Thirlestane Farm Cottage & Barn luxury accommodation with stunning views

Thirlestane Farm Cottage & Barn-Cooroy

A quintessential farm workers cottage and barn renovated to an exceptionally high standard with a modern barn extension, for use as a holiday home set in 24 acres of peaceful rolling hills, close to the township of Cooroy & only 20 mins from the stunning beaches of Noosa Shire.

Sleeping up to 8 guests it is ideal for families or close friends to escape to the country and just relax & enjoy both the serenity of the farm but also enjoy the many activities that the Noosa Hinterland offers.

As a family we enjoy the beach during the summer and sitting around a fire in winter so 4 years ago we went searching for a property that we could all spend time together.

We found a little tired cottage sitting in 24 acres of an old dairy farm, high on a hill that offered the most spectacular views and was only 20 mins to the beach.

We bought it that day and have spent those last 4 years renovating the home and building a modern barn to an extremely high standard, each completed self contained with two bedrooms, with quality fixtures and fittings, built fire pits, an outdoor cinema, become proud owners of Highland cows, ducks, chickens, bees and planted orchards but we have been very careful not to lose the authentic feel of a working country home that we found so appealing the first time we set eyes on the property.

We plan to continue to improve Thirlestane in the coming years with the addition of a pool and further eco-cottages set around the farm, but for the time being we're just delighted to have found this wee jewel in the middle of the most beautiful countryside.

The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2.5 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a fenced private yard.

'Heaven on Earth'

'Heaven on Earth' is how my mother described the view here at Thirlestane Farm. Beautiful surroundings in a quiet part of the Sunshine Coast - just 30 minutes drive from the hustle and bustle of Noosa. Very well appointed to a high specification. We hope to return next year.

Serenity at it's best!

What a beautiful experience my retreat guests and myself enjoyed at Thirlestane Cottage. From booking to check out, every moment was such ease. Tee is an amazing host and so approachable and has truly created paradise in the hills. The homes and grounds are fitted out so beautifully and it is so easy to become one with the surroundings and feel so chillled out!! I will be back !

Amazing

We had a lovely weekend at Tee and Stephen’s home, there were so many great spots inside and out to sit and relax, with views in all directions to enjoy. Sitting by the fire pit with wine and cheese watching the sun go down and the stars come out was a highlight. Thank you for sharing your farm with us.

Absolutely superb

After a decade of staying at different holiday homes once or twice a year in south east Qld, this gorgeous property is by far the best I’ve ever seen or stayed in. As others have said, it has a great feel and it’s the perfect combination of homeliness and neutrality. Everyone so comfortable and well appointed. Loved all the little sitting areas inside and out - and tried out every one of them! Great lounge and bed and linens. It was incredibly spotless also - a five star property in every way without any pretension! Host Tee was fantastic and super responsive. Can’t rate it highly enough (although somewhat reluctantly as I’d selfishly prefer that word doesn’t spread too far!) Thanks for a truly perfect getaway!

Wonderful country cottage escape

Great property for the family that likes to get away from it all, but still have it all! Lovely and clean with all the modern comforts. We had the most amazing time star gazing, doing puzzles, exploring the region, and roaming the property looking at all the wildlife. The pastries and good coffee in Cooroy a few minutes down the road was a bonus!

Perfect spot for a mini-break in the country

The cottage has been renovated to perfection and is an ideal place to escape for a few nights with the family. Our children (aged 4 and 7) loved the green space to play and we all enjoyed the picturesque views of the surrounding hills, country air and serenity. We will definitely be back!
