Mt Barney Lodge Country Retreat

Coming from New Zealand, I made the trip to Mt Barney and was absolutely in awe, at the beauty and peace I found !! If and when I can, I will return and stay for a week at least. The hiking was a lot of fun, with usually a waterhole to relax and cool down. The villa I stayed in was gorgeous, had everything you could possibly need, and the staff were extremely pleasant, helpful and accommodating. 11 out of 10 I can't thank the staff enough for this memorable stay.

The drive through the Scenic Rim was spectacular with mountain views at every turn. We were welcomed by Innes, such a happy chappy and owner of the retreat. We found the campground spacious and peaceful. Designated firerings are dotted throughout the grassy campsites. We jagged a spot with views of two mountains. Wallabies abounded throughout the retreat. The babbling creek was a perfect spot to cool off after long days hiking.

Lovely area near small river $20 each for a tent site 🧐 Then a minimal 2 night stay? Greediness Any way Flanagan’s is down the road $14 each Bring your own wood they charge double No where to cook They don’t tell you you have to pay for showers They also pick up all the timber for the camping area and fence it off . So you have to buy it 🙀

We spent a wonderful week at Mt Barney Lodge with friends over Christmas. The campgrounds are great with a local flowing river with many spots to keep everyone happy. The kids were so happy being able to wander off to the deeper swimming spot and we adults were happy staying closer to camp in one of the many shaded spots in the river. I recommend this place to anyone prepared to camp with a solar setup. The small facilities were always clean and hygienic. Bins were provided along with a bin for recycling food scraps. There were also ample taps to refill water. We hope to back soon. Last but not least the owners were very friendly and accomodating.

Beautiful relaxed holiday location Accommodation options for all family types from house to cabin to camper trailer to byo camper or tent. Sites are green and grassy. Facilities clean. Abundant wildlife and close to the national parks and many hikes

This is one of the best places on the planet. I have been a number of times and it’s always hard to leave but easy to come back. We done the navigation course on the weekend and it’s completely changed my world. Thanks Innes for your amazing hospitality, passing on some of your skills and knowledge of the area, I dearly appreciate it ✅✅✅ Iain W 😉
