We've stayed at this lodge aeveral times before. The staff and management are always helpful and courteous. The room is spacious comfortable and clean. The grounds are tidy and it's lovely sitting outside watching the world go by.
Super clean, freshly renovated, beautiful grounds, well kept, very friendly staff, agood breakfast.. incredible value - we loved our stay and will be back!
The room was lovely, so we'll put together, spacious, and clean. The pool was beautiful and clean too, and had pool towels - just something you didn't need to think of which is great. The staff were thoughtful and considerate and asked about what we might need. Overall it was great, a lovely place to visit.
Perfect staycation! Property is beautiful. The receptionist on check in was welcoming and very helpful, booking us courtesy bus to the pub for dinner. Waking up and seeing such lush greenery outside the patio was very satisfying. The room was cosy. Will definitely visit again.
Great place to stay, beds were comfortable and very clean

Malanda Lodge was the perfect overnight stay in Malanda. Staff were extremely helpful, rooms were decorated with thoughtful touches, and it was lovely and peaceful. I would not hesitate to stay there again if I ever return to the area.

Beautiful location, very friendly & welcoming staff, comfortable room and an amazing shower.
We had a late check in and it was no trouble at all. Waking up to beautiful grounds just added to the magic of this place. I would definitely stay here again if I returned to the area.
Absolutely stunning little lodge. Very friendly, extremely clean rooms and surrounding area. Love the homestead feel with the special little decor touches. HIGHLY reccomend staying here.
