Hi, without going over the top, thought I would provide a few comments.
Yes I have stayed here a few times, so know the properties quite well. Seclusion and Privacy second to none, quality and attention to presentation of the cabins outstanding, views especially Calm can take you in to just looking, the other two cabins views are great also. The other side of Melany, so hence the privacy. What else can I say, oh yes, the hosts are so Knowledgeable about the area, they should also be the tourism office. A warm friendly meeting goes a long way, from booking, to arriving, all tick the friendly easy to do button.
Love what you have done to Calm, the upgrade is quality all around.
Only weeks to go 😊until our next stay.
Thankyou Terry and Julie, always enjoy your hospitality .

The True Couples Retreat

Very happy with our stay for some much needed screen- free downtime. warm welcome from owner Terry who gave a run down of how  everything worked and recommendations for things to see and do locally. We were lucky to score a rainy day which meant we didn't leave the premises!! The cottages are well appointed, thoughtfully designed, well maintained and very clean. The windows in particular were spotlessly clean, affording great views across the valley from the spa. Breakfast provisions were generous, firewood was plentiful, bathroom well designed , and bed very comfortable. Good value for money for the price we paid. Book direct with the property for the best deal.

Perfect Escape!

We loved our stay at MLC, it was raining the whole weekend however was one of the greatest weekends we have had. The cottages were clean, tidy and peaceful. Perfect place to unwind and the views are insane. We will be back very soon! Ps, the bread was amazing

Peaceful, relaxing, great views

We arrived in Maleny on a wet and dreary afternoon but from the moment we stepped into the 'Love Cottage ' we knew we'd found our 'bliss'. Our hosts Julie and Steve have done an amazing job, bringing all the elements together to create the most relaxing and romantic atmosphere. So many thoughtful touches everywhere. Immaculately clean and modern yet still homely. Not even the miserable weather could take away from our enjoyment. And Julie's freshly baked bread (delivered  on our arrival still warm from the oven) is possibly the best home made bread we've ever had. And it makes the best toast ever  - especially with pate and vintage cheese with champagne!! With the weather not great we spent every afternoon in the divine spa bath watching the clouds and mist roll in and out of the spectacular Mary Valley through the enormous picture window. We almost didn't want the weather to clear as the spa bath seemed like the best seat in the house to view the spectacular scenery and relax to the max!! Though the dining area and deck also provide a great view of the valley. The neat little kitchen was perfect for us to prepare a couple of home cooked meals and when we could drag ourselves away, the local Thai restaurant recommended by Julie was excellent, as was Shotgun Cafe. Our best discovery in years and we've already booked a return visit for next year.

Outstanding Couples Retreat

Sadly we found this place disappointing. We've stayed in similar places that were cheaper but more modern and with better service. The first night's stay was quite pleasant, but things took a turn when we woke up the next morning...

At the time of writing this review, you can still go onto the Maleny Luxury Cottages website and find that the list of inclusions on the "Dream Cottage" page clearly indicates that a breakfast basket is included with the room. We were really looking forward to relaxing that day and not having to leave the room. But by 8:45am, the breakfast baskset had not arrived, so I sent a message to the owners. They responded to say that our booking did not include breakfast. Apparently this is because we didn't book directly with them and used a third party accommodation site that charges them a fee. Check out the room rates and I'm sure you will agree that when you're paying this much for a room, (even with a 10% fee taken out), and when the website indicates that breakfast is included, it's reasonable to expect breakfast! The Dream Cottage page on the website does not say anything about the breakfast only applying to certain booking types. It is false advertising, very misleading and frankly disappointing. I pointed this out to the owners and they said "sorry you thought that", like it was my fault for their poor communication.

I offered the owners the opportunity to rectify the issue, but they refused to budge. It reveals the true character of the owners. A good accommodation provider would have just admitted that the website is misleading and then honoured the advertised inclusions list. It's not difficult or expensive to provide a couple of slices of bread and some eggs, but that really would have made all the difference to our experience, our mood, and our opinions of the place.

We tried to not let this ruin our stay, but it really did. When you come somewhere like this, paying as much as we did, and when you're supposed to be having a relaxing time, the last thing you want to do is have a battle with the owners.

If the owners intention is to provide the most comfortable, stress-free and relaxing experience for guests, unfortunately they have not succeeded this time and they don't even seem to care. I wonder why they even bother owning this place. It seems they are only interested in the money and not genuine hospitality or the satisfaction of their guests. We were discriminated against because of the site on which we chose to make the booking. If they don't like being charged fees for listing on third party accommodation sites, they should remove their listings from those sites.

Disappointing, overpriced, discriminatory

Once again hands down amazing beautiful just stunning perfect… from the moment u arrive at ur cabin… Terry and his wife are so lovely they will meet u or just leave instructions for ur cabin entry..: if u book private u get a better experience because u get bread baked hamper and lots of other little things for ur stay. 
We stayed in the dream cabin: last time we stayed in the brand new calm cottage which is just been renovated and it’s beautiful with a massive circular bath tub on the balcony but this weekend we stayed in dream cabin.. yes it had a bath tub on the veranda it also has one inside next to the bed haha. It’s awesome we used both. We even turned the tv on an angle to watch our downloaded movies and tv series while having a spa bath. It’s beautiful. We cooked dinner most nights on the stove or microwave but the Maleny pub is the best..: not far of a drive… this place is beautiful and even better in the winter time when u crank the fireplace but we didn’t need it this weekend we did put the heater on but that’s all.

This place is beautiful Secluded place

I discovered the hard way that MLC has a “too bad, so sad” approach when it comes to customers who do the honest thing and follow the Government mandates surrounding Covid. 

I booked on the 24/12 for a two night stay from the 3/1 for $610, taken from my account upon my booking. I found out on the 2/1 that I was a close contact to a Covid-positive person and promptly went to get myself tested. I immediately contacted MLC to advise of this and ask what my options were. Julie directed me to call back the next morning- the scheduled day of my arrival- and stated she hoped my test results would be returned by then (I advised her then that there was an approximate 4 day delay for results in QLD at the time, which she seemed unaware of).

Still awaiting results, I contacted MLC the next day and was told then I could not transfer my booking, nor would I be refunded anything. 

I was reminded that the cancellation/date-change policy is cut off 30 days before arrival, regardless of the current Covid situation in QLD (though this latter part not stated anywhere when I booked). Furthermore, MLC stated they would not permit a transfer of dates as they’d “be running at a loss” if they did this. Having a returning customer or accomodating reputation did not seem a priority to them whatsoever. 

Offering me “$100 off a future booking” does not remedy the situation where I was doing all the right things, following government mandates and advised MLC asap of my situation. I can say this has been a highly regrettable experience, ending with a impudent money-grab, especially during a time when we’re all doing it tough. 

I definitely don’t recommend that anyone books with these guys. There are plenty of other great options around Maleny; many who are more willing to accomodate your visit!!

Can’t come due to Covid? We don’t care; we’ll take your money anyway!!

Holy bananas amazing!

This place is amazing. Don’t think about booking JUST DO IT! this place is gorgeous. We stayed in the calm cottage. It’s just been fully renovated from top to toe. I’m going to start with the outside bath tub!!! OMG ITS SOOO ROMANTIC AND BEAUTIFUL AND BIG ENOUGH FOR 2. We practically lived in it haha. The sunset is the best about 5:30 the sky is purple and fairy floss colour. The bathroom inside is stunning with 2 shower head double shower for 2! All rose gold and gold trimmings. The kitchen has everything brand new in it. Don’t need anything to cook with. All utensils and even tomato sauce and butter and cooking spray, salt and pepper, coffee pod machine with milk frothed, supplied small milk. 
I heard if you book with terry him self they give a small breakfast basket I think but yeah we booked on booking.com so I didn’t know till we arrived. 
The lounge room is perfectly set up with fire place, tv is great takes my USB stick for movies. The cabin still is brand new but has the rustic old timber feel and looks modern. The bed is perfect comfy and huge. I honestly can’t complain about this cabin at all. 
Terry was lovely as well full of info loves a chat and tells u all u need to know. Honestly this was perfect and we will defiantly be trying to get this place every anniversary we have ;)

Holy bananas amazing

My wife and I love coming back here whenever we can. We've stayed in the Love Cottage 5 times now at all times of the year and have just adored it every time, especially when we're rained-in like we were last weekend...you don't need many excuses to get back in that double-spa with amazing views over the Valley! 

The cottage is so well-equipped and is always immaculate when we arrive. Julie and Terry are such gracious hosts who have created a truly special experience, but you won't hear from them again after check-in if you don't want to. Always happy to cater to our dietary needs for the provided breakfast goods too, which is a huge plus for us. 

No other getaway exists for us now since discovering this a few years ago. Do yourself a well-deserved favour and try it out, I promise you'll be back!

Such a fantastic, romantic retreat every time

My husband and I stayed in the “love cottage “ 12 years ago and absolutely loved it then ! 
But for our first wedding anniversary I wanted to go somewhere special (crazy thing is we only live 30mins away ) and couldn’t think of anywhere more special then “Malany luxury cottages”  so I called Julie to book into the love cottage again 
She told me they had renovated so she hoped we still loved the place! 
Well WOW WOW WOW !!!! 
This place is Devine !

Mike and I had the most amazing weekend just relaxing and enjoying each other’s company in a peaceful and tranquil beautiful part of our coast . 

The bedroom has the most comfortable king size bed and a couples spa that over looks the serene surrounds . 
The cabins are so private with their own entires so you don’t hear anyone else . 
With Airconditioning you can have the place just right and even snuggle up to a pot belly fire. We took our favourite dvds and a good book . 

So here are my Tips for your trip ! 
Julie and Terry supply a lovely basket of goodies for breakfast including fresh cooked bread. 
But stop at the local IGA and grab some supplies because the cabin sports a fully equipped kitchen including a bbq ! So you don’t even have to leave once you arrive, it has a full size fridge and dishwasher so you are set for the stay ! 

If you do want to venture out we had dinner at “the terrace in Malany “ seafood restaurant and Le coq Bresnan at Flaxton.  Both places we can highly recommend 

You can explore the local area and casually walk through Malany, Montville and Mapleton. 

We will definitely be back again snd couldn’t of went to at better place to celebrate our first anniversary
