Really good accommodation for a group of 6 adults and three children. Can recommend - lots of space and activities, table tennis, billiards, great outdoor space, animals to feed and so enjoyed our morning and sunset walks on surrounding country roads. Would love to visit again.
Tranquil, relaxed, fun filled farm house hide away, with lots to keep adults, teens & kids busy during your stay, teenagers loved upstairs lodge and so many lovely spots in the garden to enjoy some peace and quiet & the lil ones adored all the very cute four legged friends at the farm & loved feeding them carrots, lovley relaxing holiday in a lovely small town.
We were 10 adults and few kids. There was space for everyone easily.

Fantastic homely property which was great for a family weekend away
We had a fantastic stay at Maple Lodge with 9 adults and 4 kids all fitting comfortably and plenty to keep the kids occupied - from the pizza oven, the animals, plenty of room to play cricket and great spots for an Easter egg hunt.
Carmen was a fantastic host with great communication before, during and after our stay.
It was a memorable weekend with the family and one we will cherish forever.

Hi Kate, thank you so much for your excellent review. We are so happy to see that you enjoyed the animals, making pizza in the outdoor pizza oven and the grounds! You and your lovely family are welcome back to The Maple Lodge any time.
Delightful setting with farm animals that the kids loved feeding. Spacious accommodation - ample for our 3 families. The outdoor pizza oven was a hit! Perfect location for exploring lesser (and better) frequented areas of the Southern Highlands
We had a lovely relaxed stay at this charming Country property. Summer what has he been doing these last couple of days to get read a little bit hasn't well test
Lovely little find, great place to relax with friends and explore the region for a few days (waterfalls, cheese factory etc)
Carmen was so friendly and communications were great.
Make sure to bring/buy plenty of firewood coz the pizza oven is amazing and the wood heater inside keeps everything toasty warm and have shoes that are easy to slip on/off between inside and outside...my outside shoes were lace up (rookie error! 🤣)
Would stay again.

Thanks so much for your amazing review Kylie! So nice to see you enjoyed your stay, the outdoor pizza oven and got to explore Robertson too! Come back soon!
The property and location are really nice and Carmen is very communicative and friendly. The animals on site are great for the kids and the outdoor fire pit is perfect. However, for the price charged for the stay and the extensive set rules and requirements you have to abide by, the property did not live up to expectation. Whilst the place was nice, the price does not reflect what you get. We had a number of issues with vermin, cleanliness, safety issues, all items which we would probably have overlooked if we hadn't paid such a premium price to stay there. Overall our view was the place is nice but the price is inflated.

Hi Kevin, thanks for your great review and it was a pleasure hosting you and your family. I am pleased to see you enjoyed the friendly animals and outdoor fire pit! As mentioned, Saturday nights are the most popular night of the week hence the price is a lot more than mid-week stays, so if budget is an issue then mid-week may be suitable for your next visit? Thanks for letting me know about the PowerPoint sticking out in the loft, confirming that has now been fixed :) we ask all guests to keep doors and windows closed during your stay as it is the country, and we want to avoid any insects or pests particularly when you guys have lots of food lying around :)
Thanks and come back soon!

Had a lovely stay for family group of 5 adults. Location is good and Lodge grounds are lovely to stroll around. We all managed to keep warm on the minus temperature nights and frosty mornings. Will definitely stay again.

Thank you Martine for your amazing review! I hope to host you all again soon :) Regards, Carmen
We really enjoyed our stay at Maple Lodge. Loved feeding the animals and the position in the country was nice. There are a lot of rules for a house that needs a bit of TLC. Dishwasher was broken and internet didn’t work. We made do and it was fine. The house was very warm inside so lucky there were fans. Overall we enjoyed our country stay and Ani communicated with us very well. Thank you 🙏

Hi Tracy,
Thanks so much for your great review! In regards to the internet there was a power outage in the area due to the severe weather. In regards to the dishwasher it is now fixed. The guest before you pulled the handle too hard (they had it on child lock) and broke it! Apologies for that. Would love to have you back again any time!
Take care,
Carmen @ The Maple Lodge
