The Sanctuary Stanthorpe Possums Hollow 2bed cabin

Great for couples and big groups. This 65 acre private & peaceful Stanthorpe property is a mix of open parklands, bush & rocky outcrops. The granite rock formations are great to climb (for kids, and kids at heart) with some reaching over 8m. The property has walking/cycling tracks (BYO walking shoes and push bikes), dams, and open paddocks, ideal for a family cricket match or picnic. Sit around the outdoor campfire & enjoy crisp nights under spectacular starry Stanthorpe night skies. Possums Hollow is one of 3 cabins on at THE SANCTUARY STANTHORPE you can just book Possums Hollow or for corporate groups, multiple families or large group getaways, you can also book Hooters Hut and/or Eagles Rock also on Airbnb. The 3 cabins are around a 2 minute walk from each other. Possums has two king single beds in one bedroom and a single and a queen bed in the second. Possums also has a fold down sofa beds in the lounge for any extras, a lounge, dining area, an indoor wood fire (firewood is supplied), a full kitchen, outdoor undercover areas for relaxing which opens onto your own private fire pit. We ask that you BYO sheets and towels. We supply warm doonas, doona covers, pillows extra blankets and everything else you will need. The bird life is spectacular. Watch the possums, kangaroos, koalas and deer. Sit around the outdoor campfire all year round and enjoy the crisp nights under the spectacular Stanthorpe night skies. Private and peaceful, The Sanctuary Stanthorpe is the perfect spot for nature loving enthusiasts and those who just need some space and time to relax, reconnect, reenergise and recharge. We love Sutton’s Farm (cider, café and juice) good for morning or afternoon tea. Their apple pies are famous. Check out Stanthorpe Cheese, all 10/10 cheeses as far as we are concerned. Close by also is the Granite Belt Christmas Farm (animals to pet and feed), Law Dogs (they also have a truffle centre), Kent Saddlery and the Stanthorpe Maze which also has mini golf. Two of the region’s top award-winning wineries are just a stones throw away they are Heritage Estate (2021 best Queensland Wine and an unforgettable experience) and Summit Estate Wines, who do a great Friday and Saturday night picnic bonfire soiree. The region has 48 cellar doors. Some of our other favourites, based on the wine, the experience and service in no particular order are Rumbalara Estate, Jester Hill, Symphony Hill, Twisted Gum, Ballandean Estate, and Pyramid Wines. Great lunches are available at Jester Hill and Hidden Valley (ask to sit by the lake if the weather looks good but check the menu first, it is seasonal) and also at Heritage Estate has wonderful food and unique foodie events. We suggest you book ahead wherever you go and book for wine tasting in the cooler months. Some places are not open 7 days checking in advance is a good idea. Nearby you will find Anna’s candles and Washpool Soaperie which has a huge range of exceptional hand/body washes, soaps, lotions and potions. Both Anna’s Candles and Washpool goodies make great gifts. There are great places to eat too. O’Mara’s Hotel is not fancy but it’s really good pub food and they make lots of their own goodies. The Country Club Hotel does pretty good pub food too as does the Commercial Hotel. These pubs are in the main street of Stanthorpe. Anna’s (take away only) is a great Italian but be warned, the portions are huge!! The Aussie Beef Steak House does more than steak but their steaks are spectacular.. Hanasaku is an exceptional Japanese restaurant open for lunch and dinner, and for something slightly fancier try Varias (it never disappoints), also open for lunch and dinner most days. Try Blue Topaz for crazy good burgers and milkshakes at good prices, or visit blue pot pantry for a casual longer lunch in the countryside. They also have great pickles and jams. Out new favourite is Balancing Heart Vineyard, they do outstanding pizzas, mezze and cheese platters add a bottle of wine and chill out by the lake for the afternoon. Balancing Heart is just minutes from Heavenly Chocolates and Girraween National Park. Hanasaku and the Aussie Beef Steakhouse are BYO wine. We recommend booking in advance for both lunch and dinner. The region has some wonderful national parks to explore. These include Girraween, Sundown and Bald Rock. For a closer and easier “rocky walk” with great views visit Donnelly’s Castle it’s just 8 minutes away. It is very kid/older people friendly and a great place for a picnic. Enjoy rocks, caves and wonderful lookout. Donnelly’s castle is close to Heritage Estate and Boireann Wines and also close to Stanthorpe Cheese. Oh, and don’t forget to check out a sunset during your stay and star gazing is a must. Both are spectacular if there is a clear sky and The Sanctuary is the perfect place to gaze at a starry sky. We will consider one dogs per cabin. Please contact us first to discuss. Charges apply. Thanks.
