Dramatic sustainable house designed for relaxed holiday living by Mapleton local Philip Boorman who has many awards for his outstanding Architectural work and 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 expansive surrounding valley and mountains 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.
The original survey plan of 1904 noted:
"All the country here on shown is of an Extremely Rugged and Broken nature."
This rugged landscape has protected the area from 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, to thrive.
Location
The Lodge is located 3 mins to the mountain village of Mapleton and:
10 mins to the vibrant village of Montville
30 mins to the world famous Eumundi Markets
30 mins to the beaches of the Sunshine Coast - Coolum Beach, Maroochydore, Alexandra Headlands and Mooloolaba
40 mins to Noosa
1.5 hrs to the north of Brisbane
- "If you want tranquility this is the one. Just left alone to look out over acres of beautiful mountains and bush land. Highly recommended" - "Second stay here this year and cannot wait to go back." - "Our second time back and we’ll be back again! A little pocket of paradise. Highly recommend! Good for the soul!!" - "We were a bit surprised about the long steep driveway on arrival, but in a good way. It is a long way into the bush and you are completely alone and away from the world, but only a short drive to the Mapleton Pub for dinner and supplies. The beds were comfortable, and the fire was lovely. One minor thing - not enough seating in the lounge room making conversation amongst friends awkward without pulling over kitchen or outdoor chairs. A second comfy couch would make it perfect."

French Cottage & Loft (close to Montville) has loads of character and is the holiday home of a Brisbane restaurant family. Ideal for three families with kids, multigenerational family get-togethers and accommodation for local weddings. It features quality beds, a log fire and firepit, plus a gourmet kitchen where you can use the herbs and fruit from the garden. A dining gazebo overlooks one acre of stunning gardens and coastal views. You have total privacy -- a Petanque court, and lots of secret places to discover for the kids. 30 minutes to the beach.
Your opportunity to totally get away from it all ... enjoy food, wine and laughter.
Unfortunately, I am unable to allow even small weddings due to the location of the house.
- "We celebrated our mum’s 90th birthday here and it was everything we wanted. Spacious, full of charm, so well equipped. We loved sitting around the outdoor table soaking in the view and listening to the birds. We plan to be back for many other celebrations." - "Great for a group getaway. Very well equiped kitchen.

A secluded home built from the remains of an early 20th century country hotel, Baxter's has been a caretaker of friends, families, artists, thinkers and anyone who enjoys following the arc of the sun.
Baxter Lodge offers peaceful and spacious quarters for either a couple, group or family to recharge, rejoice and reconnect with the simple pleasures of life.
The Master bedroom… you won’t want to leave. Sleep, daydream, write, open the double French doors. Repeat. King bed with king pillows with views North and East, this room can be as light or as dark as you like. A gorgeous old chaise lounge and robe for either weekend flings or longer stays ensure you feel at home here, no matter your stay.
The Second Room… is a little bit special. A quiet retreat with double windows on two sides to either let that sunrise and mountain air in, or curl up in the dark and listen to the rain for another hour.
The Third Room… is for the sleepers (or the kids) being the darkest room of the house. Twin Rosenstengel beds flank a window that brings the outdoors in. An antique lowboy provides ample storage, ensuring all the comforts of home. And yes if needs be we can setup the beds side by side.
Every room, from the plush wooden carpet underfoot to the gentle stir of the ceiling fan above, invites you to unwind. The windows, equipped with fly screens, offer views of the lush surroundings, all easily enjoyed from a central brick hallway that opens into a vast living and dining space. Here, exposed brick floors and sprawling timber ceilings encapsulate the rustic charm of Baxter Lodge. For your entertainment, a record player, Bluetooth speaker, Samsung Frame TV, and a selection of board games promise well spent evenings.
The large bathroom with shower and clawfoot bath is perfect for dressing up or dressing down; the rear courtyard and firepit faces West for filtered Sunsets; and the huge kitchen with fireplace and central island is ideal for curated plates and conversation.
Outdoors the North facing deck is an entertainer’s dream, with a dining table that seats 8-10 guests that looks out into our favourite forest of Mapleton green. Just steps away, explore the gardens perfect for wanderings and wonderings and (weeding!) though guests with toddlers or younger will need to keep a watchful eye as there are no railings. Hopefully the double hanging chair and double daybed ensures plenty of relaxing/reading options for little legs (and yours) at this tranquil retreat.

- "Good property for a group. Few things missing ie ironing board, washing line, extra towels. Travelling with more than one infant for a longer period of time would have been a challenge. No basic condiments. Fridge small for the max number of people this house sleeps. Fire pit was great but take wood for the fire. Not enough wine/champagne glasses." - "Beautiful house. Issues with keys, and unable to speak to a person. Communication by email or text which was relatively quick, but a person would have been better. Two fireplaces, but wood not necessarily available. A couple of cleaning issues, but nothing major. Would stay again. Close to everything and those views!!"

A secluded home built from the remains of an early 20th century country hotel, Baxter's has been a caretaker of friends, families, artists, thinkers and anyone who enjoys following the arc of the sun.
The space
Baxter Lodge offers peaceful and spacious quarters for either a couple, group or family to recharge, rejoice and reconnect with the simple pleasures of life.
The Master bedroom… you won’t want to leave. Sleep, daydream, write, open the double French doors. Repeat. King bed with king pillows with views North and East, this room can be as light or as dark as you like. A gorgeous old chaise lounge and robe for either weekend flings or longer stays ensure you feel at home here, no matter your stay.
The Second Room… is a little bit special. A quiet retreat with double windows on two sides to either let that sunrise and mountain air in, or curl up in the dark and listen to the rain for another hour.
The Third Room… is for the sleepers (or the kids) being the darkest room of the house. Twin Rosenstengel beds flank a window that brings the outdoors in. An antique lowboy provides ample storage, ensuring all the comforts of home. And yes if needs be we can setup the beds side by side.
Every room, from the plush wooden carpet underfoot to the gentle stir of the ceiling fan above, invites you to unwind. The windows, equipped with fly screens, offer views of the lush surroundings, all easily enjoyed from a central brick hallway that opens into a vast living and dining space. Here, exposed brick floors and sprawling timber ceilings encapsulate the rustic charm of Baxter Lodge. For your entertainment, a record player, Bluetooth speaker, Samsung Frame TV, and a selection of board games promise well spent evenings.
The large bathroom with shower and clawfoot bath is perfect for dressing up or dressing down; the rear courtyard and firepit faces West for filtered Sunsets; and the huge kitchen with fireplace and central island is ideal for curated plates and conversation.
Outdoors the North facing deck is an entertainer’s dream, with a dining table that seats 8-10 guests that looks out into our favourite forest of Mapleton green. Just steps away, explore the gardens perfect for wanderings and wonderings and (weeding!) though guests with toddlers or younger will need to keep a watchful eye as there are no railings. Hopefully the double hanging chair and double daybed ensures plenty of relaxing/reading options for little legs (and yours) at this tranquil retreat.
Guest access
The entire home is yours to use, though if staying by yourself (or with a chosen companion), we kindly ask you to not use the other rooms.
Other things to note
This is a house in nature surrounded by bushland so animals of all shapes and sizes will be around. Yes this means spiders and snakes which aren't everyone's taste! Just tread loudly (and carefully) around the gardens, and try and shoo out any 8 legged friends (if you're brave enough).
