Find your home away from home at Willmann House, a thoughtfully renovated farmhouse set on the grounds of The Old Laravale School (near Beaudesert) in the Scenic Rim.

Gather your friends and make new memories in this historic homestead that sleeps nine adults. Set behind the original school building this inclusive venue welcomes guests from all communities.

Receive a warm welcome from host Wendy, who lives onsite. Then enjoy the picturesque views and peace and quiet of your self-contained space.

Prepare meals in your fully equipped kitchen and eat in unique style around a dining table made from recycled roofing timbers.

Settle into the spacious lounge room at the heart of the homestead and warm yourself around the potbelly stove or cool off under the ceiling fans.

If you can peel yourself away, take a picturesque drive to the Scenic Rim’s many hiking trails, lakes, wineries and eateries.

For provisions, Beaudesert is only 10 minutes away and has several local cafes, pubs, boutique shops and supermarkets.

With horses, cows & kangaroos as your closest neighbours and sweeping views across paddocks to the Border Ranges, you’ll feel a world away from your responsibilities even though you’re only an hour from Brisbane, Ipswich and the Gold Coast.

The Old Laravale School also offers a unique venue for sewing & craft Retreats. Contact Wendy for details.
