The Haunted Mansion

Welcome to The Haunted Mansion, located at Marburg, Seminary Road, 174 in Australia. As an establishment, point of interest, and travel agency, we offer a unique and thrilling experience for those seeking adventure and a taste of the supernatural.

The Haunted Mansion is situated within the Woodlands of Marburg, a stunning estate known for its breathtaking views and exquisite food. Positioned halfway between Brisbane and Toowoomba, and just 20 minutes from Ipswich, our location is ideal for a weekend getaway or hosting a memorable event.

The history of the Woodlands estate is rich and fascinating. Originally owned by Tommy Smith, an early Queensland pioneer, the property was initially a timber milling business. After inheriting the enterprise, Smith ventured into sugar cultivation, rum distillation, and even wine and brandy production. He also developed impressive mango and olive plantations. In 1881, Smith married Mary Stuart, and together they built their family home on a commanding hilltop, which stands today as the iconic Woodlands of Marburg.

At The Haunted Mansion, we offer comfortable and beautifully appointed Deluxe and Executive suites, each with its own unique styling. Experience true comfort during your Queensland getaway at Woodlands Country Inn.

Our estate spans 250 acres of lush green gardens and rolling hills, providing the perfect backdrop for private events, engagement parties, weddings, and more.

Whether you envision a grand formal event or an intimate gathering, our team can cater to your every need. With its convenient location just 45 minutes from Brisbane CBD and Toowoomba, Woodlands of Marburg is the perfect venue for your ceremony, reception, and guest accommodation.
