The Family Chalet

This generous cottage in Ballandean wine country gives groups and families genuine room to spread out. Three bedrooms sleep sixteen across both levels, with an upstairs loft adding extra beds and a second living area where you can settle in with something from the book exchange. The rustic kitchen handles group cooking, while the downstairs lounge centres on a fireplace and those big Chesterfield sofas that actually fit everyone.

Outside there's a gas barbecue and a fire pit for cooler evenings when restrictions allow. The pool table keeps kids and adults entertained between vineyard visits, and the place comes set up for younger children with safety gates, books and toys. It's a practical base for Granite Belt exploring, with enough space that a full house never feels crowded.
