We thoroughly enjoyed our week at the Orchard Guesthouse. Will was a wonderful host, sharing eggs from their chickens and giving us a cooking tutorial on his thermomix. We were close to the iconic hinterland towns: Maleny, Montville and Kenilworth as well as coastal towns: Molloolabah, Noosa and Caloundra. But the best was the lovely gourmet kitchen and outdoor heated pool.
