Why midweek is the best time to be on the farm

Most weeks the weekends are taken a month or more ahead, while the weeknights stay open until the last few days. That is why we discount them at the last minute rather than let them sit empty, and it is also why midweek guests get the best version of the farm: fewer cars at the gate, the animals less fussed over, and the fire and the view to yourselves.

The hinterland is quieter too. Maleny’s main street and the dairies without the weekend queue, Mary Cairncross Scenic Reserve’s rainforest walk almost empty, Gardners Falls to yourselves, and Australia Zoo, 15 minutes away, on a weekday outside school holidays. The sunsets over the Glass House Mountains are the same every night of the week.

It suits couples who can take a Tuesday and Wednesday off, parents with children not yet at school, grandparents, shift workers and anyone within an hour or two who sees a gap in the diary and a gap in our calendar. We are about an hour north of Brisbane and 35 minutes from the beach, so a two-night midweek break does not cost a day of driving.

What guests say

“The kids (age 4 and 6) absolutely loved feeding the animals and talking to Wilson the cockatoo. The cottage was very clean and felt so warm, especially with the fireplace going every night. 5/5 experience for us and we’ll remember it forever.”

Daniel, family stay in Dovecote Cottage

“Had such a great time staying at the tiny house! Peaceful views, campfire and friendly animals! Only a short drive to Maleny and other surrounding areas, would highly recommend if you are looking for some R&R!”

Midweek and last-minute questions

Which nights count as midweek?

For the 30% deal, Monday to Thursday nights, with check-out by Friday. Sunday nights are quiet too and often available, but they are at the normal price.

How do I get the 30% off?

You do not need a code. When you search dates that are inside the deal window, the lower price shows automatically. The date buttons at the top of this page fill the search in for you.

How far ahead can I book the deal?

Only the next 5 days. It is a last-minute deal for nights that would otherwise sit empty. For anything further out, midweek nights at the normal price are the easiest dates to get.

Does the deal run in school holidays?

No. Queensland school holidays and the Christmas and New Year period are excluded.

Does it apply to Bahche House and Peachester Villa?

No, the deal is for Tiny House On The Hill and Dovecote Cottage only. The two bigger houses are at their normal price, and midweek is still the easiest time to get them.

Can we stay one night?

No. Every stay has a two-night minimum, deal or not. Deal stays can be two, three or four nights.

Can we add the weekend on?

The deal is for stays that check out by Friday. If you want to stay through to the weekend, search the whole stay and the Friday and Saturday nights will be at the normal price, or book the midweek nights on the deal and ask us about adding the weekend.

What do I pay when I book?

Stays less than 4 weeks away are paid in full when you book, so a last-minute deal is paid in full. Further out, it is a 20% deposit with the balance 4 weeks before you arrive.

Can I cancel a last-minute booking?

Our normal policy gives you a credit for new dates when you cancel 7 or more days before check-in. A last-minute booking is already inside that window, so please book when you are sure you can come.
