Three Unique Historic Cottages

Each self-contained cottage is positioned to maximize privacy and take advantage of the stunning sunsets over the Burnett farmland:

• The Church (Circa 1912): Originally the All Saints Church at Memerambi, this beautifully renovated open-plan space is designed specifically for couples. It features a private paved deck, high ceilings, and an atmosphere of “tranquillity from yesteryear.”
