Welcome to the Village
|
The gallery gazebo is a popular spot for photos, high teas or a glass of wine for our farm stay guests. This is the sort of charm that greets guests as they enter the village from the huge carpark (suitable for bus trips and caravans). The entire village is wheelchair accessible. There are many quirky and impressive art pieces installed throughout the village and all are included as part of the sale of the property.

The Cedar Gallery

This is the original purpose-built art gallery in the top complex of village buildings. It's a stunning venue for exhibitions or the resident art collection. It's situated on the same verandah as the 4 farm stay rooms plus the guest kitchen, disabled bathroom and guest room bathroom. The Cedar Gallery has a stunning vaulted ceiling with exposed beams, commercial picture hanging system and air-conditioning. The space is around 11m x nearly 7m plus an additional alcove. Another very flexible space, we've alternatively used it for conferencing, as a newborn photography studio and as a wedding reception venue. Every Friday and every second Saturday this space is used for fibre and textiles art including spinning, weaving and bobbin lace making.

The Cameron Bush Chapel
Built by Norm Cameron so his daughter could marry on the property, the bush chapel is an extraordinary structure of Queensland hardwood timber. With a polished wood floor, red carpets and stunning bespoke stained glass window it's a stunning venue for weddings, memorials and naming ceremonies. It's even functioned as a bush poetry auditorium. The chapel is an elongated octagonal shape roughly 13m long by around 7m wide. There are 19 handcrafted slab timber pews, two tall tables, red carpets and a variety of organza sashes for the pew ends. Recently we've upgraded the protection of the chapel with a colourbond cyclone-rated roof structure.

Laser Tag Kit & Headquarters
Our Laser Tag HQ is a secure room which holds our set of 23 Battlefield Sport outdoor laser tag replica weapons, medic boxes and associated equipment. The set is an Australian designed product with replaceable components, and the tech designers are Brisbane-based. This is adult gaming gear based on Call of Duty.
The property is well known for 2.5 hour laser tag sessions where players use the gardens and buildings of the village circle for realistic war game simulations. Night sessions with BYO drinks are popular with adults for birthdays and work events. The kids go crazy for it as a birthday party or in our regular school holiday laser tag events. We've had great success offering work Christmas events of night laser tag and a BBQ buffet. We can easily train you to run the games, which are underpinned by specialist sports insurance which has never needed to be claimed upon.
