What guests think

Across recent reviews, Malanda Lodge earns strong praise for a peaceful atmosphere, comfortable rooms, and genuinely friendly service, leading many guests to consider it good value and a relaxing base for the Tablelands.

Many appreciate the extensive, well kept grounds and a pleasant pool. A continental breakfast is often included and generally liked, though some guests wanted more variety or earlier start times, and the on-site restaurant is not always open. A few reviews mention drawbacks such as water-hammer noise, insects entering through door gaps, wet floors on arrival, or unattended reception at times.

Wedding anniversary weekend with our kids. There was space for them to run around and even kick a soccer ball around. The boys made friends with another boy when playing soccer. The grounds are beautiful. The weather was amazing. Would have been lovely to have dinner there too. The included breakfast was perfect.

While the rooms are similar to other motel rooms Malanda Lodge stands out with its extensive, well maintained gardens and its breakfast facilities in an impressive main building which also serves as a restaurant and reception centre. Manager and staff are helpful. The overall impression left by this motel is one of tranquillity and relaxation.

I feel terrible for having to state this as staff was very nice and accommodating, but we were BOMBARDED with bugs inside our room all night. The doors to the room are not sealed and hundreds of bugs (large and small) were crawling through the cracks. They flew around the room, crawled around the walls/ceiling, and fell into the bed. It was literally a nightmare for someone like me and I almost left and found another place to stay at 10pm. My husband killed/cleaned as many as he could and I mummified myself in a sheet until as early in the morning as we could leave. I noticed piles and piles of bugs around the entire lodge that morning, don’t know if I had missed them when we checked in or if they’re just cleaned everyday. Even if there are a large number of bugs in the area, the rooms really need to be sealed properly at the very least.
