Mayes Cottage

Awesome place to have picnic with family and friends. It was a great day for us. Lot to learn about life in olden days.

I visited this place last Saturday and it was a pleasant surprise for me. I was driving through the street in front of the house at the time and was planning to inspect a nearby investment property. Suddenly, I found a lawn on top of the mountain. There are several houses in the center of the meadow, surrounded by some trees and flowers.When I drove into the land, parked the car, and approached the house, a young volunteer (a lovely girl) was already here waiting for me. She showed me around and explained everything patiently. Plus, there's an elegant lady who's been busy cleaning floors and wiping dust off items. Occasionally she would help the young girl answer some questions. It can be seen that the two of them cooperate very well.The girl accompanied me through the whole room, introduced the situation of the Mayes family, various household items from a hundred years ago, and invited me to taste the macadamia nuts from the backyard.You have to admit, it was a really wonderful experience. I plan to come again with my daughter and wife sometime. Let them also feel the beauty here.

Called into Mayes Cottage on a wet and windy Friday afternoon and it was well worth the effort. The lady who showed us around was very enthusiastic and informative, so well done to all the volunteers and City of Logan for keeping the history alive.

A lovely little museum in Logan City area with a wonderful story. One of my favourite places to visit. Lovely and friendly volunteers, and a great place for children.

What a wonderful day again with volunteering Gold Coast. You should definitely go to Mayes cottage. Its a sight for sore eyes

We had an excellent time learning the history of Mayes Cottage. Teleea was an awesome tour guide. Grandchildren and I enjoyed the experience.

An informative wander through a small slice of the past. So lovely to see that places like this still exist. The ladies were full of facts and information about the house and it's former tenants. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to see the actual past, today.

Lovely time today at the 150 year old Mayes Cottage with 3 grandchildren. The grounds and house delightful respite from heat. Informative friendly staff guided us through the historic Cottage full of history and memorabilia from the Mayes family.The children learnt so much and were given activities packs to take home.All in all a great adventure in school holidays.And it is Free!

I travelled 1.5hours to be here and its totally worth it. Its small and takes a max of 30mins to tour this place. But its free entrance n we'll maintaines by the friendly staff. Yvonne explained the history of the house n show me around. This place is kept in uts original state and definitely a rare find. Do visit and support this place.

This place was incredible! What a wonderful step back in time.Thank you for the lovely staff who also took us around. The kids loved the big open spaces around the house to run around too.
