Killarney View Cabins & Caravan Park Qld {Review}

Views from the spacious cabins

Killarney View Cabins and Caravan Park 

Most Australians and many Queenslanders, may not be able to place the town of Killarney on a map. Maybe, that is because the town of 800 people lies a little off the beaten track, located 35  kilometres south east of Warwick, or an easy two and a half hours drive from Brisbane. 

We discovered Killarney on a visit to Stanthorpe six months ago, when a spur of the moment decision, saw us turning left instead of straight ahead and within 20 minutes we were at Killarney View Caravan Park unravelling our tent.

This place really is a hidden gem, peaceful, relaxing, and perfect for either couples or a family getaway.  The Cabins are of a high standard in comparison to many cabins in holiday parks, and a newly build 2 bedroom cottage is a welcome addition for those with a larger group. 

We have recently come home from a week camping.  The camping sites sit up on a small grassy hill with shady trees, offering a fantastic view of the sunset each evening and are set apart from the Caravanners who have concreted  block sites, below the powered camp sites.

Many of the camp sites come with their own fire pit - great for cold winter's nights and cooking in your camp oven if you are lucky enough to own one. 

The camp kitchen is warm and inviting.  Timber tables and chairs, a pot belly stove for winter, free bbq, plus a fridge, microwave, toaster and jug.  Sunday mornings are busy here with the owners cooking up a Sunday pancake storm for their guests.  Friday and Saturday afternoons, the camp kitchen is used to screen movies on the new big screen!  

The town itself carries several shops and cafes, with the main hub of town being the Co Op store, which is a decent sized supermarket, that also has an electrical store attached and a Westpac bank. The Hotel is a beautifully restored building, and serves Lunch and Dinner daily. The meals are large and hearty,  with a couple of daily specials along with standard fare like Steaks and Fishermans Baskets. A children's menu is also available. 

We found the co-op deli section perfect for creating gourmet picnic lunches and we sourced a few local reds from the Killarney Hotel bottleshop.  

Killarney is just 8 kilometres from Queen Mary Falls from where one can partake in the many bush walks, or if you are feeling more relaxed you can simply sit at the Queen Mary Park Cafe and ponder life sipping a Cappuccino on the balcony, and look at the wonderful birdlife. You can hand feed the birds (King Parrots, Rosellas and Galahs) from here, with bird feed available for a dollar at the store.

4WD fanatics can take the track through the Condamine River, where you cross the River 14 times. The scenery around here is spectacular.

The owners Gary and Trudy are truly delightful and most helpful.  They go out of their way to make Killarney View a very special experience. 

If you want a touch of the high life or a simple  weekend away then make sure you stop by and browse www.killarneyview.com.au.
