Beds are so comfy!
Very short drive to Main Street shopping & walks. Fabulous kitchen to cook meals, very large open spaces. Great for us with toddlers. Look forward to coming back.

Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication
Extremely disappointing stay at Lucas Parklands.
This was a very expensive booking , and unfortunately the property did not match the standard you would expect at that price point.
The house had a strong musty smell, with mould present in the bathroom. Bedlinen and towels also carried the same damp odour. The dishwasher was rusty, and dishes needed to be washed before use.
The spa bath jets had dirt and hair come out when used.
Due to a personal emergency, only 2 of the 8 booked guests could attend, and myself and my son was only able to stay 2 of the 4 nights. Despite reaching out, there was little support or flexibility offered to help with changing the dates.
Of most concern, both external staircases from the wraparound verandah were zip-tied shut, restricting exit access, which raised serious fire safety concerns.
Communication with the host was minimal and abrupt throughout.
Overall, this experience did not reflect the premium price paid. I would not stay here again.
I have retained photos of the cleanliness and maintenance concerns.
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!
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.
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.....
