About this property

Kookaburra Cottage - 2 Bedroom, 2 Bathroom Cottage with Lake View

Nestled among the rain forest trees on a 5-acre property overlooking a small lake. Relax and unwind on the large deck and soak up the sounds of nature in this peaceful and tranquil bush setting. The property is close to town, the golf course and Baroon Pocket Dam. Enjoy a delicious breakfast featuring locally sourced products before exploring the surrounding area. Let us be your home away from home!

Kookaburra is a two-bedroom, two-bathroom house providing a modern, clean and quiet living space in a garden setting. The front door opens into the open plan kitchen-dining-lounge area. The kitchen has high end appliances, with ample cupboard and stone benchtop space.

The back wall of the living area is made up of a full width window and sliding door that opens up on to the large deck overlooking the lake.

Both bedrooms have sliding door access to the deck and overlook the lake, the rain forest and macadamia tree and both have their own ensuite bathroom with large shower. Bedroom 1 has a Queen bed. Bedroom 2 has 1 x double and 1 x single bed.

There is a wood burning stove in the living area and enough wood for the cold nights in winter is provided. There are also reverse-cycle air-conditioners in the bedrooms.

* We provide a delicious breakfast basket filled with local and home-made produce. From freshly baked bread, croissants and pastries to eggs from our chickens and fresh local seasonal fruit to milk and yoghurt from Maleny's award-winning dairy and cheese factory; breakfast at On Burgum Pond is the perfect way to start your day.

* If you require more wood, you are able to purchase from us, IGA, Woolworths and the Service Stations.

* Our property is semi-rural and is not on town water or sewerage. Our water comes from rainwater tanks, and we have a wastewater treatment plant. The house has its own tank, and the water is filtered, so perfectly safe to drink.

* As we are semi-rural and part of a wildlife corridor, the property is not fenced. We also ask that dogs remain on lead at all times when on the grounds as we have an abundance of bird and wildlife on the property.
We allow a maximum of 2 pets (but can be flexible depending on size and cottage).

* There are pasture-fed free range chickens on the property.

Cottage was just magic. Driveway a challenge for older people when taxis can not pick up closer to you. Too steep for elderly folks. But loved loved the cottage & location. Really enjoyed our short stay. 5 star + Thanks again

Mother's day long weekend away

Absolutely fabulous place to stay. Immaculate cottage with all you need. Bed & pillows were amazingly comfortable. Lovely views & a great log fire which was easy to light. Lovely breakfast & goodies all stocked up & was even offered more home cooked bread if we wanted. Great location a few minutes drive to township. Hosts very nice & friendly. All in all a fabulous place to stay. Hope to return one day.

Lovely Property and awesome hospitality

Modern and very clean guesthouse. Beds were snuggly and I imagine would be delicious in winter. The breakfast provided was superb. Check in super easy and directions accurate. Spacious with a great deck to listen to the birds. In fact, I have already rebooked to take other guests next year. Looking forward to it.

Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy
The worst location I have ever stayed in.The apartment is tiny, like really tiny. After putting our bags down, there was barely enough room to stand. There is also no seating other than the bed. Walking into the room gives an immediate damp smell, and mold can be seen around the air vent. The location is terrible. The apartment sits meters away from a very busy street and there is no soundproofing. You hear every single car as if you were right next to it at all hours of the night. Being next to a police station also means constant sirens and yelling at all hours.The bed is the worse part. We arrived to dirty sheets with stains and the previous guests hairs all over. Taking off the sheets showed the worst mattress I have ever seen, with all manor of bodily fluid stains. These stains are all over the pillows. The bed frame is not screwed together, the metal has just been placed, so it was constantly falling apart and moving the mattress. I left this apartment with 6 insect bites, more than I have ever gotten in such a short duration.The shower head is broken and shoots water out at every angle, good luck having a relaxing shower.Overall, do not stay at this apartment, it will ruin your holiday. I am shocked that they were comfortable even advertising this location and allowing people to stay. I feel completely ripped off that I had to pay any amount of money for this and will be seeking some sort of refund.

Girls trip

Flew interstate for a friends wedding, rented ‘On Burgum Pond’ Guesthouse for 3 nights with some friends. Very comfortable stay for 3 adults. With a large kitchen/living area, 2 separate walk in robes and 2 ensuites, it is perfect for getting ready for a wedding or event. Just 5-10mins drive to the supermarket and local cafe strip. Perfect location for a tranquil getaway. The property was clean and well maintained. No issues had during our stay. The owners were incredibly kind, providing a breakfast hamper with freshly baked bread, eggs, fruit and spreads which lasted our entire trip. Lovely view of the pond off the back deck. Would recommend if staying in Maleny or visiting Sunshine Coast.
