“We just love everything about the shack! The warm homely feel, the serenity, the peace, the feeling of being alone with nature. Also the fire pit, we spent every night around it toasty warm :)”

“We loved the Shack! It is such a well thought out little place. It has everything you need and still feels spacious. It was very clean and tidy. It was the perfect space and location for our little family.”

Bec

“We loved the whole vibe of the shack, country styles and warm welcoming layout. Loved the land, the cattle (they certainly love pats!), and the little fenced off backyard. We spent hours in the afternoon playing ball in the yard with the kids,...”

“Feels new and well kept, off the grid design and very comfortable. Accessible firepit and wonderful dark skies with the visible milky way. Backed onto Benarkin national Park, spotted roos and birdlife, and the property's cattle.”

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.
