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 some initial breakfast provisions including freshly baked bread, milk and yoghurt from Maleny's award-winning dairy and cheese factory, jam & marmalade & a selection of tea and coffee pods.
* 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.
* Pets are allowed and we charge a pet fee. As we are semi-rural and part of a wildlife corridor, the greater property is not fenced, and all dogs are to remain on lead at all times when on the grounds. Kookaburra's back deck is fenced.
* There are pasture-fed free range chickens on the property.

Thoroughly enjoyed the location and atmosphere at the kookaburra cottage. Was everything it said it would be. Our grandson loved seeing the chickens. We all loved the complimentary breakfast.
This was the second time I have taken friends to stay here. As always, the property was spotless, comfortable, quiet and private. The breakfast hampers are always great and we even stretched our to last for two mornings!
We will definitely be back, absolutely stunning. Loved that we could take our 2 small dogs, the hosts we so accomodating .. The fresh morning bread and beautiful eggs were a great start to our day 😊
Had the absolute best time in this accommodation enough bathrooms for all of us everything was clean and organise property manages a call away and so lovely to talk to driveway was a challenge however didn’t take away from the amazing view and feel of this place
Very very happy with the property. The 'welcome' basket was amazing and very much appreciated. Everything was spot on, didn't want for anything.
Thank you!
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.
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.
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
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.
Linda and Anthony were great hosts, amazing accommodation easy communication and they have thought of everything you might need for your stay. Easy check in with the guesthouse having 2 bathrooms so that was an extra luxury for our daughter. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for amazing accommodation in maleny for your stay
