A two night stay at the Malanda Lodge recently was an absolute pleasure. Set amongst one of the most picturesque tropical settings in North Queensland, the Lodge offers one of the best overnight stays we have experienced, Tranquil, wonderful staff, a superb continental breakfast made the stay a memorable experience. Recommend putting the Lodge at the top of your list when travelling through the Atherton Tablelands.

The room was lovely, so we'll put together, spacious, and clean. The pool was beautiful and clean too, and had pool towels - just something you didn't need to think of which is great. The staff were thoughtful and considerate and asked about what we might need. Overall it was great, a lovely place to visit.
