Cottage was just magic. Driveway a challenge for older people when taxis can not pick up closer to you. Too steep for elderly folks. But loved loved the cottage & location. Really enjoyed our short stay. 5 star + Thanks again

Lovely Property and awesome hospitality
Modern and very clean guesthouse. Beds were snuggly and I imagine would be delicious in winter. The breakfast provided was superb. Check in super easy and directions accurate. Spacious with a great deck to listen to the birds. In fact, I have already rebooked to take other guests next year. Looking forward to it.

Girls trip
Flew interstate for a friends wedding, rented ‘On Burgum Pond’ Guesthouse for 3 nights with some friends. Very comfortable stay for 3 adults. With a large kitchen/living area, 2 separate walk in robes and 2 ensuites, it is perfect for getting ready for a wedding or event. Just 5-10mins drive to the supermarket and local cafe strip. Perfect location for a tranquil getaway. The property was clean and well maintained. No issues had during our stay. The owners were incredibly kind, providing a breakfast hamper with freshly baked bread, eggs, fruit and spreads which lasted our entire trip. Lovely view of the pond off the back deck. Would recommend if staying in Maleny or visiting Sunshine Coast.

This holiday was wonderful. The hosts were so nice and the accomodation was perfect. So much room for 4 adults, 1 kid and our little schnauzer. A wonderful breakfast hamper and a little treat for our doggy was so nice. Super close to main St Maleny. Highly recommend!!!!
