The Laurels is a historic Queensland Homestead built at Charley’s Creek, by the son of one of Chinchilla’s early settlers. We are the premier waterfront accommodation in Chinchilla and our guests have unique private access to kayaking and fishing along Charleys Creek. Our proximity to Charleys Creek also makes us a haven for birds with many species regularly spotted around the grounds.
Rubern Lodge – Chinchilla
The lodge offers self-contained guest accommodation and working equestrian centre all in one surrounded by immaculate gardens, horse yards and stables.
Arriving at the lodge, look out for the log fence painted white, complete with cattle grid to drive over. This oasis has so much history behind it, having been a church, a community hall and seasonal workers accommodation before being renovated into its current form.
Rubern’s past is still visible as quirky high ceilings, verandas and an interesting barn-style door in the downstairs common area.
You’ll discover so much more as you explore the gardens and surrounds.
