Farm experiences in South Burnett

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.

Frequently asked questions

What can you do on a South Burnett farm stay?

Lee Farmstay Cottages and Bunyip Springs Farmstay both offer a night on a working farm with animals to meet and hands-on farm life for staying guests. Exactly what's on offer depends on the season and the property, so ask when you book.

How far is the South Burnett from Brisbane?

Kingaroy and the surrounding South Burnett are roughly a two-and-a-half to three-hour drive north-west of Brisbane, making these farm stays a proper country weekend rather than a day trip.

Are the South Burnett farms suitable for children?

Farm stays with animals and open space suit many families, but activities and age suitability vary by property. Check each farm's own page and confirm the details with the operator when you book.
