Bestbrook Mountain Farmstay – Tregony

Bestbrook Mountain Farmstay offers an authentic and action-packed Australian country getaway, nestled at the foot of the Great Dividing Range in the beautiful Scenic Rim. Located on the Cunningham Highway at Tregony, this sprawling property is more than just a place to camp; it’s a destination designed for families and anyone looking to experience genuine rural life. The farm stay provides a wide range of accommodation, from spacious powered and unpowered campsites along Gap Creek to self-contained cabins. The main drawcard is the incredible array of hands-on farm activities. Guests can participate in twice-daily animal feeding, learn to crack a stockwhip, throw a boomerang, and make billy tea and damper over a campfire. The highlight for many is the horse riding, with guided trail rides suitable for all experience levels, meandering through the stunning mountain scenery. The property also features the licensed ‘Coach House Bar & Grill’, a rustic pub and restaurant serving hearty country meals, meaning guests don’t have to leave the property for a great feed and a cold drink. With its beautiful setting, endless activities, and warm country hospitality, Bestbrook provides an unforgettable farm experience, making it a perfect base for exploring the wineries of the Granite Belt and the national parks of the Scenic Rim.
