Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The room was clean and had beautiful decor and a view. The toiletries were high quality! Staff were very friendly. Place was very very quiet and had a great nights sleep! Breakfast was good
Beautiful grounds, pool with waterfall & jacuzzi. Very friendly helpful staff from Louise at reception to bothhousekeepers & the gardener. Lovely breakfast
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.
Super clean, freshly renovated, beautiful grounds, well kept, very friendly staff, agood breakfast.. incredible value - we loved our stay and will be back!
Floors were still wet after mopping when we arrived at 3pm, sticky feet for kids. Room ok but no grab rail from basic slippy shower, high step. Continental breakfast was the worst I've come across despite my travels on a budget in Eastern Europe.
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.
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.
What a lovely surprise to walk into our room. The photos of the accommodation looked lovely but the reality was even better. Check in was very welcoming and the relaxed atmosphere of the place made for a great stay.
We have stayed at this property several times before and we are never disappointed. Staff are always friendly and helpful. Rooms are comfortable and clean.
The only suggestion is to have a pillow menu as the pillows were too hard and too high.
