Taabinga Homestead, Haly Creek

Taabinga Homestead is part of the National Estate and is central to the history of the South Burnett. The homestead was built in 1846 and is one of Queensland’s oldest, continuously lived in rural homes.

Situated at Haly Creek near Kingaroy, Taabinga Homestead is a working cattle property, set in undulating countryside which boasts many farming enterprises including grain, beans, peanuts, wine grapes and olives.

The Homestead is an easy drive from Brisbane and the Gold, Sunshine and Fraser Coasts. The Homestead is close to the Bunya Mountains National Park, a number of wineries, golf courses, the Bjelke Petersen and Boondooma Dams, Kingaroy and many other local attractions.

Accommodation at the Homestead is in fully equipped, self-contained cottages set amongst its gardens. Other outbuildings include the stables, a dairy, blacksmiths and butcher’s shops.

Walking trails around the property, including its dam, allow visitors to see birds and native animals in their natural state. Visitors may also view Taabinga’s cemetery and its vineyard, watch cattle work in action or simply relax in its tranquil setting.

Guests at the Homestead may choose to enjoy self-contained accommodation, bed and breakfast, or catered accommodation.

The Homestead also caters for group visits, which feature a guided tour of the Homestead and outbuildings together with lunch, morning or afternoon tea as required.

A visit to Taabinga Homestead offers a genuine experience of rural living as well as a glimpse of past lifestyles at this historic property.

Taabinga Homestead is owned and managed by Libby Leu and Colin Marshall. Libby’s family has owned and lived at the Homestead since 1887.
