What an absolute gem. It's so beautiful and peaceful here with great views. The tranquillity is perfect. The hosts Ken and Ruth couldn't be more accommodating and friendly. I highly recommend staying here. I know we'll be back.

My wife & I flew in for an overnight stay in the hangar unit and the whole experience was absolutely fantastic. Ruth and Ken are perfect hosts - they've worked very hard to create a superb destination, and they've thought of every little detail. The property is elevated with views for miles and the sunset was spectacular.

Even if you're a relatively new pilot, Ken will provide you with detailed information so you can fly in & land with confidence.
We'll definitely be back.

Excellent property and Ken and Ruth are perfect hosts. We stayed for 2 nights in the hangar apartment which was spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The property was dry due to the lack of rain but was still very beautiful. We had the use of a car for the 2 days at no extra cost and took a drive in to Toowoomba which was also lovely. Will definitely stay again!

We flew in to Figtree in our little Sling 2 for a night away. Ken and Ruth are delightful hosts. The studio apartment and hangar facilities are first rate. We watched the beautiful sunset in peace and quiet, while we had dinner beside the fireplace. Our only visitors were the kangaroos and birds.
Whether you fly in or drive in we highly recommend staying here.

A must do!

We flew in to Fig Tree for an overnight getaway, our only regret is that we didn’t have time to stay longer.

It is clear that Ken and Ruth take great pride in their property. The gardens, air strip and accommodation are immaculately maintained and have a stunning outlook.

If you need supplies, Pittsworth is only a short (and scenic) drive away.

We greatly appreciated Ken and Ruth’s generous hospitality, they are the real deal.

We can’t wait to return.

FigTree is the perfect romantic getaway for the adventurer. Beautiful scenery, very peaceful and amazing hosts! We were lucky and got to see amazing stargazing including shooting stars. The woodfire inside the silo kept us very warm all night long! Hopefully, we will be able to visit the place again soon. Thanks!

Fig Tree is an excellent choice if you like to camp in a beautiful rural environment with plenty of well-managed natural vegetation around you, and lots of sweeping views of the Darling Downs. Ruth and Ken are very friendly and helpful hosts and made our recent four day stay in our camper van enjoyable - despite some inclement weather on two of those days. The days that were sunny showed the true beauty of the location, and we walked all around the perimeter of the camping area, which enabled us to see the panorama of the Downs landscape. The sunsets are beautiful to enjoy from sheltered positions with a glass of something enjoyable in your hand!

We were looking for a short Fly-In stay and were excited to come across FigTree Country Retreat. The booking process was smooth and flexible and once landed, we were welcomed and settled in, instantly. The Hangar apartment is just delightful for short (or longer) stays and generously equipped with all the comforts. The property itself is ‘picture postcard’ from dawn through to dusk - we sat with our wine and snacks enjoying a sunset vista over the Darling Downs followed by dinner al fresco, under the sparkling stars with the warmth of the fire pit.

Thank you Ruth and Ken for your hospitality. We would love to stop by, again.
