What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Maleny Lodge has evolved along with the town: this private home, constructed in 1905, is now the heart of a small and tastefully luxurious hotel.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Located on leafy Maple Street, local bakeries, craft breweries, and antique shops are steps away across Maleny village.
The rooms
Shiplap walls, flax linen bedding, and artisan tiles define the accommodations, each fitted with deep soaking or clawfoot bathtubs.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The magnesium swimming pool sits among manicured hedges and native trees, bordered by striped fringed umbrellas.
How it began
Built in 1905 as a private family homestead named Rosedale, the property has welcomed travelers as a guesthouse since the 1940s.
