The Old Laravale School

Discover a welcoming retreat at Willmann House, a beautifully restored farmhouse situated on the grounds of The Old Laravale School, near Beaudesert in the Scenic Rim. This historic homestead, accommodating up to nine adults, is the perfect place to gather with friends and create lasting memories. Located behind the original school building, this inclusive venue is open to guests from all communities.

Your stay begins with a warm welcome from your host, Wendy, who lives on-site. Enjoy the tranquillity and stunning views from your self-contained space. The fully equipped kitchen allows you to prepare meals, which can be savoured around a dining table crafted from recycled roofing timbers, adding a unique touch to your experience.

Relax in the spacious lounge at the heart of the homestead, where you can cosy up by the potbelly stove in cooler weather or cool down under the ceiling fans during warmer days.

For those looking to explore, the Scenic Rim offers numerous hiking trails, lakes, wineries, and dining options, all within a picturesque drive. Beaudesert, just 10 minutes away, provides all necessary provisions, with local cafes, pubs, boutique shops, and supermarkets available.

Surrounded by horses, cows, and expansive paddocks with views extending to the Border Ranges, you’ll feel a world away from daily life, despite being only an hour from Brisbane, Ipswich, and the Gold Coast.

The Old Laravale School also serves as a unique venue for sewing and craft retreats. For more details, reach out to Wendy.
