A place to stay, gather and create in the heart of Queensland's Western Downs.

SHARING OUR SLICE OF COUNTRY

Welcome to The Dusty Chook

Just outside Chinchilla, The Dusty Chook is a place where country charm, creativity and connection come together.

Set across 40 acres in Queensland's Western Downs, we're proud to share a little of what makes our slice of country special — from memorable celebrations and hands-on creative experiences to a new way to stay, coming in early 2027.

STAY A LITTLE LONGER

A country escape worth staying for.

Experience a little more of The Dusty Chook with our new eco safari tent accommodation, planned to open in early 2027.

Set amongst 40 acres of country charm, each stay will offer the opportunity to slow down and unwind, with private ensuites, spas and firepits adding a touch of comfort.
