Convenient easy location. Lovely hamper left for us upon arrival full of local produce to enjoy. Spa bath under the stars was lovely as well. Clean and modern cabin with comfy bed. Most enjoyable and relaxing stay.

It was òn a busy noisy road. Inside the place was nice. It wasn't the retreat that I was hoping for. I wanted to be more isolated and surrounded by nature.

Bespoke, thoughtful, comfort in a lot belt setting
This property was beautifully presented. It has been thoughtfully designed for functionality and guest comfort. The shared areas are lush and lovely. Spotlessly clean and with many amenities for the guest to use, this property is located between Maleny and Montville and so it’s very easy and convenient to visit the tourist attractions in the surrounding areas. We loved it and it was just the tranquil break we needed from our busy lives in Sydney. I would return in a blink.

Overpriced and not very private.
The cabin is very close to the next ones, as they are all on the same block and you can hear your neighbours easily. The beds were very hard, but very stylish and well appointed. Limited cooking options and tiny kitchen. The spa on the deck is a great idea, but you cannot change The temperature to make it any warmer.
