Photoshoots, Additional Guests, Wedding Preparation

• If you would like to use The Forager or any part of Twigley Farm for a professional or personal photoshoot, please arrange this with us before booking. A photoshoot fee will apply.

• If you are using The Forager for wedding preparation and would like your makeup artist (MUA), photographer, or other visitors to attend, please arrange this with us before booking. A visitor fee will apply.

Cleaning & Departure

We kindly ask that you leave The Forager as you found it.

Before you leave, please:

• Wash and return all dishes to the cupboard inside the tent.

• Turn off the air conditioner, fan & heater.

• Close all doors.

• Switch off all lights.

If additional cleaning is required after your stay, a $150.00 cleaning fee will be charged to your booking.

Amenities in our minimal kitchenette include a bar fridge/freezer, kettle, plunger coffee maker, toaster, outdoor kitchen sink, and barbecue. We stock an essentials pantry which includes ground coffee beans, black and herbal teas, salt, pepper, olive oil, and milk. Please pop into a shop for your supplies. Guests find it hard to leave once they arrive, so we recommend you do this in Brisbane or Ipswich before you arrive, or swing past the local SPAR in Marburg on your way.

Inside the tent, you’ll find a games basket, slippers, a picnic blanket, and hanging storage for your belongings. For your comfort, we have a Dyson freestanding air conditioner, a freestanding fan, and an electric heater to adjust the temperature just how you like it.

There is a fire pit with hardwood, matches and firestarters provided to help you get your fire going. If you would like extra firewood during your stay, you can purchase more at the Haigslea BP.

Our beautifully restored Outhouse has all your modern amenities, including a clawfoot bath, curbless shower, vanity, toilet, bath towels, bath robes, and Bondi Wash body soap.

• You will have The Forager and the surrounding area all to yourself, with private access and contactless self check-in and check-out.

• We live on the property in the farmhouse at the end of the driveway. We like to give you privacy, but you might see us out and about working with the animals. Feel free to say hello if you like — we are always happy to chat — but we are also happy to give you space.

• Most days at Twigley Farm are peaceful, with only the sound of birds and the breeze through the grass. However, you may sometimes hear cars, farm work (like slashing), or animals.

• Please note: there is a set of stairs at the entrance to The Forager Glamping Tent & Outhouse as well as uneven surfaces. We may not be suitable for guests with mobility issues.

• We are located on a working farm and have horses, geese, goats, and dogs on the property. You may also see local wildlife. Please consider if this will be an issue for you before booking.

• It is very important that guests have travel insurance. Very occasionally, our road may close temporarily due to flooding. Guests are responsible for their own insurance. We are not able to issue refunds or extend bookings if your plans change because of bad weather.

• Twigley Farm can be accessed by rideshare services. The nearest train station is Walloon, about a 5-minute drive away.

Our local town of Marburg is just a few minutes' drive away. While there, visit The Soul Nook Collective, Scotland Yard Antiques, and Marburg Pub.

For another classic country pub experience, head a little further to Glamorganvale for the Bottletree Hotel.

For dinner in Ipswich, we recommend Monte Lane, The Commonwealth Hotel, or Bakehouse Steakhouse.

For breakfast or a coffee break, try St Shoebill Cafe, Miss Jackson, Shortblack Coffee Co, Oikos Neighbourhood Cafe, Ellen & Rod, and Baked by Joseph & Ann.

For a truly special dining experience, just 30 minutes' drive away is Homage Restaurant at Spicers Hidden Vale, a renowned chef-hatted restaurant.

For more fun things to do, visit Summer Land Camels, The Llama Farm, Brisbane Valley Rail Trail, Ipswich Art Gallery, and Queensland Museum Rail Workshops.
