‘Karbeethong’ means ‘moonlight shining on water’. Artists and poets have tried to capture the feeling of the place for nearly one hundred years – however, nothing compares to simply being here. A large number of artists, writers and musicians have visited the Lodge & Mallacoota, including E.J. Brady, Banjo Patterson and others, and this tradition of creativity & arts continues in Mallacoota today.
Karbeethong Lodge is a unique, relaxed fully-renovated guest house which dates back to 1903. The building is largely original, apart from for the addition of en suites, some reconfiguration of internal spaces, and, of course, upgrades to evolving technology such as electricity, plumbing and wireless internet. The Lodge consists of ten guest rooms, lounge, dining and kitchen, outdoor areas, and sweeping verandas overlooking the garden, lake and ranges beyond. Its most recent refurbishment has been in the last ten years with the emphasis, in all decisions, towards comfort and style while maintaining essential character.
Around half the rooms open onto the wide front verandah with spectacular views over Mallacoota coastal inlet, famous for its sunsets and superb peaceful vistas. Other rooms have bush views or open onto an internal courtyard.
The owner/manager’ residence is compact but the best room in the house – privately located, quiet, with great views over the water. It comprises lounge/dining, kitchen, bathroom and single bedroom. There is also a private veranda space, an office, a second bedroom, and an enclosed garden.

History
Karbeethong Lodge is an historic homestead, iconic to the area, built around the turn of last Century. It was turned into a guesthouse in 1920 and has been open to guests, in one form or another, ever since. The site the Lodge is on was the first land selected in the area back in the late 1800’s. Naturally the Buckland family, the original settlers in the area, chose the best spot to build their homestead – high over the lake, protected from wind & storms, with great views and fertile soil.
