Woopen Creek Wait-A-While Nature Refuge Hotels

"Really good "

"A two night stay at the Malanda Lodge recently was an absolute pleasure. Set amongst one of the most picturesque tropical settings in North Queensland, the Lodge offers one of the best overnight stays we have experienced, Tranquil, wonderful staff, a superb continental breakfast made the stay a memorable experience. Recommend putting the Lodge at the top of your list when travelling through the Atherton Tablelands."

"The room was not cleaned. The bathroom had stuff all up the walls. It was yuck. When you showered the bathroom flooded. There was water everwhere. Then when unpacking the car at the door there was grass and dirt everywhere. I ducted the mat and you still had everything go inside so the floor was dirty. We could not keep the stuff out."

"We had such a wonderful stay! What a beautiful property, was exactly as described and so relaxing. We will definitely be back and booking longer next time. Thank you so much Jodie for such a wonderful and easy stay. Look forward to next time!"

"Bugs in the sink. Old. Run down. Not at all like the photos. Smelly. Didn’t feel safe staying there. Mold on the shower curtain. Breakfast wasn’t offered until 10:20am. Didn’t feel comfortable to accept the food/drinks. Don’t stay the duration of the booking it was that bad. "

"Hosts were amazing "

"Yes"

"Very cleanEvery thing you need Very welcoming "

"We recently stayed at the beautiful farmland on 2458 Topaz Rd, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, Lidiya, our host, welcomed us with the warmth of a glowing wood fire. She is truly lovely, kind, and incredibly welcoming—she made us feel as if we were arriving at our own home rather than an accommodation.The location itself is stunning, surrounded by beautiful geography and open views that instantly soothe the soul. We spent time exploring the entire farmland, enjoying peaceful sunrise moments, watching cows grazing across the fields, and taking in scenery that reminded me deeply of my own farmland back home. It felt familiar, comforting, and truly “in my blood.”We celebrated our baby’s second birthday during our stay, and the place made it extra special. With the decorations set up, we didn’t have to bring anything besides our food. Everything was clean, beautifully arranged, and thoughtfully prepared. Lidiya also shared stories about her farmland—how she built it and the journey behind it—which made the experience even more personal and meaningful.We also explored her amazing native garden, filled with diverse trees and plants. We were even able to take some native plants home to add to our own garden, which was such a lovely touch.Overall, our stay was relaxing, mesmerizing, and heartwarming. We absolutely look forward to visiting again in the future. Thank you, Lidiya, from the bottom of our hearts."
