The owners are nice and accommodated us with our pooch, the property is unique and well worth checking out, rooms are very good. Make sure you call and speak to the owners to confirm your requirements, don't rely on wotif to get it right because they wont. I will recommend the place to friend's and family.

Needed a short getaway and The Laurels come highly recommend by a friend. Our room was comfortable and clean. The surroundings very unique. Loved walking around the grounds. The staff very obliging, even an open umbrella waiting at our door to walk to breakfast in the rain. Felt very welcome and enjoyed our stay.

Hidden Gem in Chinchilla
Nice comfortable rooms, very rustic made with heaps of reclaimed materials. Was very cool. Was an amazing little table down by the river to sit at and have a drink. Mosquitos were thick but were surprised to see the rooms had mosquito coils supplied free to use outside. Little bit of highway noise faint in the background when outside but not an issue from inside from the room we were in. Rooms were clean, the bed was comfortable. It was very hot and our aircon worked really hard to keep the room cool. Would definitely stay again.

River Cottage Is Always a Slice of Heaven
We always love our long weekend getaways from the City to the gorgeous River Cottage at Laurels of Chinchilla. Can’t wait to be back again soon. Hospitality always exceptional and one of my favourite things is the beautiful bed!! I catch up on a lot of sleep and feels like home away from home.
