Lovely short stay in ‘Rachel’s Cottage’. Lots of quirky features. The bedrooms & lounge in one building at the front attached via a flat deck to the bathroom and large eat in kitchen at the back. The deck had a table and chairs, all were very private. Perfect location in the Main Street next to Foodworks and short walk down to the bakery and great pub.The cottage had everything you would need. Beds were comfortable. Good strong hot shower over clawfoot tub. Pretty front porch overlooking the cottage garden perfect for a cuppa.Visited the fabulous Texas Regional Art Gallery just down the street and 5 minutes drive to the Rabbit Works, an interesting part of Australia’s history, well worth a visit.

What a beautiful cottage, it takes you back to the days when life was easy with all the facilities for a comfortable stay, dinner at the Texas Hotel was lovely and the pizza from the Texas Takeaway was on a different level.We went out there to relax and get away from the hustle and bustle of life and it worked. We will be back , thank you.

A good time in Texas

The cottage was well equipped with all we needed. Lots of old time memorabilia to check out. Only criticisms would be the uncomfortable lounge/divan and no wifi available.

Great Weekend in Texas Qld

We had a very enjoyable stay. Everything is in order just as described. Kindling and timber for the fire was supplied. The authentic cottage was a wonderful experience again. This is the 4th time we have visited over the last 10 years. And we will again.

My family lives in Texas, and we have found a home away from home. 'The Cottage' gave us the privacy we needed but allowed family and friends to visit. Made our trip a great one.

Heritage accommodation, comfortable and friendly

A genuine original with an architecture to go with it - smallish accommodation rooms, with a separate kitchen and outhouse, all joined up by a verandah. We arrived on a hot day to find the air con unit in the bedroom already running to make things cool. As the evening air chilled we were able to relax on the latticed-in side verandah with our miniature Poodle. The cottage is in the main street, which is neat and pretty. Shopping and services are short walk away.
