Whispering Valley Cottage Retreat ★★★★

"Fantastic cottage, Tallowood! All we needed for a relaxing 3 day break away for Christmas. Angela and Glenn were great at communicating with us about check in and check out. It was great to sit on the deck and be serenaded by the cicadas and frogs but not hear a single car, in fact the cottage was so private you really didn't know there were other people around, well apart from the distant Hee-Haw of some hungry donkeys, but a few carrots soon settled them !! The kitchen and BBQ can cater for most family cooks,cordon bleu dining is mostly out of the question, but stock up at the Maleny Butcher, and your sorted."

The Guesthouse Maleny ★★★★

"The room is comfortable, the transportation is convenient, and a very good family hotel."

Spicers Tamarind Retreat ★★★★

"It was just an overnight stay, but wow. We arrived at Spicers, tired and a bit jaded from overpriced "fine dining" establishments on our holiday. Our cabin, surrounded by tropical vegetation was gorgeous and well set out. We were hungry, having been let down by another high priced "chef's hatted" establishment and we ordered two mains to be delivered to our cabin. OMG!! We rate them as the best meals of our trip. A crispy white fish and a Duck Green Curry with steamed crab (not what you'd immediately put together but stunning). These two served with rice and a generous complimentary bottle of Prosecco restored our faith. The service was low key but perfect and our meal was delivered and the tray taken away without fanfare. I had a chat with Ty this morning before our departure and he made sure that we'd had a great stay and gave me a jar of chilli oil to take away. Easily the winner on our brief trip. Next time we plan to try a cooking class."

Top of the Hill ★★★★

"This was a wonderful stay, even if it was just one night. The room was large and super clean. The views are stunning. Breakfast was great too. Would gladly come back again and recommend to others"

Maleny Terrace Cottages ★★★★

"Another Gem . Small room . But has everything. Clean and comfortable. Tough of elegance. Maleny hotel has good food, which is walking distance. Nearest IGA has next level gourmet food. Early walk to bakery for a great coffee and breakfast. "

Maleny Tropical Retreat ★★★★

"Book this place only if you have a car. The location is in the middle of hinterland. Breakfast is minimalistic with jus bread n cereal"

Blue Summit Cottages ★★★★

"We are frequent flyers to the Blue Summit Cottages, they have become our favourite way to unwind and decompress from our busy lives. We stock up on yummy food, a bottle or two of nice wine and plenty of bath salts for the spa and then let the rest of the world disappear for the weekend. Situated only ten minutes down the road from Melaney, a gorgeous little village which despite its size has a huge selection of restaurants, cafes and shopping. But if you don’t want to go out, the cottages have everything you need to stay in. We have always stayed in Black Cockatoo which has super comfortable king sized bed, fully equipped kitchen with the little things you need (cooking oil, kitchen towel etc) and a comfy lounge to watch Netflix on the telly while sitting beside the gas fire. Or our personal favourite: relax in the spa. The deck is a standout feature, private with incredible views and a little Weber BabyQ perfect for two people. We’ve been to Blue Summit Cottages in different seasons with very different weather and we’ve loved every visit. The cottages have been cleverly built so that all four have easy access via a path from the covered parking area but once you’ve inside, even from the deck, you have perfect privacy."

Maleny Hotel ★★★

Maleny Lodge ★★★

"Great stay, although parking is very tight and extremely stressful when raining and bad lighting."
