It was a pleasure to have you stay at Lucas Parklands. Thank you for the wonderful comments and we hope to see you again.
Even though the weather prevented us from getting out and about, we spent most of our time playing board games on the deck and exploring Montville. We had a great time.
Thank you Lee for a wonderful stay. From the amazing location of the property to the wonderful help you provided with ideas of day trips and activities we could enjoy during our stay, it really was the perfect holiday for our family. We all enjoyed the house, which had plenty of space and everything we needed as well as the walking trails which were accessible right from the backyard (how easy!). We loved being so close to Montville and the thoughtful touches Lee was kind enough to provide such as the fresh herbs, cheese and snacks. Truly one of our favourite places we have stayed. Thanks again! We will be back!
rented for xmas with family. had a great time.lovely place to stay. very accomodating owners
highly recommended.

There are 4 houses on the 28 acre property which is surrounded by Kondalilla National Park so is very private. The houses are a good distance apart allowing guests enjoy their own space.
Thank you to Lee for the little touches which made our stay so pleasant, from the fresh flowers throughout the house, to the fairy lights and fresh picked herbs for us to use. What a find, minutes from town for shopping and cafes, wineries and the lake. A pleasant bush walk is on the property.
If you are lucky enough to stay here with family or friends you will love the well appointed house. So easy to access all the hinterland has to offer. Fantastic long weekend was had by all.

It was delightful to have you stay with us. So pleased you enjoyed the hinterland region, it is certainly a wonderful place to live and host guests. Welcome back.
Great house, Lee and her husband were amazing. Lee went beyond and helped make sure our stay was amazing, I can’t thank them enough for everything they did. Awesome and quick communication.
We had a wonderful stay at property. Lee was an amazing host. So helpful and gave us great things to do during our stay. The house was very well equipped with all the essentials. Will definitely stay there again. The only downside was finding out that Stayz hold the bond and do not return your bond money until 3 to 4 weeks after your stay. That to me means that you hold my bond for 2 months and earn interest on my money. I find that absolutely disgraceful and will not book with STAYZ again! Will go direct next time.
It was an excellent property. Some minor details- another bedside table and a mirror in end bedroom. More large coffee mugs. Otherwise very good place to stay.
Beautiful house in a beautiful location. Lee was the perfect host. Thank you Lee. We hope to return!

Fantastic property and wonderful host
We stayed 2 nights with a group of friends for a wedding. Plenty of room for all 6 adults and our 5 mth old. Everything was thought of fresh linen, soap, shampoo and conditioner and even cheese and crackers! Beautiful gardens and location.

A happy stay at Lucas Parklands
We spent a week staying in the new timber cladded house at Lucas Parklands. It was well equipped and well provisioned. The atmosphere was calm and quiet and although the weather was not ideal (we seemed to break the drought) we were very comfortable and there was lots to entertain us inside. The location offers lots of opportunity to explore the gorgeous countryside between Mapleton and Maleny.

Amazing property in the North Maleny hinterland
Very warm and friendly greeting from Lee the property host. Perfect introduction tour and very happy with our choice from the moment we entered the well-appointed house. Unfortunately we only booked a 1 night stay for Mother's Day trip but would love to stay and exolore longer the next time round.....

Perfect Hinterland Getaway!
Our group stayed overnight at this amazing property near Lake Baroon. All the comforts of home, but with a fabulously tranquil outlook that you won't get in the city! The kitchen was fully equipped and all the beds were comfy and linens fresh and clean. Would highly recommend this property for families or a group of friends looking to enjoy a relaxing trip away. Hope to come back again one day and explore the local area some more!
