We have lived and worked on four continents and traveled extensively, finally settling in Australia. We found Maleny purely by chance and fell in love with everything it has to offer and love that we are able to share this special part of the world with others.

Kookaburra Cottage is a purpose built, 2-bedroom 2-bathroom house, nestled among the rain forest trees on a 4.5-acre property overlooking a small lake. This home is ideal for a peaceful, tranquil get away from the hustle and bustle of modern life. Relax on the large deck and soak up the sounds of nature. It's an easy 25-minute walk (or 3-minute drive) into Maleny and close to the golf course and Baroon Pocket Dam. This home is ideal for a peaceful, tranquil get away from the hustle and bustle of modern life. Relax on the large deck and soak up the sounds of nature. The well-appointed, spacious guest cottage has adjacent parking and free Wi-Fi. The open plan living-dining-kitchen area leads on to a large private deck with ceiling fans, outdoor dining table and barbecue. The kitchen has high end appliances and there is an indoor dining area. Televisions can access DTV and streaming services. There is a wood burning fireplace with enough wood and kindling provided for your stay during the colder months. Kookaburra is one of three guest cottages at On Burgum Pond Cottages. Part of the property is a nature access strip, and the property is therefore not fenced. There is an abundance of bird and wildlife, including a vast variety of birds (kookaburrras, galahs, cockatoos, herons, white egrets, king parrots and lorikeets, to name a few), wallabies, echidnas, bandicoots, possums and our free-range chickens. All can be viewed and enjoyed on the large deck. Kookaburra Cottage is all on one level but is accessed from the carport via stairs. We do allow pets, with an additional pet fee, and dogs must be kept on leash when on the property due to the bird and wildlife.

On Burgum Pond is 2km from Maple Street, Maleny, 1.5km to the golf club, 5km to Lake Baroon, 7km to Mary Cairncross and a short drive to all the local wedding venues. There is a local Sunday market in Maleny and the Eumundi (Wednesday & Saturday), Witta (3rd Saturday of every month), Montville (2nd Saturday of every month) and Mapleton (4th Saturday of every month) markets are also nearby. There are a number of award-winning local producers such as Maleny Dairies, Maleny & Kenilworth Cheese Factories, Maleny Coffee, Maleny Wagyu, The Brouhaha Brewery, and Maleny & Kenilworth Bakeries.
