About this property

Moogerah Lake House #6 Cottage

This delightful country style house boasts 180-degree views of Lake Moogerah with tranquil wide-open spaces and lots of natural light. This house carries all the charm and quirk of a farm cottage without skimping on any of the modern comforts of home.

This charming old house has character that shifts with the seasons. During dry periods, the doors might be snug, while in wetter times, they may become looser. The 60-year-old aged flooring and over a decade old floor coverings, add to its unique charm. If you're seeking modern luxury, this might not be the place for you. However, if you appreciate charm, cozy beds, tranquillity, and beautiful views, you'll love it here.

We only offer our lovely old house to guests for only a limited number of nights and weekends each year, which is why it may seem pricey. The cost reflects its rarity and charm, not a five-star rating. This home isn't for everyone, so please review the photos carefully before booking to ensure its what you are looking for, for your next staycation.

Escape the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy the serenity and lakeside views, nestled in the Scenic Rim near the town of Boonah. Just over an hour’s drive from Brisbane or 1.5 hours from the Gold Coast, you will enjoy a country lakeside escape without having to travel far from home. Everything you need for a relaxing country getaway is right here waiting for you.

Imagine yourself taking a deep breath and soaking in that fresh country air, as you gaze out over the expansive green space surrounding the house and the beauty of Lake Moogerah with Mt Edwards as a backdrop.
As you arrive at Lakehouse #6 you will love driving down the driveway to this quaint cottage and entering along the wrap around timber deck to fully take in the natural beauty of this location. The deck is equipped with outdoor seating and dining, as well as featuring a 6-person heated spa ( up to 38 deg) that will provide some of the most unforgettable sunsets you’ve ever seen.
The house has three bedrooms sleeping up to 7 guests:
Bedroom 1 – Master bedroom, Queen bed
Bedroom 2 - Queen bed
Bedroom 3 – Double bunks (double mattress lower level, top bunk is a single)

Other facilities include:
Bathroom with separate toilet
6-person heated spa (up to 38 degrees) on the deck to enjoy all year round
Outdoor Fire Pit & BBQ
60" curved TV, DVD player, Spacex Wifi so you can watch all your favourites in peace
Cold water and ice maker inside the double door fridge-freezer
5kg washer and 4kg dryer
Dishwasher (because who wants to wash up on holidays?!)
Quality coffee maker and appliances throughout
Reverse cycle air conditioning keeps the whole house a comfortable temperature no matter the season, plus pedestal fans available for those who like air movement
A helicopter landing pad is on the adjacent land, no kidding! (Permissions required)
All linen and towels are supplied.

This property is equipped with two external security cameras overlooking the deck, spa, fire pit, shared entry road and general outdoor areas for general safety and property protection. Cameras are not actively monitored during your stay, and footage is only reviewed in the event of an incident. You will find these cameras on the Northwest Corner Eave on the deck, and the Southwest Corner Eave.

Guests may cover the camera on the deck during their stay for privacy if they wish, but please do so with care to avoid damaging equipment and remove any covering prior to departure. Cameras will move and/or reset position due to automated movement detection (i.e. If something like a bird flies by, the camera may revert to its original position). Tampering with the system may result in a call out & repair fee.

Perfect for larger group bookings, or for functions and weddings, hire our neighbouring lakehouses.

Lake Moogerah has peaceful blue waters and is an ideal destination for swimming, camping, boating, water sports and reconnecting with nature.
A popular location for boating enthusiast to go water skiing, jet skiing, canoeing and kayaking, but please note you will need a permit to fish which you can get from the caravan park where your access to the lake is found.
The local area offers beautiful parklands and national parks to explore, with Mt Edward close by for hiking enthusiasts.
Take a walk across the dam wall; at 219m long and 38m high it’s ideal for sighting turtles and other wildlife.
There is a local cafe and general store close for any supplies you may need.
Moogerah Lake Houses are situated in a very relaxed, carefree neighbourhood. However, we do have neighbours in close proximity, so we ask that you to consider your noise levels on weekdays beyond 10pm. Friday nights and weekends by around midnight please adjust your noise levels to suit the peaceful environment you’re in.
Moogerah Lake Houses are near bushland, the lake and national park, so a variety of wildlife is very common.

The perfect relaxation spot
Gorgeous old Queenslander with all the amenities that you need. We’ve stayed at Moogerah quite a few times but the location of this place takes the cake. Just a pity there isn’t access directly to the lake for ski’s etc.

Lovely stay
Really nice property with beautiful view of the lake. We had everything we needed and can't fault the property. Communication with Michael was very straight forward and easy. Would absolutely stay again.

Too expensive.
Magnificent view. Too expensive. Toilet door does not close. Prevalent dog hair. Cream day couch in lounge unusable as covering has completely disintegrated . Needs a wood heater. Fire pit in yard is a small halved drum.

What's not to love
We're supposed to stay 8 days but extended as didn't want to head back to reality. Even after the toilet broke our 2nd last night we were moved to another house which was just as gorgeous. It's not a matter of if we stay again but when and which house.
