Maiala Park Lodge

The location was beautiful with a nice view

I got there from an interstate flight. When I arrived there was no food or meal. When i questioned this I was told that I had to book the dinner or confirm dinner 4 days before hand. I hired a car to get there and was driving up a windy road with fog and wet roads. It was getting dark so I headed directly to the lodge. To be greated that way and told there was absolutely nothing for me to eat was in my view unacceptable. The closest supermarket was a 20 minute drive down the hill. I also didnt like how I was made to feel my request was unreasonable. FInally, the room smelt musty and there was mould on the bathroom curtains. I also wasnt told that there was a hot water bottle I could access when it wa really cold when I arrived. ALl is all little respect for the client.

Beautiful house. Classic Queenslander. Spacious, airy and elegant.

This isn’t meant as a criticism but the house is 20 minutes from the nearest shops. You need to stock up on anything you might need before you arrive. There is no restaurant but you can preorder a home cooked breakfast or dinner. You need to bring your own wine. There are however two cafes nearby.

It is a beautifully situated property, with old-school charm. The room was charming, had a comfortable bed, facilities to make a cuppa, and a lovely bathroom. Host, Lucy, was welcoming and accommodating. She made everything feel easy and no problem. Like meeting an old friend. The property is a 5 minute drive to some excellent rain forest walks.

Only one thing: the bath tub. In my room, it is a half size tub. I still thought I’d be able to sit comfortably in it, but it was quite cramped. I persevered though, and still managed a decent soak.

Loved it, will be back!

One tiny thing: a small UHT milk in the room fridge would have allowed me to make coffee in-room.

Maiala Park Lodge was such a lovely place to stay. The room was amazing, very comfortable and cosy with an exceptional view. The home made biscuits were a lovely touch. I'll definitely be back!

I felt the grazing plate and breakfast were a little overpriced. Coffee with breakfast would have been amazing.

Beautiful property. Ideal location. Our style of furnishings.

Was difficult to know exactly what facilities were available for us. We only realised that we could have accessed the kitchen on arrival. We were directed to the local cafe over the phone.

Absence of owners with no effort to welcome to gréer us us , no effort on to interact with their clients, ask if all was ok, to say goodbye, nothing. In a remote location, breakfast should be available but the only thing we had was a room , a fridge and a kettle which was nice. People traveling normally do not carry their céréale, milk and Bread with them so this was unacceptable to me. Request to réservé dinner 4 nights prior to stay is ridiculous. When asked two days ahead if we could possibly have dinner one of the nights but possibly share a meal, it appeared to be a huge issue and the only thing offered was pumpkins soup, for the entire meal. No désire to accommodate, or to make a simple meal. Being a gracions hostess in this LODGE is definitely not a priorité for the owners.

Stunning location, helpful hosts, beautiful rooms, immaculately clean

Beautiful hosts in an exquisite part of Queensland. Beautifully designed individual rooms, catering was delicious.
