Mt Barney Lodge

Coming from New Zealand, I made the trip to Mt Barney and was absolutely in awe, at the beauty and peace I found !! If and when I can, I will return and stay for a week at least. The hiking was a lot of fun, with usually a waterhole to relax and cool down. The villa I stayed in was gorgeous, had everything you could possibly need, and the staff were extremely pleasant, helpful and accommodating. 11 out of 10 I can't thank the staff enough for this memorable stay.

The drive through the Scenic Rim was spectacular with mountain views at every turn. We were welcomed by Innes, such a happy chappy and owner of the retreat. We found the campground spacious and peaceful. Designated firerings are dotted throughout the grassy campsites. We jagged a spot with views of two mountains. Wallabies abounded throughout the retreat. The babbling creek was a perfect spot to cool off after long days hiking.

Lovely area near small river $20 each for a tent site 🧐 Then a minimal 2 night stay? Greediness Any way Flanagan’s is down the road $14 each Bring your own wood they charge double No where to cook They don’t tell you you have to pay for showers They also pick up all the timber for the camping area and fence it off . So you have to buy it 🙀

We spent a wonderful week at Mt Barney Lodge with friends over Christmas. The campgrounds are great with a local flowing river with many spots to keep everyone happy. The kids were so happy being able to wander off to the deeper swimming spot and we adults were happy staying closer to camp in one of the many shaded spots in the river. I recommend this place to anyone prepared to camp with a solar setup. The small facilities were always clean and hygienic. Bins were provided along with a bin for recycling food scraps. There were also ample taps to refill water. We hope to back soon. Last but not least the owners were very friendly and accomodating.

I have stayed here at least 6 times and it truly is a jewel in the crown of SEQ. they are very reasonable in everything and honest about everything. A trusted safe and pleasant stay. 5 stars. The only downside is some of the facilities are a bit run down but I don’t mind as it makes it ultimately affordable. Well done to staff and all involved

Wonderful home away from home. Great place to be in the midst of nature. Staff excellent. The campsite facilities are clean and accessible. Will definitely plan to return again when we can.
