On Burgum Pond Cottages was founded in 2016 by a family of passionate travelers who wanted to share their love of the Sunshine Coast Hinterland combined with excellent hospitality. Today, we continue to welcome guests from all over the world, providing them with a unique and authentic experience.
We offer four beautiful, private stand-alone cottages, each with its own unique charm and character: Possums, our one-bedroom, one-bathroom and outdoor hydrotherapy spa, ideally suited to 2 guests; Kookaburra Lakehouse / Cottage can be rented out either as a one-bedroom, one-bathroom for 2 guests or as a two-bedroom, two-bathroom for up to 5 guests; Wallaby Cottage / House can be rented out either as a two-bedroom, one-bathroom for up to 4 guests or as a three-bedroom, two-bathroom for up to 6 guests; and our latest addition, Bunya, can be rented out either as a two-bedroom, two-bathroom for up to 4 guests or as a three-bedroom, two-bathroom with the second story bedroom and lounge, for up to 6 guests. From the comfortable bedding to the stunning views, we guarantee an unforgettable stay at On Burgum Pond Cottages.
We provide a delicious breakfast basket filled with local and home-made produce. From freshly baked bread, croissants and pastries to eggs from our chickens and fresh local seasonal fruit to milk and yoghurt from Maleny's award-winning dairy and cheese factory; breakfast at On Burgum Pond is the perfect way to start your day.
We understand that for some of us our pets are family too, so we are more than happy to accommodate them at On Burgum Pond.
As we are semi-rural and part of a wildlife corridor, the property is not fenced. We also ask that dogs remain on lead at all times when on the grounds as we have an abundance of bird and wildlife (and don't forget our free-range pasture-fed bantam chickens) on the property.
We charge a $30.00 pet fee per stay and allow a maximum of 2 pets (but can be flexible depending on size and cottage).
We are more than happy to accommodate your bridal party and are happy to have hairdressers, makeup artists, photographers, etc. on the premises. There is ample parking for all extras outside the property on the grass verge.

Wallaby House is a three-bedroom, two-bathroom house that encompasses both the main house and the annex.
The renovation to this face brick 1970's house has brought Bunya into the new century and has created a modern, clean and quiet living space in a garden setting surrounded by mature trees.

We are also able to offer Bunya as a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom cottage all on the ground floor level.
You will have access to the entire downstairs of the house and the patio and garden.
