About this space

Clayfield Cottage is a lovingly restored 1920s Queenslander set on 20 acres of peaceful, creekside land—just 15 minutes from Coolangatta Airport, but worlds away from the pace of the city. With a backdrop of paddocks, dams, and native wildlife, this historic home and rural property is a shoot location full of charm, texture, and timeless Queensland character.

The cottage itself features three bedrooms, a stunning bay window in the living area, and a thoughtfully renovated bathroom with encaustic tiles and a restored clawfoot bath. A second clawfoot tub can be found in the rustic outdoor bathhouse—perfect for capturing slow, dreamy content framed by garden greens and golden hour light.

The kitchen is bespoke and rich in detail, with a Dolomite stone benchtop, farmhouse sink, and a retro black fridge—all set against warm timber tones. Styled in a way that feels both authentic and quietly elevated, it’s ideal for interiors shoots, lifestyle content, food styling, or character-led storytelling.

A covered verandah wraps around the home, offering open-air dining at a scrubbed pine table that overlooks the dams and paddocks below. With families of kangaroos frequently grazing nearby, and birdsong filtering through the trees, the energy of the space is grounded, slow, and deeply connected to nature.

Outdoors, the property extends into lush garden zones, grassy flats, a fire pit, and wide skies. There’s also a collection of beautifully restored 1960s–70s vintage Datsuns on-site—available for use by negotiation—which adds a layer of nostalgia and visual edge for automotive, fashion, or editorial projects.

With horses, chickens, rescue steers, and friendly dogs roaming the land, Clayfield Cottage delivers an authentic rural Queensland setting with versatility across styles—suitable for everything from film and photography to content creation, workshops, and styled brand shoots.
