A short path with sensor lighting leads from the carport to the cottage, which is situated to the back of the main house and is completely separate.
It is nestled amongst the leafy lanes of Maleny with an unusual "quirky" garden. The cottage feels spacious with cathedral ceilings and quirky shaped, coloured windows.
Enjoy the glow of the woodfire while sipping a glass of wine or cuppa after exploring the waterfalls, botanical gardens, and delightful shops in the main street to name but a few things to pass leisurely days. (R/C air-con also available)
Self-catering is a doddle with both Woollies and IGA in town, not to mention health shops offering great support of vegan and health-conscious palates. The large fridge/freezer and washing machine make longer stays much easier.
Just over 5 minutes drive to most wedding venues in Maleny. If you are here for a function, why not add on a couple of nights and explore Maleny and the Hinterland?
Best to leave your work at home if you can, though there is a dedicated work space with charging facilities if needed.
A steep, tree lined driveway leads down to the carport. Please park on the left-hand side. A turning bay is in progress.
I can be contacted between 8am and 6pm or at any time in the case of an emergency. The property at the front will also be available on Airbnb in August 2024.

P E T S:
We love all animals but have made the cottage available to guests with DOGS ONLY. Sorry, no cats for the reasons stipulated below. $55 pet fee applicable for first two nights and $5 per night thereafter which can be paid through the Resolution Centre. A second dog may be permitted upon request.
If you have another pet you would like to bring, please advise us in a message and we will assess each request.
Airbnb hosts have to choose whether to be "Pet Friendly" or not. However, Airbnb does not specify what qualifies as a "pet." eg I know someone that has a pet pig!!
WHY NO CATS: Unknown to them, a friend had a guest stay with a cat. The cat used furniture as a scratching post, made pulls in rugs and blankets with its claws. To make it worse, she was allergic to cats, as are many people.
WHEN STAYING WITH YOUR DOG: Please bring your your dog's bed and food bowl with you and don't let it on the bed and furniture in the cottage.
Some guests roll up the rugs, especially with long-haired dogs. We really appreciate it if you choose to do this.
Please also pick up your dog's poop from the garden and dispose of it in an appropriate place.
Thank you for your understanding.
GARDEN: Although we are keen gardeners you might not think it at the moment!! We are still trying to "tame" the garden without spoiling the "wildness."
We are currently working on a "quirky" area with unusual items and plants, which will hopefully bring a smile to your face while sitting looking out from the covered verandah. DOG OWNERS: We have made our cottage dog friendly as we are animal lovers and know it is difficult to find places to stay with your dog. We do ask however that you bring your dog's bed with you and don't let it on the bed and furniture in the cottage. Please also pick up and your dog's poop from the garden and dispose of it. Only one dog is allowed to stay without prior notice. A surcharge of $55 per trip is payable at time of reservation and $5 per night after two nights payable through the Resolution Centre. Please abide by the above rules so as not to spoil it for others who wish their dogs to stay with them. Thank you.

Lovely space. Great location. Lots to do in the surrounding area. The bed is super comfortable. Ty Alison. Great communication is so helpful when we're travelling.
We really enjoyed our stay at Quirky Cottage. It contained everything required to make us comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped, the bed was comfy and our pet greyhound enjoyed the small garden. Loved the sound of birdlife, it was a tranquil stay and close to everything in Maleny. Thank you to our pleasant host Alison.Susan & John

It was a pleasure to host John.
The cottage was left spick and span.
The cottage was well appointed and the little extras were appreciated. Shampoo, Conditioner, etc. It is very close to the main part of town. I am not sure anyone ever fully escapes bugs and spiders inside in a warm, humid town. They were of no concern to me as they were the hamless type and hid up high in corners, but for some it may be concerning. The wifi provided was also poor, with the tv apps often hanging awaiting a signal. This too may be a Maleny issue. Telstra phone reception was good thus hotspotting to laptop and calls were fine.The bed and pillows were great. It is a lovely, quiet and safe location. Be aware that the walk from the under cover car park to the cottage involves a few gentle yet uneven steps and a poorly lit gravel pathway for those unsteady on their feet and arriving late or pulling a case. A torch is provided once inside for future trips. Overall, it is a lovely cottage and excellent host.
