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

The vacation home features a kitchen and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can expect to find a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a sofa bed, and a coffee maker.

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!!!!

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!!
