Malanda Lodge

Excellent customer service. Very friendly. Highly recommend.

Loved the setting amongst the trees in the rural neighbourhood.

Lovely place to stay in Malanda with comfortable bed and gorgeous lush nature surrounds

Lovely grounds close to Malanda. Breakfast included

There was nobody there when we tried to check in so we had to leave & come back later that night.

Panoramic view over very large lawn and trees. Very relaxing

We stayed one night only on our way through to the coast, and the room was very homy and comfortable. (The beds could use a little attention though) The decor was nice, lots of little touches that made it like home, and our patio looked out onto beautiful parklands and a creek. Staff were lovely. Parking easy, and easy to find. Out room (17) was so quiet except for the birdlife etc. A complimentary continental breakfast is offered, with toast, instant coffee, some fruit, cereal, but please be wary if you have dietary requirements to clarify what your needs are. Iy is easy to communicate with management. Will stay again.

Malanda Lodge was almost through some upgrades when we stayed for 2 nights, so some valued-by- many features (like in house dining) were not available, that was not the slightest problem as we used their kitchenette facilities, which is how we like to travel other than for 'special nights'. Our room wsas great except for a bit of nise around dawn with those ever - present trucks, but we have experienced much worse. Also the entrance drive required a bit of concentration, but again no big deal. It was a great base for the rest of our Tablelands adventures before we headed south west to Undara Lava Tubes, after making max use of those wonderful little intelocking roads around Atherton, Milla Milla, Malanda, Yungaburra, Gillies and Palmerston Highways, Tinaburra, Herberton and Ravenshoe. 3 nearby windfarms, but none working. Do the locals still have some influence?? Lee was an excellent, friendly and helpful host, and the only other slight (very) downside was the somewhat less than excellent staircase up to our large, well furnished apartment. Would definitely recommend, and stay again. alan and barb

I stayed with my family for a digital detox weekend. This lovely accomodation had all the right elements for a tablelands location. There was the beautiful fireplace in the restaurant and bar area, all surrounded with a beautiful pool and rainforest charm. The managers and staff do anything they can to help you be comfortable and welcome. The rooms are so nice and cosy for the cooler climate conditions. The shower was great, the room very clean, the modern warm brickwork gave a lovely country feel. The air conditioner worked fabulously, the patio was perfect and lovely. Security was excellent with screen doors and the front door. They had very well maintained carpet. I think I prefer this to hard floors. The tiny kitchenette was pleasing with a microwave and fridge and plenty of amenities. The beds were really comfy. This is one of the few gems left that offer a complimentary breakfast. It’s not a full fancy breakfast, as it is free. But they have a variety of breads, and spreads, adequate fruits, cereals, juice and basic hot drinks. This is lovely to kick start the day. I do not feel fancy food is needed when you get it free. The rooms rates are very good value in my opinion. I enjoyed the large grounds, as did many families! The pool is perfect. The restaurant was lovely and popular. There are BBQs right near the rooms. They even do “church” on a Sunday at 10.30 if you like fellowship. Do not expect high quality wifi. This is not the hotels fault. It’s the remote location.

Great room with a view over the gardens. The rooms are above average size ( Room size 291 ft²) and were clean and comfortable. Facilities include an on-site restaurant, a licensed bar with reasonable prices, and a pool.
