About this property

Forest Haven styled sanctuary

Relax, refresh and rejuvenate while enjoying the Hinterland air and the bush aspect of this beautifully appointed Maleny home. Listen to the birds from the balcony while using the BBQ, or play some games and share a glass. Backing onto the Wongabei Reserve it is only a short walk into town through the trees, where you can explore Maleny's many artisan shops and cafes.

It is a perfect space for a romantic getaway, a small family, or a couple of friends to experience the many local natural sights and activities.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here in Maleny whilst attending a friend’s wedding. It was a relaxing and quiet neighbourhood, surrounded by beautiful rainforest views. Felt very homey, whilst also being neat and tidy. Great cross ventilation to allow for natural breezes. Negative for young families - no gate blocking off the back deck to bush/outdoors, which we just needed to be mindful of with our toddler.

Forest Haven styled sanctuary

Walked in & immediately felt like we were in a rainforest. All the floor to ceiling windows & doors leading out to the huge timber deck truly brought the outside in. The beds were so comfortable, all the furnishings & furniture made it feel like a home away from home. I love the design & layout of this home, so open and such a tranquil feel. Very private and also very close to town. Thanks to our host Jonathon for great communication. Thoroughly recommend this property to anyone wanting the best of both worlds, all the peace & privacy with such a convenient location.
