Romantic weekend getaways in Ipswich, Queensland

If you are looking for a romantic weekend getaway in Qld, there is no better location than Woodlands of Marburg. We are situated in 250 acres of beautiful sweeping countryside overlooking the picturesque Marburg Valley, with flowing manicured lawns, glorious garden beds and stands of beautiful jacarandas.

Just imagine wandering through our gardens, early in the evening, watching as the sun sets and then strolling into our historic mansion, built in 1890, and dining in our first class restaurant with red cedar walls, fabulous chandeliers and romantic fireplaces.

At Woodlands of Marburg we are the perfect setting for a truly, wonderful romantic weekend getaway. Here you will enter a world of timeless elegance, mixed with all the modern conveniences you require. Spend your weekend in Bougainvillea House, one of our accommodation buildings, where we offer traditional deluxe and executive rooms with beautiful views over our gardens. 

We have a half-size Olympic swimming pool if you want to take an early morning, refreshing dip, tennis courts if you want to build up a sweat and of course, the Woodlands of Marburg Winery just next door. You can taste our home grown wines in our restaurant and even purchase bottles to take home.

Everything you need in a romantic weekend getaway is here at Woodlands of Marburg. Tale a stroll through our lush gardens and rolling hills and pop into our very own chapel, a heritage listed building overlooking the quaint township of Marburg. Recently restored to its old world charm, we host many wedding ceremonies in our beautiful chapel.

The history of Woodlands is one of a pioneer spirit, with the mansion being the home of the Smith family from 1890. Moving from a timber producer to sugar cane, then to a rum distillery, the property was sold in 1944 to the Order of the Divine Word and used as a rest home. In 1986, it was bought by Ipswich Grammar School and was used for personal development courses, then in 2002 it was purchased by the Cooper family, who are the current owners and have lovingly restored the estate.
