"Thank you for our lovely time away at Laravale. Im so pleased we found your getaway. The house is just beautiful with everything we could possibly want. The kitchen is so well equipped for self catering, the bedrooms very comfortable and the lounge a lovely hub for our drinks and nibbles. The outside screened area is also wonderful we just haven’t had the time to sit there as we are too busy stitching in the beautiful, bright, airy, well equipped craft room."
Sharon says
"The Old Laravale School was such a great place for our scrapbooking retreat.
So much space to work.
House is beautiful with antique furniture.
The fresh baked bread, local jam & cheese, and lavender cookies was a lovely treat.
We were also fortunate to be there when the Scenic Rim Astronomy Assoc were meeting on the oval and got to gaze at the heavens through their telescopes. Very informative.
Owners are lovely."
"Wonderful venue for sewing.
Lovely home to come back to for a quiet and peaceful night."
