ABOUt Kilkivan country Bed & breakfast
Set on 3 acres, the historic Kilkivan Country Bed and Breakfast is just over an hour's drive from the Sunshine Coast and 2.5 hours' drive north-west of Brisbane.
Our guests love the friendly hospitality, and the relaxed atmosphere, which suits tourists, visitors and workers. There’s also the resident dog, a Dalmatian named Pirate, as well as the wild birds and kangaroos which appear regularly in the grounds.
The history of the house 'Gwandoban', which means "place of rest" in Aboriginal dialect, was built in 1911 by David Lacey Jones, the grandson of the founder of the David Jones department stores.
Jones became the first Shire Clerk of the then Kilkivan Shire Council. The architecture typifies the Queensland colonial style with its wide verandas, high ceilings and ornate characteristics including pressed metal ceilings, a distinctive archway and magnificent lead light windows in the loungeroom.
Accommodation rates
The ‘Colonial’ Room (pictured above) is an elegant bedroom with a queen-sized bed, antique furniture, a table and chairs, and an en-suite. Year-round comfort is assured by reverse-cycle air conditioning. A continental breakfast available to guests, with provisions available in the suite’s fridge. The tariff for a one-night stay, including a continental breakfast, is $170 per night.
