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.

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.

Absolutely stunning place. We came with our dog and she had a fantastic time. The pictures don't do the place justice and Michael was lovely, making sure we found the place and didn't get lost!

Quiet, secluded and everything you need!
A very well presented and clean property with a beautiful view over the valley and hills. So great that we could bring our little dogs. Beds very comfortable with nice linen. Would be extra spectacular when Jacarandas are in bloom!

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.

Birdsong and incredible views
Our third visit did not disappoint. While actually quite close to Mapleton, it feels very secluded. Beautiful views and birdlife. Michael, the host, was very helpful when trying to sort out some logisitcs.
