Warwick and the surrounds are fast becoming a luxury tourism destination for group getaways and romantic weekend away from home.
The Braeside Homestead is a restored 145-year-old heritage listed property, situated on 1000 acres of bushland.
Just 30 minutes south of Warwick, the luxury estate offers guests an escape to a tranquil country environment.
Visitors are encouraged to take a stroll through the gardens, pick produce and feed the residential geese and black faced sheep.
Spend the day taking a private yoga class, getting a relaxing massage, playing a game of tennis or exploring the wineries in Stanthorpe and Ballandean.
After adventuring out for the day, wind down by sitting in front of the fireplace, taking advantage of the hot tub or taking in the serene atmosphere from the veranda.
The property offers stays for groups in the four-bedroom homestead or couples in a romantic cottage.
But that’s not the only drawcard enticing people to visit the region’s rural town.
Guests will be flocking to Warwick this weekend when the IOR Rosebowl Polocrosse Carnival comes to town from August 20 to 22.
The weekend-long event kicks off at 5.30pm on Friday at Morgan Park.
Tickets are $12.50 per adult and can be booked online at warwickpolox.com.au.
