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

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!

Great location, no noise other than the sound of birds. Michael great host, house had everything we needed. Plenty of space for our dog to run - she didn't want to chase another ball by the end of our stay! Can't wait to get back again.

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!!
