The South Burnett, around Kingaroy about three hours north-west of Brisbane, is peanut and grazing country with a growing farm-stay scene. Lee Farmstay Cottages at Kingaroy and Bunyip Springs Farmstay at Maidenwell both put you on a working farm with animals to meet and farm life to join in, a quiet rural escape rather than a pick-your-own day out.
These are booked stays with on-farm activities for guests. Confirm what's included and what animals or activities are running with each property before you travel.
