The Upper House is a tranquil one-bedroom cabin overlooking Lake Baroon and the countryside. It is an easy five-minute drive from Maleny main street, but feels miles away from the bustle. Suitable for couples and solo travelers who relish calm and solitude. The Upper House started life over 20 years ago as a milking shed, and has since been converted to various uses. It was gutted in 2015, and renovated into a private guest cabin. Various elements from the original shed have been preserved, such as the block walls, the concrete floor, the exposed steel beams on the ceiling, and the large openings that used to accommodate roller doors. The Upper House sits on the highest point of the land, hence its name. This is a space that invites you to spread out and do nothing too strenuous: Sit back on the couch and gaze for hours at the light changing over the surrounding hills and woods, water and land. Dive into the king-sized bed with your favourite person, book or device (there are built-in USB charging points next to the bed and plentiful wifi). Relax in the sunken bath. Watch wallabies feed outside the floor-to-ceiling windows at dusk. Sit on the lawn at 2am and take in the stars and Milky Way. Wake at 6am to watch clouds blanket the water and hills, and then go back to bed. It's that kind of space. Firewood/Fireplace: We do provide a few larger pieces of firewood (during the winter months June - Aug) to get you started but you will need to bring some kindling, newspaper etc. Depending on how much you would like to use the fireplace you may find you need more firewood. There are often road signs around the hinterland advertising bags as well, or the local iga and hardware stores also stock it.
