Beliebte 4-Sterne-Hotels in King Scrub

From 10 through to 14 August 2023, my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed a stay in the delightful Dayboro Cottages, around 4 kilometres north of Dayboro off the Mount Mee Road; Dayboro being 44 kilometres north west of Brisbane. We were due to have two nights to bring in the 2023 New Year; however I had some unexpected hospitalisation which curtailed our plans. We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the owner/managers Charmaine and Tim who very graciously held over the money we had already paid, for a later time. And so we waited until August 2023 for our delayed ‘New Year’ experience and in appreciation of Charmaine and Tim’s thoughtfulness, we paid for an extra night so we could enjoy three nights here. There are 5 cottages on the property and we stayed in their king spa cottage named “Árbol”, which is Spanish for tree. Under the cottage’s name sign on the front door is a keypad with a locked compartment housing the key, which is retrieved by punching in a dedicated code given to us before we arrived. There is no reception office and throughout our stay we never met Tim or Charmaine – we came and went unannounced. Entry to our cottage was via a set of steps (which are not steep) from a shared car parking area. As such, guests need to be aware that they will have to carry their luggage to the cottage if they are staying at “Árbol”. “Árbol” Cottage was a joy to stay in. From the door a short hallway leads to the main living area. On a small occasional table at the end of this hallway are two warm and fluffy grey bathrobes for our personal use during our stay. The living area incorporates a comfortable king size bed; television within its own compartment; a microwave cooker with a bar refrigerator below; and a large cupboard with an ample bench top and a sink to prepare meals and wash up the dishes. Inside the cupboard and the side drawers are all the cooking and eating utensils needed for guests, like us, who prefer to cook our own meals. At the far corner of the bench top is a Nespresso Coffee Pod Machine with coffee pods and a separate milk frother. Also in the living area is a small but adequate dining table with two chairs and a comfortable enough black lounge. There is good room to move in the area where the table and chairs and lounge are located. The cottage has successfully utilised the availability of natural light by having a row of three closed clear glass louvre windows above the wall closest to the bed. The endearing feature of the place is the impressive view of the surrounding countryside from the verandah which leads out from the living area. The verandah has included an outdoor table and chair setting – ideal for enjoying a “drink on the terrace” with cheese and crackers and admiring the view. It doesn’t get any better than that. All the cottages have been strategically built on the property so as to afford total privacy from each other when spending time on the verandah and spaced far enough from each ot
