Mapleton Eco Friendly Lodge
About this house rental
Located in Flaxton, this lovely house for R 3,233 per night is a fantastic option for your next vacation. 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.

We really enjoyed the spaciousness of the property. If anything, the photos undersold just how beautiful and well designed it is. We enjoyed the incredible bath tub and all enjoyed our weekend in the ambience and peace of the locality. We will be coming here again and will recommend it to friends. The property manager was very punctual and easy to talk to. Thank you very much for hosting us.

It's not just that the property does not have internet - that was known - it's that there is really no internet with 1/2 hour access for much of the day.

We have stayed at this property before and have always wanted to return but it's usually booked out with good reason! Finally we were able to book a three night stay :) Beautiful clean house, incredible views from every window, especially the main bedroom at night the stars are amazing. Comfy bed, great shower, kitchen has all the things you need. The fireplace is fabulous to have on in the evening. Our three little dogs love all the space to roam. Switch off your phone and unwind to the sounds of the bush and birds. Thank you so much to the very friendly host for everything! We cannot wait to return for our third stay.

The house has three single and one double bed, very open plan living, very neat and tidy. Kitchen with everything but a dishwasher and there's even a fireplace. It is an amazingly cared for acreage with the most serene and scenic views. Just beware that with some providers you might not have reception nor internet.

A beautiful place for a relaxing weekend getaway. We had a lovely stay and enjoyed the tranquillity of the mountains. The house was nicely laid out and built to enjoy the views. There was plenty to do in the area, and the local town had lots of lovely dining options. Our dog also enjoyed exploring in nature. The host was friendly and accommodating. Thank you Michael for a wonderful weekend away.

As soon as you arrive the stress just melts away. Perfect place to regroup. You don’t need to bring anything but food and drinks. Loved it we will be back.

If you want tranquility this is the one. Just left alone to look out over acres of beautiful mountains and bush land. Highly recommended

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.

Sensational location and state-of-the-art house.
5.0
The location was just amazing. We loved that it was just us and the sounds of wildlife. So much natural light through the house which meant we could enjoy the beautiful views everywhere. The place had everything. Shops and restaurants were not far so we could still go out and enjoy the surroundings too.
Very relaxing.

Would recommend and stay again!

My husband and I + our 2 little Frenchies stayed here for our 20th Wedding anniversary. It was amazing, the pictures don't do it justice. The scenery and the fact that you haven't got any Neighbour's makes it so relaxing. We didn't want to leave but came home feeling refreshed.
The shops are just a 5 minute drive away for everything you need. Also recommend Tapas 10 Cafe on the corner wonderful food and great hospitality plus you can take your dogs.
Thanks once again Michael, we'll definitely be back.

The photos do not do this property justice. Spectacular views that are even more impressive due to the isolation of the property. No neighbours, cars ..the only noise you hear is the sound of nature.

This beautiful house is perched on the side of a mountain. The views are spectacular & it is oh so quiet! We loved it & our 2 dogs loved the open spaces & the trot up the hill to the gate every evening. A hidden gem we hope isn’t discovered by too many too soon.

Second visit with dogs and will definitely visit again.

This is as close to the perfect escape I’ve ever had. Isolated, quiet, beautiful, everything you need to get away from real life for a while. The house was fabulous, and the location, there really are no words. Just perfection.

This was our second time staying at the Mapleton Eco-lodge. Our great memories were so vivid it was hard to imagine it being even better the second time around but it was! Michael is a wonderful host and the lodge and location are breathtaking. It was very hard to leave and we look forward to our next visit.
