Maiala Park Lodge can accommodate 10 overnight guests and an additional 10 day guests, making 20 guests total for day time events.
Maiala Park Lodge offers four suites and a cottage. Three suites feature king-size beds that can be reconfigured into twin beds for a twin-share arrangement. The Echidna Suite and the cottage each feature a four-poster antique queen bed. Both of the queen suites have the option of an additional single bed so the room can be used as twin share. This setup provides flexibility for various guest preferences while maintaining the unique charm of each space.
When you arrive at Maiala Park Lodge, you’ll be welcomed with a curated selection of complimentary tea, coffee, milk, and our house-made white chocolate & macadamia welcome cookies — a small gesture to help you settle in and unwind. Dinner is available to pre-order ahead of your stay, with thoughtfully prepared meals served onsite for lodge guests. For group bookings, we’re pleased to offer tailored lunch options and refreshment stations by prior arrangement. While breakfast is not currently available, we’re thoughtfully developing our breakfast offering and look forward to introducing it in Autumn 2026. More details are there on our Dine page.
At Maiala Park Lodge, meals are prepared with intention, not urgency. Ordering in advance allows us to plan thoughtfully, source fresh local and seasonal ingredients, and minimise waste. As a small, boutique lodge nestled in the rainforest, we don’t operate a full à-la-carte kitchen. Advance ordering enables us to deliver a more considered, high-quality dining experience while remaining true to our values of sustainability, respect for Country, and slow living. If you have dietary requirements or special requests, ordering ahead also gives us the time to accommodate them with care.
Yes there is parking for all overnight guests at Maiala Park Lodge. Day visitor parking is somewhat limited, and logistics for this can be accommodated, but will be co-ordinated between the Maiala Park Lodge team and the key contact booking for your group activities.
The main advantage of the shared living and dining rooms at Maiala Park Lodge is the intimacy associated with your stay. Guests of Maiala Park Lodge can expect to have regular interaction with other travelers as well forging new friendships with other patrons. Your hosts, Lucy and Joaben, offer in depth knowledge of the surrounding area and can provide directions and suggestions that cater to your specific needs. Joaben can also yarn with you about any of your cultural capability questions.

We adore children and know you adore yours, so you’re more than welcome to bring your kids to Maiala Park Lodge. However, we kindly ask you to keep a few things in mind.
– Supervision: Children under 12 must be supervised at all times. It is not permissible to leave any child or teenager (17 and under) on-site without a parent or guardian.
– Safety Considerations: While we welcome families, the lodge is not specifically set up for young children. Common areas contain breakable items within reach, the kitchen does not have a door, fireplaces are lit during cooler weather, and stairs are not equipped with childproof gates. For safety, we do not accept liability for injuries that would not occur for an adult.
The function room accommodates 10–20 people, depending on the configuration. For activities such as art, craft, or yoga, where guests need more space to spread out, the recommended maximum capacity is 10 people. For lecture-style or boardroom layouts, the room can hold up to 20 people.
