    It's the perfect place to disconnect from daily life and reconnect with yourself. I regret only staying one night, I should have stayed at least one more...very clean and quiet place. The hosts were amazing!

    Fabulous stay! We've spend 1 night as a family with 2 kids and absolutely loved our stay at the Shack. The place was so quiet and had everything we needed for our stay. We will definitely recommend that place to anyone.

    Lovely quiet bushland setting. Large comfortable room. Really good quality sheets, towels etc. The room was decorated with old family items like an old Sewing, a piece of antique glassware, an old family photograph.

Come and relax on our 100acre property. The Shack is situated toward the back of the block surrounded by wild life, backing onto the Benarkin State Forestry. It is only 10klm from Blackbutt the perfect place to start your Brisbane Valley Rail Trail experience.
Taromeo is situated close to the small township of Benarkin, and only a short derive to Blackbutt, one of the entries onto the Brisbane Valley rail Trail.
