Ballandean Pyramid

South of Stanthorpe is the village of Ballandean and the famous giant stone pyramid, which is built from local granite.

Nestled in the heart of the picturesque Granite Belt within easy reach of wineries and national parks, Severn River Cottages sprawls across five private and peaceful acres of Australian countryside. Bordered by pristine forest and the languid Severn River, our quiet area enjoys lots of native birds and wildlife.
