Cute stay, great location
Family stay for a wedding. The location is great just a short walk from the main street. The view of the garden and creek from the deck is lovely. House was clean and comfortable.

Family/friend reunion in Maleny
We chose the house due its close proximity to family and capacity to share with an old friend - and it did not disappoint. Lots of great social spaces and also separate private sleeping arrangements. Easy walking access to adorable town. Gorgeous setting in lush forest (out back especially). Have already recommended to other family members who might want to stay in town rather than return to Brissie after family get togethers. .

Lovely house in great location
The three bedroom house is very spacious with lots of areas where couples can either get together or find their own space. Lovely deck area to enjoy the peaceful surroundings. It is well located just a short walk from the Maleny shops and we saw a platypus from the viewing platform near the shops. Check-in was super easy with the door code, and no keys to worry about.

Relaxing House with Great Location
A great home with lots of indoor and outdoor space for all the family to chill out and relax. Walking distance to shops and cafes - all we could have asked for, for our short 3-day stay in Maleny!
