South Burnett Accommodation and Weekend Getaways

The South Burnett region offers many exciting and unique attractions and experiences. We welcome over 65,000 visitors every year from all over Queensland, Australia and overseas. The Burke and Wills Motor Inn at Kingaroy is centrally located to take advantage of the many activities in the South Burnett region. For our latest accommodation specials, click here.

Our region is probably best known for peanuts (Kingaroy is famous as the “Peanut Capital of Australia!”), the Bunya Mountains National Park and wineries; however, we also have a diverse range of other experiences.

Festivals, Wineries and Fun!

During the past decade the South Burnett has developed into one of the largest wine producing regions in Queensland.  We now have numerous multi award-winning wineries complemented by a string of cellar doors.

Our beautiful Bunya Mountains National Park - the largest natural bunya pine forest anywhere in the world - draws visitors all year round to experience the awesome prehistoric beauty and prolific wildlife.

The South Burnett is the stage for a number of major annual festivals which draw visitors from all over Australia.  They include Nanango Funfest, the iconic Peanut Festival,  Wine and Food in the Park Festival, Burrandowan Races, Wondai Garden Expos (Autumn and Spring)  and the Dairy Museum 'Kids Kapers' to list just a few.

We have a thriving art and craft industry, producing everything from pottery to clothing.  An extensive range of local art and craft is available at the region's Visitor Information Centres and Art Galleries.

Yet with all this variety, many people are surprised to find that we are only a 2.5 hour drive from Brisbane or the Sunshine Coast, and only a little over 3.5 hours drive from the Gold Coast.  This makes our region easily accessible for a weekend getaway, a long weekend break or a more extensive holiday. At the Burke and Wills Motor Inn, we cater for couples and families in our accommodation rooms.
