Farm Stay Sunshine Coast · Peachester, near Maleny
Most farm stays are a cabin and a paddock. Ours has those too, but it also has Bahche House, a stylish four-bedroom home with a chef's kitchen, two lounges, a wood fire and a Bali hut over a private creek, and Peachester Villa, five queen bedrooms on a private estate with a deck across the hinterland. Both sit on a working farm an hour from Brisbane where the animals are yours to feed.
Bahche House from A$1,100, Peachester Villa from A$797 a night whole house, 2-night minimum

Both are self-contained, both are on the farm, and both are priced for the whole place, not per person.
Four bedrooms for up to 8. Two lounge and entertainment areas, a fully equipped chef’s kitchen with gas cooktop and dishwasher, a wood fire, air conditioning, and two covered alfresco dining areas for long lunches. Velvet lounges, big windows onto the garden, black tapware in the bathroom. Out the back a Bali hut looks over a private creek where platypus, turtles and hundreds of birds live. From A$1,100 a night. See Bahche House.
Five queen bedrooms for up to 10. A lounge with a fireplace, a second living area, a large kitchen with an island bench, and a big covered deck for dinners looking out over the hinterland, on its own private estate with lawns, palms and lagoons. The farm animals are a two-minute drive away and villa guests have the same run of the farm. From A$797 a night. See Peachester Villa.
Not a spa menu or a concierge: a good house, a good kitchen, a fire, a view, and nobody else around. Bahche and the Villa are the places people book for a significant birthday, two families travelling together, three generations at Christmas, a group of friends who want to cook, or the wedding party staying near the Maleny and Montville venues. You arrive, get the map of the farm, and the place is yours until check-out.
The farm is the difference from a holiday house on the coast. The paddocks of rescued and hand-raised animals are a short walk from Bahche and a two-minute drive from the Villa, the orchard and kitchen garden are there for the picking in season, and the Glass House Mountains sit on the horizon at sunset. Children have the run of the place; adults have the deck.
For couples who want the luxury end without the bedrooms, Tiny House On The Hill is a designer tiny house with 180-degree views and an outdoor fire, and Dovecote Cottage is a restored 120-year-old Queenslander with a clawfoot bath and a wood fire. All four stays share the same farm.
Prices are per night for the whole place. Two-night minimum. Book direct and save 20 to 25% compared with Airbnb.

Everything here is within about 35 minutes of the farm.
Cafes, galleries, the dairies and the wedding venues on the Blackall Range. Lunch at Montville, then back for sunset on the deck.
The Zoo for the children, the lookouts and short summit walks for the adults, both 15 to 20 minutes away.
Kings Beach and Bulcock Beach at Caloundra for a swim; Mooloolaba a little further for lunch by the water.
A rainforest loop walk with a view across to the mountains, and a swimming hole outside Maleny.
Feed the animals morning and evening, pick from the kitchen garden in season, and at Bahche sit in the Bali hut and wait for the platypus.
Both houses are built around the table: a chef's kitchen and two alfresco areas at Bahche, an island bench and a covered deck at the Villa. Maleny has the butchers, bakers and the dairies for supplies.
“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!”

A short walk from Bahche House, and a two-minute drive from Peachester Villa, which sits on its own estate. Guests in every stay get the same farm map and the same freedom to feed the animals whenever they like.
That is the most common group. Both houses have a bedroom for everyone and room to spread out, the animals are gentle, rescued and hand-raised, and the drive from Brisbane is about an hour from the airport side of the city, 90 minutes from the CBD.
A 20% deposit, with the balance charged four weeks before you arrive. Stays less than four weeks away are paid in full when you book. Cancel 7 or more days before check-in and you get a credit for new dates.
The last-minute midweek deal covers the Tiny House and Dovecote Cottage only. Midweek is still the easiest time to get Bahche or the Villa, at the normal price.
