They are linked to the main house by a covered walk way through the rose garden or guests can follow wandering paths to the main entrance. The Granite Belt, where Das Helwig Haus is situated, has long been a popular winter getaway for Queenslanders, and many people are now discovering the delights of this lush mountain region during the warmer months. The cool summer nights rarely reach 20 degrees and are a welcome relief from the heat and humidity of the coast. In fact, the Helwig's superb cottage garden is a remarkable display of northern hemisphere plants not normally seen in Queensland, thanks to the region' s cooler climate. Add a flock of foraging geese, and you have a scene straight out of a European guide book.
