Mapleton Eco Friendly Lodge

Dramatic sustainable house designed for relaxed holiday living by Mapleton local Philip Boorman who has many awards for his outstanding Architectural work and modern 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 volume of the surrounding private space 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.

When John Seccombe obtained the land by way of the selection process in 1904 the original survey plan of the day noted that \"All the country here on shown is of an Extremely Rugged and Broken nature.\" This rugged landscape has protected the area from the 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\'s to thrive.

Location

Boorman Eco 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 and Coolum Beach
40 mins to Noosa
30 mins to the beaches of the Sunshine Coast - Maroochydore, Alexandra Headlands and Mooloolaba
1.5 hrs to the north of Brisbane

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!!

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.

Brilliant property buried in the hills near Montville Malney. The house is so relaxing and the surrounds beautiful. Sitting around the fire with a red what more could you want. The house is fully equipped with everything you need. We will definitely be back.

Nothing beats the peace and quiet and the joy of spending time with the whole family including dogs and babies. That is why we keep coming back. And it is great to tinker with a piano and try to remember my childhood lessons.

Heaven on earth
We came with our puppy Fido for our 10th wedding anniversary. We needed a total break from the real world and that was exactly what we recieved. Our friendly host Michael gave us a personal escort to this wonderful hideaway in the forest. The home, amneanities and cleanliness was outstanding, right down to the pre chopped firewood for the fire. It rained for the whole of our stay but we did not care, the low cloads and mist on the mountains views are spectacular. Thank you for allowing us to share a little piece of heaven. We will return if our host will have us again. Gabby, Brendon & Fido the wonder dog.
