About this bed and breakfast
The two-bedroom, two-bathroom house provides a modern, clean and quiet living space overlooking a lake and abundant birdlife. The front door opens into the open plan kitchen-dining-lounge area. The kitchen has high end appliances, including a fridge, gas cooktop, oven, microwave and dishwasher. There is ample cupboard and countertop space and it is finished off with stone benchtops. All crockery, cutlery, toaster, kettle, pots and pans and coffee machine are provided.
There is a built-in washing machine and a tumble dryer available to the side of the kitchen in the scullery area and a washing line around the side of the house.
Free Telstra ADSL WiFi is available and a television with DTV, Netflix and Stan is in the lounge area. There is a second TV in the master bedroom with DTV.
A wood burning stove in the living area provides more than enough heat for the house and wood and kindling are provided. If you run out, please ask and we will be happy to top you up.
The back wall of the living area is made up of a full width window and sliding door that opens up on to the large deck offering panoramic views of the lake and surrounding valley and trees. A large ceiling fan ensures you remain cool no matter what the weather. The deck leads off to the side to the small garden area. Each bedroom has sliding door access to the deck.
Both bedrooms overlook the lake, the rain forest and macadamia trees and have ceiling fans and their own reverse cycle air conditioning unit. Each bedroom has an en-suite bathroom with a large rain shower. Towels and shower amenities are provided. Bedroom 1 has a Queen bed. Bedroom 2 has 1 x double and 1 x single.
An extra single bed with all bedding is available for use in bedroom 2. There is an extra charge of $30.00 if this is required.
A gas BBQ is available for use on the deck.
Guests have their own private access to the house down through the long drive past the main house. The driveway has lights for nighttime access. There is a private car port (for one to two vehicles parked one behind the other) to the front of the house.
Other Details to Note:
* A complimentary breakfast hamper is provided for you In the Cottage, which includes, freshly baked multigrain bread, croissants, local seasonal fruit, yoghurt, muesli, eggs, milk and juice. We also provide a selection of teas and coffee pods.
* In the colder months, enough wood and kindling for the indoor fire is provided for your stay. The wood cradle will be filled and kindling, firelighters and matches left.
* Our property is semi-rural and is not on town water or sewerage. Our water comes from rainwater tanks, and we have a wastewater treatment plant. The house has its own tank, and the water is perfectly safe to drink (but may be discoloured).

Pets are not allowed on the beds or furniture.

We do ask that you not leave your dog at the home alone for long periods of time but understand that sometimes you have to for a couple of hours (e.g. going out to dinner).
Please enquire about larger pets.

Modern and very clean guesthouse. Beds were snuggly and I imagine would be delicious in winter. The breakfast provided was superb. Check in super easy and directions accurate. Spacious with a great deck to listen to the birds. In fact, I have already rebooked to take other guests next year. Looking forward to it.

Flew interstate for a friends wedding, rented ‘On Burgum Pond’ Guesthouse for 3 nights with some friends. Very comfortable stay for 3 adults. With a large kitchen/living area, 2 separate walk in robes and 2 ensuites, it is perfect for getting ready for a wedding or event. Just 5-10mins drive to the supermarket and local cafe strip. Perfect location for a tranquil getaway. The property was clean and well maintained. No issues had during our stay. The owners were incredibly kind, providing a breakfast hamper with freshly baked bread, eggs, fruit and spreads which lasted our entire trip. Lovely view of the pond off the back deck. Would recommend if staying in Maleny or visiting Sunshine Coast.

Perfect Maleny Getaway for all
This holiday was wonderful. The hosts were so nice and the accomodation was perfect. So much room for 4 adults, 1 kid and our little schnauzer. A wonderful breakfast hamper and a little treat for our doggy was so nice. Super close to main St Maleny. Highly recommend!!!!

Fantastic property within a few minutes drive to Maleny town. Peaceful and beautiful outlook from a lovely undercover deck, with daily visits by the resident Peacock, Hen and baby. Very special.

Stay on Burgum Pond in North Maleny
We had an absolutely fabulous time staying in north Maleny, at the guest house on Burgum Pond. We were able to bring our small dog Maggie and our hosts were extremely thoughtful and left dog treats, a dog bed, and bowls for Maggie. We were very well looked after and Linda make sure there’s lots of special little touches throughout the guesthouse, so very well laid out and with everything you could possibly want to have a magical stay. Top rating from us and every bit as nice as staying at a Spicers Resort. Rolanda

Beautiful property and surroundings, only a couple of minutes away from Maleny town but it felt very serene and relaxing. The property is beautifully presented with a full kitchen and large outdoor deck. Wifi is available as well as the main streaming services, and there was plenty of wood for the fire which was perfect for the cooler evening's. There is stunning wildlife to see round the property, including a beautiful peacock and resident chooks. Each bedroom has its own bathroom. The owners were very prompt in responding to enquries, and we loved the unexpected hamper of goodies left for us to enjoy, and the special touch of treats and bedding provided for our pooch. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and will definately be back.

August 3 night stay
Excellent position, close to Maleny just beyond the street lights; quiet and tranquil surrounds. Guesthouse design works well with bedrooms and ensuite each end and sitting/kitchen/covered deck in-between. Driveway is rather steep, but after initial navigation very functional with ample space to turn etc.

Idyllic Relaxing Holiday
We needed a holiday to relax and recover from the COVID lockdowns that cancelled our previous planned holidays. As my wife and daughter continued to work through lockdowns a relaxing and rejuvenating stay was planned and achieved with our stay at this well equipped and very comfortable property. Friendly birds and animals, close to shops and places to visit whilst also supplying a spacious, comfortable and well-equipped retreat for our 1 week stay. We would not hesitate at staying again.
