Maleny sits on the Blackall Range with its main street of cafes, galleries and the famous dairies, and most of the accommodation around it is a cottage on a quiet block. Ours is a little different: a working farm 20 minutes down the hill at Peachester, where the stays sit among paddocks of rescued and hand-raised animals you can feed whenever you like, an orchard, a kitchen garden and a creek.
That makes it a good fit for people who want Maleny’s food and views by day but something for the kids (or the inner kid) in the mornings and evenings. Drive up for the Sunday market and Maleny Dairies, walk the rainforest circuit at Mary Cairncross Scenic Reserve, have lunch in Montville, then come back and feed the goats as the sun goes down behind the Glass House Mountains.
The four stays are all self-contained: Dovecote Cottage, a restored 120-year-old Queenslander with a wood fire and a clawfoot bath; Tiny House On The Hill with 180-degree views; Peachester Villa with five bedrooms; and Bahche House, the luxury four-bedroom option.
Peachester is between the Glass House Mountains and Maleny. Times are approximate.
All four share the farm and the animals. Prices are per night for the whole place. Two-night minimum.

“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.”
“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!”
“Beautiful, welcoming farm stay. Lovely hosts. Perfect for families. Very comfortable accommodation and immaculate grounds. Highly recommend. 5/5 stars!”
