About this rest area

The Stanthorpe Rest Area offers a scenic and tranquil pit-stop for travelers. Positioned by Wallangarra Road and surrounded by majestic pine trees, it provides the perfect setting to rest and rejuvenate. Although it requires a small diversion through Stanthorpe to rejoin the northbound highway, the added exploration of the local township adds a charming aspect to your journey.

Venture the scenic Wallangarra Road to the Stanthorpe Rest Area, a delightful haven for road travellers. Conveniently designed for drive-through access, the area is adorned with stately pine trees offering ample shade. The excellent location offers a good set of amenities for an enjoyable pause on your journey. One minor detail to consider is that, for north-bound journeys, you will need to navigate through the charming township of Stanthorpe to rejoin the highway, as there's no right turn from Wallangarra Road onto the highway. This detour adds a touch of local flavor to your travel experience.
