Eco Lodge Mapleton

Dramatic sustainable house designed for relaxed holiday living by Mapleton local Philip Boorman who has many awards for his outstanding Architectural work and furniture designs.

Located on the escarpment in the centre of the 125 acre site. This privileged isolation has allowed the house design to be opened to the expansive surrounding valley and mountains by the extensive use of timber framed bi-fold doors and windows. Solar panels generate the power supply and roof water is collected in tanks for filtered reuse within the home.

The original survey plan of 1904 noted:
"All the country here on shown is of an Extremely Rugged and Broken nature."
This rugged landscape has protected the area from encroachment by subdivisions for over 100 years, providing flora and fauna with largely undisturbed area for species listed as endangered, such as the Coxen Fig-Parrot and the Regent Honey eater, to thrive.

Location

The Lodge is located 3 mins to the mountain village of Mapleton and:
10 mins to the vibrant village of Montville
30 mins to the world famous Eumundi Markets
30 mins to the beaches of the Sunshine Coast - Coolum Beach, Maroochydore, Alexandra Headlands and Mooloolaba
40 mins to Noosa
1.5 hrs to the north of Brisbane

Peaceful weekend away with our pup

Our stay was seamless from the start. The host met us, waited for us to get takeaway and then showed us the property. The pictures don’t do it justice, we saw owl, wallaby and heaps of wildlife. It’s not fenced but that wasn’t a problem for our pup as there were no neighbours. The property had everything we needed and was in a great location. Definitely want to return!!

Relaxing stay in beautiful setting

The lodge is well laid out and of a striking design making the most of the natural surroundings. The outdoor setting is perfect for relaxing and dining and the bedrooms very comfortable. Very convenient having 2 bathrooms and the bath with a view was very relaxing. The host could not be more helpful and our stay, despite torrential rain, was very enjoyable. Hope to return in better weather.

Relaxing getaway

We stayed here as our mountain escape after our beach adventure. It was a lovely place to chill and relax.The bird life and the crickets & cicades provided an ambient background noise (a bit too much at times, but that is nature!)It was very hot on two afternoons here, and as the property is off grid, fans sufficed to keep us cool. An extra fan or two, and extension cord would have helped!Otherwise, the property is well appointed and comfortable. We enjoyed our stay very much!

Off-grid dream property!

We have stayed at this gorgeous property twice now, and are totally addicted! Everything one could need is provided. The wood fire is wonderful for cool nights, glass doors and windows all open up to allow the fantastic views and vistas in. Complete privacy, just nature and birdsong to wake to in the mornings. Love the sense of being surrounded by wilderness, yet a couple of minutes from trendy village fares (croissants and sourdough bread, great pizza!). Outdoor enthusiasts will love the easy access to Great Walks track at top of the driveway, however just walking up the winding driveway alone is worth the effort, especially with a torch at night to spot any local wildlife! Host Michael is a perfect gentleman, friendly, helpful and completely approachable. We felt well looked after and with nothing to do other than soak up the wonderful ambience! Will be back as often as we can. If you haven’t stayed here yet, love the magical combination of nature and complete luxury, this is defintely for you!

Michael was the perfect host. Explained the functions of the house and its facilities. In its heyday it would have been an architectural statement but time has rather turned it into a faded present. The views are still to die for, the location is secluded and private and it is centrally located to explore the whole range. However the house was not as spotless as earlier guests had commented. Stained bathroom shower tray, torn screens on the bathroom windows let the horse flies and flies in to the bedroom area. The windows needed cleaning to appreciate the wonderful views. And the presence of a gas oven/stove really detracted from its environmental credentials. Despite these comments we were pleased we stayed at the eco lodge and were fortunate to experience the house at its best during one of the largest electric hail storms we have ever experienced!!!!

Mapleton Eco Lodge

What a great property. Spent a couple of nights unwinding, eating local food and just enjoying what nature has to offer. Michael was a top host and even met us to show us the property and everything in it. Definitely recommend as there are some great spots to drive nearby (Maleny, Montville and Kenilworth) and then come back and enjoy what Mapleton Eco Lodge has to offer. The photos don’t do it justice!!
