Clandulla Cottages & Farmstay

My family of 2 adults and a 6-year old boy just spent a very enjoyable 3 days and 2 nights at Clandulla Cottages & Farmstay. Our hosts Matt and Nambok were warm and welcoming throughout the entire stay. Watten Studio which we stayed in was clean and comfortable, and our child loved the interactive farm activities and lovely farm animals so much that he wanted to participate in every session every day. We adults loved the beautiful scenery and peaceful environment. Thank you Matt and Nambok for the well-deserved 5-star family farmstay experience!

Great stay with a huge but Pros - 1) Our apartment had a rustic charm to it, was cozy, clean and well maintained. Kids cutlery was provided and so was triple filtered water (to prevent tummy upset in younger kids). There was also a communal deck with a BBQ pit, foosball table and an assortment of sports equipment for you to utilise on the mini grass tennis lawn, basketball hoop and soccer goal post. 2) Animal feeding (once in the morning and once in the late afternoon) was nice and interactive and we got to meet/feed the animals as well as collect eggs from the chicken coop (only in the morning). Farmer Matt was very friendly and knowledgeable as well, which added to the positive experience. 3) Place was a quiet respite from the hustle and bustle of city life yet close enough to amenities/eateries in Canungra and Beaudesert (both ~15mins drive away) . Cons - 1) The walls were thin. We were rudely awakened close to 11pm and again at 6am the next morning from the din of the neighbouring apartment. Loud conversations, the TV, mobile phone ringing, the radio. Personally this is a big downside, especially if you have young kids. But to be fair, it's definitely not Clandulla Cottage's fault and entirely luck of the draw. Overall we had a largely positive experience and will look to return in future. Fingers crossed for considerate neighbours!

Nice quaint location with very accommodating host. Kids thoroughly loved the farm feeding at 8 am and 5 pm every day. Plenty of games and space for the kids to run around the farm Mt Tamborine is a 25 mins drive away with lots of other attractions

Our two young children, 4yrs and almost 2yrs, really enjoyed their time. Matt was very patient and inclusive during our stay and especially feeding times, which was a real highlight and kept the kids busy morning and afternoon. They also enjoyed the sandpit/swing area and we appreciated having the shared deck which had a gate. This allowed our little ones to play with the other 2 families on the deck where we could see them while we cooked dinner. We appreciated the recent renovations also! While staying, we also visited a small section of cedar creek, visited Mt Tambourine township where we found a lovely nature playground and also really enjoyed Canungra which also has a modern playground and Mum & Dad could enjoy a coffee close by. Oh and the glow worm caves!

It was a last minute decision to book 2 nights stay at Clandulla and we were not disappointed. Robyn, Ezie and Farmer Jay were extremely hospitable, allowing the kids to participate in the farm activities and feeding all the animals.. They were also patient to answer endless questions from my 7yo and 4yo. In the evening, they helped to set up the camp fire eh oh got the kids very excited! The estate has a big open lawn and a small sand pit area where the kids could run around. Accommodation was very comfortable and very clean! Highly recommend visiting with kids .

Thank you Robyn, Ezie & Farmer Jay for being such a warm & welcoming family. By day 2 she my daughter asked to come back in Term 4! She had great exposure with Robyn in that small time when preparing food for the afternoon feed and getting 1:1 insights on farming responsibilities and work & the stinging metal lol..... Coming before the rush of school holidays we picked our time really well. Ezie I loved your energy despite about to give birth in August with N#2 & holding little Noah with his battery tools being part of the feeding sessions. Farmer Jay thank you for taking us through a look at the former cafe & barn giving us some history of its former glory days & the transformation since your family bought the farm 3yrs ago. We will be back in deed. It was my first marshmallow fire pit with the 3 of us, mums first toasted marshmallows. We miss seeing the 12 peacocks, Joe Joe the kangaroo & the peace & beautiful surroundings.
