Welcome to Bunnyconnellen, where the fresh country air, olive grove and Moreton Bay Fig trees create the perfect ambiance for that Sunday afternoon live music and chill, that long lunch function or even for your rustic country wedding.

Specialising in weddings, functions and events, Bunnyconnellen offers all the modern conveniences of a city venue, with all the charm of a rustic country setting.  Talk to us about how we can help create the ultimate event for you, whether it’s a formal occasion, or a relaxed rustic location you’re after, we cater for it all.

Forming part of the High Country Hamlets, Bunnyconnellen is proud to be a part of this collection of communities offering a rich mix of local artisanal producers, captivating stores and exceptional chefs, showcasing the best of the region.

Where we are

Nestled in the rolling hills of the Darling Downs High Country, a short drive from Toowoomba, Bunnyconnellen sits in a micro region of Queensland that boasts fine food, stunning scenery and ample opportunity to be immersed in nature.

Handy enough for a day trip, yet far enough for a quick weekend getaway, Crows Nest is located only 45 minutes from Toowoomba and an easy two hour drive from Brisbane. 

With an abundance of activities on our doorstep, you might find one day is just not enough time to spend in The High Country Hamlets, with amazing natural wonders to see at the Crows Nest Falls, or Ravensbourne National Park. You can also hop over to the Bunya Mountains to spend a refreshing walk under the large Bunya Pines, or even discover some of the lakes nearby.

Our top spots for visiting in our area:

  1. Dine in at Myrtille Bistro or stock up on delicious pastries at My Little Blueberry
  2. Beutel’s Lookout, Ravensbourne National Park
  3. Breakfast at Harpers Country
  4. Cars and Coffee at the Crows Nest Tourist Park once a month, with house-baked treats from the Curly Carrot
  5. Water activities at Lake Perseverance or Lake Cressbrook
  6. Check out the Cuckoo clocks at Cabarlah
  7. Pick blueberries at Hampton Blue (seasonal)
  8. Spot local wildlife at any number of the picnic spots dotted along the way
  9. Saddle up and enjoy a trail ride at Cowboy Up
  10. Browse the specialty stores at the newly renovated Nolans Block

Bunnyconnellen is owned and run by Kate Stewart-Moore & partner Oliver Hinds, supported by previous owners Ann & Ninian Stewart-Moore. As lifetime graziers, the Stewart-Moore’s have been dedicated to sharing their connection to the land with their visitors, and Bunnyconnellen has proved to be the perfect place to showcase this paddock to plate experience. With Oliver’s family background in hospitality and Kate’s passion for beautiful events, the two have transformed Bunnyconnellen to one of the region’s premier function & events venue.

Bunnyconnellen was originally a dairy farm called ‘Hillview’ and there are even some of the original dairy structures standing today. The old machinery shed is now the main reception area, affectionately called “The Shed”. recently undergone renovations to encompass the stunning view overlooking the rolling hills of the valley. The vision to convert the property from working farm into a “little Tuscany” was by previous owners, P. and J. Simmonds, who changed the name to Bunnyconnellen after “Bunnyconnellan” in Myrtleville, Ireland.

Your evening is full of laughter, raised glasses, heartfelt speeches and cherished moments, followed by a night of dancing under the stars.
