Guests will benefit from exclusive use of the outdoor bathhouse, complete with an original clawfoot bathtub, copper rainwater shower, uninterrupted views of the farm and its lake.
The luxurious self-contained quarters feature wood fireplaces, freestanding baths and fully equipped kitchens. Outside, guests can enjoy the farm’s putting green or borrow a kayak for a paddle on the lake.
Prices for The Acreage start from $450 per night with a two-night minimum stay.
Mayan Luxe Villas
Perched on 40 hectares in the Noosa hinterland, Mayan Farm is the perfect setting for those seeking some quiet time surrounded by rolling hills, grazing livestock and lush gardens.
Built from sustainable rammed earth, Mayan Luxe Villas is offered as entire, exclusive use property, with three luxury villas each featuring a king-size bed and ensuite.
Bookings include exclusive use of the plunge pool, pizza oven, fire pit and outdoor bathtub boasting wide-reaching views of the surrounding hinterland.
As a fully-fledged working farm and with an owner that doubles as an in-house chef, farm to table dining doesn’t get any fresher than this. Mayan’s owner, Jodie Williams, dishes up DIY pizzas for guests to cook in the terrace’s wood fired oven.
The cosy hammocks also provide the perfect vantage point to settle in to with a glass of wine in hand.
