OUR HISTORY

Where the Story

Begins

We welcome you to our beautiful haven in Mudgeeraba on the Gold Coast.

Once a private homestead nestled in the heart of the Gold Coast hinterland,

Kwila Lodge has been lovingly restored to celebrate its rich architectural roots while embracing a refined modern vision. The estate’s centrepiece—an original Victorian-style farmhouse—stands as a tribute to the elegance of a bygone era, with its steep gables, timber detailing, and sweeping verandahs preserved and elevated through careful craftsmanship.

From the grand stone fireplace in The Great Lodge to the soaring ceilings and curated interiors, every element reflects a respect for history and a passion for timeless design. Today, Kwila Lodge offers a unique blend of old-world romance and contemporary sophistication—where the beauty of the past sets the stage for unforgettable celebrations.
