Mount Barney Lodge Country Retreat
1093 Upper Logan Road, Barney View, Barney View, QLD, 4287
Our aim at Mt Barney Lodge is to provide a country retreat for people to rest, recreate, and recharge their batteries.
We are also a point of departure for those fit and adventurous enough to climb Mt Barney and its associated peaks. Mt Barney is a wild and rugged geographical feature, and is Queenslands fourth highest peak (1359m).
We are situated in a very special place, and we look forward to sharing it with you. Our philosophy is based on living in harmony with people and nature, and we aim to project this philosophy towards our guests so that they leave feeling more at ease with themselves and with the world.We follow the ideals of ecotourism, and achieved NEAP accreditation in March, 2002. We promote minimal impact bushwalking, and ask you to be thoughtful as you walk in the bush. For this reason our Lodge is not an appropriate place to bring your pets.
We strive to create an atmosphere for our guests which is hospitable, helpful, and stimulating.
Mt Barney Lodge began in the late 1980s when John and Jenny Larkin purchased Moringararah, the original Hardgrave farmhouse from the 1900s.
Over a 10 year period the rest of the lodge was established, including a camping ground with modern amenities, a second homestead, and two cabins. John & Jenny Larkin have owned the property for nearly 15 years now, and have developed it from a run-down abandoned farm to a widely recognised getaway destination.
In December 2003, Innes and Tracey Larkin commenced managing the property and have expanded services to include adventure activities, groups and conferences, and homestyle meals. The function room under Boolamoola is used frequently through wilderness first aid courses, craft weekends, corporate meetings, weddings and special functions. We assure you we'll be doing all we can to ensure your stay is memorable.
Our market is as varied as is our accommodation. We appeal to a wide range of people, from young agile bushwalkers, to senior citizens sharing a rock-pool with their toddler grandchild. We are unique in that we can accommodate and provide meals for groups up to 30 people, or you can self-cater in the fully self-contained facilities.
Families from the radius of Brisbane, Ipswich, Toowoomba, Lismore through to the Gold Coast make up the bulk of our guests, and some are returning for their tenth time!
The services we offer range from a campsite for the budget-minded family to an intimate dinner, bed & breakfast experience for a couple in a distinguished colonial home. We welcome groups up to 30 people and provide accommodation and meals packages.
