you so desire. There are two bedrooms available, a queen and a double which has a single as well. Both are at the front of the building and have unpainted timber walls and gothic-style coloured windows. Guests will have access to the whole of the upstairs where there is a kitchenette, the two bedrooms, a bathroom and a large open space with tables, seating and games. Wifi is available.

There are numerous games on hand including scrabble, cards, boardgames, ping pong, quoits and a couple of original games handcrafted by your host Angus. Plenty of books about including some interesting local information. There are books and toys for children also. If you get the desire to dress up and pose in front of the Old Boonah backdrop there is a rack of costumes. There are a few handmade retail items to browse along with some curated cast-offs. We also have a 180 acre bush property bordering Mt Barney National Park with a glorious creek, bush cabins and an outdoor kitchen that can be included in your visit. Please ask for more information. We are happy to interact or leave you to your own devices but we will always be there if needed. You will have the run of the top level of the beautiful old building. We will come and go but will be available if you require anything. We've travelled quite a bit and enjoy interacting wih folk from far and wide. A good conversation is always a bonus. Boonah is a delightful small country town just an hours drive from Brisbane. It has a plethora of cafes, a few restaurants, an art gallery, cultural centre, gym, outdoor shop, library, pubs, golf course and airport. It is the springboard for the astounding Scenic Rim with it's national parks, recreational dams, climbing sites, cycling, kayaking and gliding. Nearby there are wineries, a brewery, a camel farm, olive farms and antiques. There is a country market fortnightly which is a wonderful place to buy plants! Boonah also has 3 op shops! You will need your own transport to get here and to enjoy the area to the full be it car, motorbike or bicycle. I run a sewing/costume business from here so am often in the sweatshop downstairs. Angus is an artist and builder and often has projects on the go. From time to time we may need to access something from upstairs but we will respect your privacy.
