It’s rare to find a place that captures the magic of Christmas so perfectly, but this farm does just that. Whether you’re visiting with family, friends, or just want to soak up the festive atmosphere, this is an absolute must-see. I’ve made it a new Christmas tradition every year! 🎄❤️

Each shop is just full of Christmas decorations 🎄🎁 The cafe had blankets for everyone which was thoughtful - it started snowing that afternoon. Santa’s reindeer were snuggling up to escape the cold! Get the toasted marshmallow candle🙌🏼 It was a fun outing, definitely need to come back during harvest season!

✨GBCF is AMAZING. No two words about it. The whole experience has been thought about and delivered on. I have introduced the farm to many many people and visited many times from over 2.5 hours away. I have beautiful memories with my Mum who has now passed, family, friends and my children. Every year we do the Christmas in July event and it’s always so fun. This year I recently went down with my friend for the VIP night and wow. Just wow. That’s a whole other experience of its own. The twinkling lights of all the stores is amazing. The atmosphere was superb. Over time I’ve done it all there; Picnics in the Christmas tree fields, feeding the animals with my kids while sipping hot chocolate, Christmas in July, Meeting Santa, harvesting/choosing our own real Christmas tree and VIP nights. Nothing compares to any other Christmas shop I’ve visited. Like many, I am Christmas crazy so the standard is high. I am across international brands (which GBCF stock) and love that they even have their own line. They have an extraordinary range of Christmas treasures from indoors to outdoors. Ornaments, figurines, florals and picks. It is very obvious that the owners have poured every inch of themselves into every aspect of what they do. The elves (staff) are all exceptional also and have all been there long enough that we are starting to recognise faces each time we visit. That’s obviously a credit to them also. I realise that the magic and brilliance of this beautiful place doesn’t come easy but please know as a Christmas loving customer, you guys have ‘sleighed’ it. Couldn’t recommend this place more! Mandy ✨

UPDATE: We came back again today for more amazing hot chocolate & to visit the animals! Was lovely to see all the things we missed the first time around on a sunny day! Hands down the best experience of our trip! Came down to Stanthorpe specifically to visit this farm and it did not disappoint. The layout was magical, the stores so well set up and decorated, the trip to the cafe was the highlight as the weather was freezing and rainy! Hands a must to visit if your in the area!!!

Amazing stuff! I'm not a big Christmas person but I loved it. So much stuff. The set up is cool. The hot chocolate was amazing and I got to feed the animals. I would definitely go back

Loved everything about the Christmas Farm! Just when I thought there wasn't anymore to see, there was! The staff are so warm and friendly. Highly recommend visiting

Definitely a must see if you want a real Christmas spirit. The decors at the different shops are amazing that I want to buy them all.

Lots of creativity went into creating this attraction. There are 3 mazes, plus mini golf. You all get a riddle to solve too (adults included). The signs around the place are awesome, very comical. If u are in the region, come visit it. Great for kids.

Fabulous! We had the best time! The riddles were fun, spent an hr in the maze trying to find the clues, mini golf was well set up and the songs were hilarious! Highly recommend! Well maintained too!

What a fun experience! The Granite Belt Maze was a great way to spend part of our day in Stanthorpe. Challenging enough to be engaging but not frustrating. Perfect activity for couples or families visiting the region. Well-maintained and good value for money. Mini golf was fun too!

Very pleasant experience with the mazes and putt putt. A lot of fun, well maintained facilities and friendly people to deal with. Love the riddles of course, and the signs are very funny!

This was such a fun and different experience! Being family owned, you could definitely feel the love that has gone into creating the place. I was thoroughly entertained with the hilarious signs everywhere, and the maze experience was fun because you have to find the answer to a riddle. So even though you can just take it casually, when you have the riddle to finish it makes you more excited to get through it. There were smaller mazes too which were super kid friendly and we finished the day with a round of the mini golf which was actually super fun! The place itself was well maintained and looked after, really beautiful and had enough in way of ammenities to feel comfortable. The husband and wife who own it were so friendly and sweet. Definitely recommend giving it a go!

A very fun experience! The riddle to solve whilst traversing the maze was very enjoyable, and the mini golf afterwards was a fun way to cap off this enjoyable afternoon. Staff were super friendly, and everything felt super relaxed and lovely!

Great place to go for a few hours the man and his wife are lovely and my family and I had an awesome time. If you do go make sure to read the signs. I wish the council would promote this place a lot more as there is hardly any signage! The owner said the council won't allow more signs so please go there for a family fun half day and help promote this amazing husband and wife team.

We drove south from Brisbane for about three hours to Stanthorpe. We mainly made the ride to see the lookout and also to visit Kent Saddlery in person. We found Stanthorpe to be a lovely place. It was very orderly, a pleasant break from the city's hustle and bustle. We each purchased an item from the store. The lookout is quite easy to navigate. It has a pathway to walk around. The drive is quite long which includes the Moonbi Mountains, a steep and slow ascent. We couldn't wait and had some lunch in Warwick. The road has fared well in comparison to weather affected areas closer to home and is very well maintained.

We had a fantastic experience at Kent Saddlery in Stanthorpe. The quality of their leather goods is outstanding, we purchased an Akubra, a wallet, and a purse, and all are beautifully made to last. The service was exceptional, the owner is very knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely passionate about what they do. It’s that real Aussie service you don’t find everywhere anymore. Our son especially loved feeding the llamas, they were so friendly and made the visit even more memorable. Highly recommend!

From the minute you walk in you get that wonderful smell of beautiful handcrafted leather products. Between the range of leather bags, handbags, hats, leather tools and equipment, and so so much more. The lady who served us was wonderful & friendly.

Really great staff and amazing quality products. Fantastic stop for the kids few animals and leather stamping.

Lyle went out of his way to help us find the right size hats and was so kind to our kids. Highly recomment

Love it - We have a number of items from here via online shopping as we were driving past and stopped in to have a look and purchase. The team was wonderful and sorted to add logo to items purchased in store and post home for us.

These guys make the best quality products. Highly recommend anything they make and their after sales service is second to none. Thanks for everything Josh and the team. Cheers Lochie and Karen

Wow! What a great place this is - 3 courses for $69. I had the pumpkin to start, beef brisket for main and lemon polenta cake for dessert. The wine was fantastic! I haven’t had many local wines but I am so keen to try more now. The service was great and prompt. Nothing to fault and would definitely recommend Varias for dinner when they are in Stanthorpe 👌🏾

We enjoyed the most delicious lunch at Varias – an experience that was both refined and satisfying. My husband had the tasting plate (Medley of mains) was beautifully presented, each element thoughtfully balanced with texture and flavour. From the crisp, golden sesame-crumbed piece with creamy dressing to the vibrant pickled vegetables and perfectly cooked meats, every bite was a delight. The combinations on the plate felt creative yet harmonious – a real showcase of seasonal produce. My lunch was equally impressive: a rich, flavoursome seafood stew with tender fish, balanced by the freshness of fennel and herbs, served with rustic grilled sourdough. Comforting yet elegant, it was exactly the kind of dish you want to linger over. Service was warm and attentive, and the wine pairings were spot-on, enhancing each course without overwhelming the food. The poached pear desert was equally outstanding! Amazing Overall, Varias delivers a truly memorable dining experience – sophisticated without being pretentious, and absolutely worth returning for.

Our yearly visit here from Brisbane once again was outstanding. The wines these young people produce are all fabulous we purchased half a dozen. The restaurant Varias is a must do.We cannot go past the Medley with matching wines it’s always 5 star restaurant quality and again we’re happy to report the food wine service and ambiance of this stunning restaurant is well worth a visit you will not be disappointed.

A fantastic dining experience. The pumpkin dish was the standout absolutely delicious. The fish was perfectly cooked, juicy and flavourful. Plus the presentation of each dish was top notch.

Our group of 6 visited Stanthorpe for the weekend and dined here Friday night. Sensational. Service excellent and the food was high quality and delicious. Very well priced set menu options. Varias is as good as, if not better than many similar city restaurants. Highly recommended.

We have been in the area all week. By far the best meal we have had. Top Value for money. paired very well with the wines🍷 The Mushroom entre was a unexpected standout. Thanks 🙏

Lovely lunch at Varias - I had Tuscan Fish Stew (delicious) and my partner had beef cheek with roasted seasonal vegetables (fabulous). Suggested matched wines were very good. We also had a wine tasting with Arantza their winemaker from the Basque Country in Spain and bought a dozen mixed wines to go home with us. Dining room has a lovely outlook over a small dam and vines. Great way to spend a Tuesday lunch.

Interesting place to go to. With a nice view of Stanthorpe town. But the path is not wheelchair friendly. Only picnic tables here with no bbqs or toilets.

Great mtbing with unique landscape. Very chunky at the top so be prepared. Very close to Stanthorpe CBD and coffee etc. lovely little town. Also good lookout on the way up.

Being so up, you can see very down. Don't bother to BYO wind, there was plenty provided for free on the day of my attendance.

Perfect spot to check out Stanthorpe and the local area. Telescope/binoculars are free and pretty decent. It's a shame that the metal plate with info about what is where has been stolen. Easy parking and nice area for a picnic. Shady and sunny spots.

Very quick drive or steep ride to the top. Something to do, kill time. It's shady, two picnic table, no toilets and parking up top accommodates about 10 cars, there's a little walk you can do from there. Two giant fixed binoculars. It's lovely up there.

Very cool lookout in the heart of Stanthorpe QLD. Easy walk for my 16.5yo Staffy with stunning views to boot.

Excellent views, look forward to visiting on my again on my motorbike.

On a cold winter's morning it was a warm hug of welcome. Like a step back in time with the happiest most welcoming staff I have encountered in a very long time. The food, Coffee and atmosphere were spectacular.

Busy little cafe with a cozy and warm feel. We visited as a group of 5 and had a Most delicious morning tea with cakes from the cabinet which were devoured with glee. Coffee was beautiful

The best coffee in Stanthorpe. We tried them all! The vibe of the Brinx is the best and the staff were so lovely. The breakfast was yummy too. My kids loved the baby chino.

Brinx is an absolute hidden gem! Not only do they serve a mean cup of coffee (seriously, it hits just right), but the entire place is filled with the coolest little treasures and quirky finds. Every corner has something that makes you go “oooh” — plants, art, homeware, and all the bits you didn’t know you needed until now. It’s the kind of spot where you come for a latte and end up staying way longer just to explore. Definitely recommending Brinx to anyone who loves good brews and good vibes. Can’t wait to go back and discover more!

Went here twice in 2 days. First was really good but second time wasnt as good. Different barista maybe? We ordered coffees both times. They also have a range of Rufus Teague sauces to purchase which goes great on bbq. Never very busy and had a reasonable number of tables inside.

My favourite Café in Stanthorpe since 2012 at least. Wish I could take you to Tassie with us. Thanks for being amazing 🙏🫶😋

Fantastic to find a real coffee shop with knowledgeable baristas. They made a great magic. Didn't have an opportunity to try the food as only the deli was open. Dog friendly too

Great place to meet family and friends to have a few drinks and a meal. It had a good atmosphere, the drinks were cold and the meals were tasty.the waiting staff and barman were all friendly and efficient.

Thank you to the amazing staff tonight. We were visiting from interstate and they went above and beyond to cater for us in more ways than one. Food, service and their bubbly attitude was wonderful. Steaks were cooked perfectly, so thank you kitchen staff.

Nice clean pub friendly staff Food nice loved crumbed steak The people are friendly I found Than where I used to live The streets are clean nice statute And Cafe had great wall I did bit busking with my 12 string Now I'm up sunshine coast

Amazing food and service Large portions and taste amazing Great home style food Highly recommend

Great little country pub, best feed 400g tbone with vegies, Stay was clean and tidy had and all we needed

Went out for a meal during our overnight stay in Stanthorpe, The staff were great and the food very nice and large portions, Definitely going back if we are through this way again

PumpkinVegetable Lasagne was not nice,but rump steak was good.

Came here twice for breakfast over the weekend. We ordered the same thing both days, different staff and the price was exactly the same. No, it doesn't always happen. Coffee and tea were great and the food is what you would expect from maccas, goldilocks. No complaints, would recommend stopping in. Cheers

I have cancelled Maccas from my families menu in Brisbane due to poor food quality and hygiene but the Stanthorpe Maccas has demonstrated that Maccas can still be a good place to eat. It is cleaner, more freindly and better food than any in Brisbane. Well done Stanthorpe.

This Place is beyond a joke . The wait times for in store purchased food is ridiculous. Alot of unhappy people just waiting for placed orders. Would be quicker to get in the car and go through drive through as it obviously has priority. Toilets stink and obviously don't get clean like they should🤢

First time ever going here, will not be returning ever. On arrival, went to the toilet, disgusting. The smell was disgusting and it was dirty, definitely not getting Dailey clean. Service was quite quick but we ate in, every table had food scraps on them, not cleaned and food and crap all over the floor, thisis disgusting for a restaurant chain. Oh the food, not the restaurants fault, but what a rip off, and not putting pickles in the burgers, what the hell is wrong with you lot. The owner needs to overhaul the team on how to run it correctly.

Do not recommend. Blonde female manager is useless at her job, dismissive and rude. Told her multiple times what order number we had. Waited 40 mins to say ‘she hadnt even heard of that number before’. This experience set us back 40 mins on our trip home to Brisbane which was already late enough as it was. Crazy.

Over 15 minutes from ordering to receive our order at 8am, and our order was 4 hash browns and a coke. There was 1 other customer in front of us. Some of the worst speed I have ever seen from a McDonald’s.

Went there during work. Only two staff handling the drive-thru and a big crowd — my food took 40 minutes, but can’t blame them, they were really short-staffed.

Absolutely delicious sushi — fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavour! , definitely the best Japanese food in Stanthorpe. The staff were friendly and the atmosphere was cozy and welcoming. Highly recommend this place!!

My hubby and I enjoyed a delicious salmon bowl, sake & black sesame ice cream. Loved our visit, food was fresh & quick.

Best Japanese I have ever had. Staff are very polite and respectful, and are always willing to help and ensure customers are enjoying their meals. The food is absolutely delicious, there are many options to choose from and each meal I have tried has been cooked to perfection. As a regular customer, I have found that the speed of which the meals have been served has been faster than many other restaurants. The setting of Hanasaku is very inviting and the staff are always there to welcome you with a smile. I would highly recommend Hanasaku Restaurant Stanthorpe for both a lunchtime or dinner meal.

Highly recommend this place! The portion size is massive and prices are very affordable. Polite and kind staff, definitely satisfied with the service!

Sampled a few of there dishes, especially enjoyed the Takoyaki, had to try the Okonomiyaki (pancake), which was interested and enjoyed it. We dad the spicy pork don for main, very tasty but was on the hotter side. Staff were polite and friendly, recommend a visit if you enjoy Japanese and a standout restaurant in Stanthorpe.

Working in Stanthorpe for 11 weeks , thought I would try this little cool looking Japanese restaurant , the food on the menu looked great . Sat down by myself , there were only 4 other ppl in the restaurant . I didn’t take long less than a minute to decide what I wanted. I sat there for more than five minutes waiting to be served . When I walked in there were 2 woman serving and one man , they seemed to disappear . I got angry and tired of eating and walked out , never to return … absolutely appalling service .

Wow! Truly an amazing little restaurant all the way in Stanthorpe. Highly recommended you dine here if you’re in town. The owners are really nice, the food is delicious with the right balance of the true authentic flavours. Feedback for owners: - for dine ins have bottles of soy sauce, wasabi & fresh ginger. The little fish plastic packets of soy sauce produces a lot of plastic waste and is annoying.

Purchase on way home after work. Bought quarter chicken meal plus some extras. Asked to not have breast. Upon getting home I see it’s the breast piece, fairy dry and potato/gravy was mostly dry potato. Sad and annoyed

Ordered 2 rooster rolls and large fries for $25. The rolls were mushy squashy microwave quality and was difficult to find the chicken in amongst the thick mayonnaise. Thank goodness for the napkins which we mainly used to wipe all the massively excessive salt from the chips. The entire meal just made me sick. If I could give it minus stars, I would

The chicken was so dry! It was horrible and the prices are ridiculous! Your a fast food chain not a 5 star restaurant! Give this place a miss.

Was disgusted with the rooster roll - the last 2 times we came there was so little chicken in it it was appalling. Today hubby decided to complain and the reply he got was "It's all weighted". They flatly refused to make him another one. Here's a picture if you think I'm exaggerating - it certainly looks nothing like the advertised picture for this product. There was literally 3 pieces of chicken in the whole roll.

Received a contact from the owner asking if there was any ideas for improvement - big plus for me! Nice work

Went though on a Friday evening placed our order on the app got to drive though window had 3 large meals got to the window and was told by the young girl at the window we had to go to waiting Bay for 2 pieces of chicken it would be 20min without even giving us a suggestion to swap it for something else we had to ask if there was anything to swap it with. Then we went back on the Sunday order 2 large meals was told 8 minute wait on chips that was ok it took 25min to get our order and the chips were cold. Either the staff are not getting trained correctly or they just don't care but we will not be going back there again

We should have read the reviews before stopping here. Only went through the drive through and ordered two Flayva wraps. The name should give it flavour but unfortunately chicken was dry hardy any sauce and the cheese is plastic cheese. Cost was $22:50 which I think is insane. Rang and gave feedback with the manager who was lovely and explained cheese has been changed over to plastic cheese and is out of our hands.
