Magical Malindi - Rainforest and Lake views

Recently, it was announced in the media that out of the 50,000 plus Bnb's in Australia, Magical Malindi was given the distinction of being placed in the top 10.

"Magical Malindi" is just as it is named with breath taking views, absolute privacy, a feeling that you are a million miles from nowhere and yet only minutes from the picturesque village of Montville. Set in between the Obi Obi Valley and the wilderness of the Mary Valley this is the magic of Malindi.

Malindi's thirty-two rain-forested acres offers total privacy and tranquil seclusion accessed by a 400 meter driveway in a quiet cul-de-sac. Uninterrupted 270 degree views to Lake Baroon and up to the Obi Obi Valley.

Enjoy the 344 square metre architecturally designed glasshouse of magnificent proportions. The home includes 4 bedrooms, a master with en-suite; a guest room with its own en-suite and private sitting area; another two bedrooms have access to another full bathroom. It offers open plan dining and living area with the main featuring stunning cathedral ceiling, gourmet kitchen, deck surrounding lower level and private deck to upper level master.

Malindi is an outdoor and nature enthusiast's haven, far from any main roads the only sounds that you hear are those of the abundant birdlife in the area. We have a list of over 70 species of birds spotted from Malindi. The lush vegetation and the position of the property nestled into the hillside creates a micro climate that protects Malindi from strong winds and yet allows gentle breezes up from the valley.

Awaken to the sight of a misty morning. Sunbathe on your own secluded deck, or cool off in the deck-side plunge pool. Wander through Malindi's parkland and listen to the natural music of rainforest wildlife. And when night dances upon your shoulders, let the rhythms of the rainforest gently rock you to sleep.

In the middle of nature, in the middle of the Sunshine Coast, but so far away from everything and yet so close to it all, Magical Malindi.

The Perfect Destination For So Many Occasions.

Nature Enthusiasts - An exclusive blend of nature and luxury set in total seclusion. The birdlife in Malindi's 32 acre wonderland will excite every enthusiast.

Wedding Accommodation - The bride can prepare for her wedding in a serene and relaxed setting. Sensational for wedding photo shoots.

Honeymoons - Honeymoons don't last forever but you can create memories of that will be ever lasting at Malindi.

Family Holiday Escape - Spend memorable time with your family in an idyllic rainforest setting.

Girls Getaway - Hear nature's most beautiful songs. Exchange stress and tension for bliss and relaxation.

Corporate Retreat - Ideal for small group bonding sessions. Blow away the carbon-dioxide by breathing in pure rain forested oxygen. You will be energised to brainstorm the path to greater success.

Best place Ever!!!

Wow! Everything about this place is absolutely breathtaking! Tony & Patty were so kind to allow us to hold our wedding at their beautiful home. They made us feel so at home & welcomed with a delicious home made bread, cheeses & chocolates on arrival! The views & home are just incredible, with beautiful birds comming to visit everyday :) It was the perfect place to have our intimate wedding. Our guests were just in awe of the place & asking how did we find it! Our day was an absolute dream come true for us & we can't wait to stay again for future holidays :) Thank you so much Tony & Patty!

Paradise

Dear Tony and Patty, you are blessed to live in this paradise. We have had an incredible weekend with our family joining from all around the world for our sisters wedding celebration. We all felt totally rejuvenated by the time we left. Such a magnificent property and I'm certain we all enjoyed every aspect, even down to the outdoor Easter egg hunt we prepared for Easter Sunday, and the afternoon walks up the spectacularly tree lined driveway. The best short holiday we have all enjoyed in years. Thankyou Cassandra and Steven @ Co.

Just ok

We stayed at Magical Malindi in August this year with family for our wedding at Maleny Manor . The location was perfect with stunning views but unfortunately the house was extremely dirty and had a really awful smell of mold throughout the house and because of this our stay wasn't very enjoyable unfortunately. I would suggest for maintainence and regular cleaning to be carried out on the house to reflect the price you pay per night as it is quiet expensive , you're paying for the view and location not the house itself unfortunately.

What an incredible time

Beautifully designed house on superb grounds - cannot describe how wonderful it was to wake to the view over baroon pocket dam, stroll the gardens, find fresh fruit to juice that morning, or add to cocktails that evening - absolutely wonderful - my wife and I were stunned and cannot wait to book again in future years.

lovely peaceful location

Beautiful, quite location. Afternoons on the deck overlooking the lake and countryside were absolutely fantastic. This is a very nice property. very clean and well presented with all the facilities, kitchen equipment, bbq etc etc that you will need. The large garden is beautiful and the location very private but still very close to Montville shops / restaurants etc. I really cannot find any fault at all. Tony and Patty were very helpful and efficient on our arrival and the property was all it promised to be. Would stay again in a heartbeat!

A Perfect Place for a Wedding

Our wedding ceremony was held at Magical Malindi and I couldn't have imagined a better place. We had a group of 8 stay getting ready for the wedding. The design of the home allowed for amazing photographs and every room had breathtaking views of Lake Baroon. The scenery and the gardens were stunning, even in the rain.

Magical in every way!

I was looking for a place to accommodate all of my family (7 adults and 3 children) so that we could celebrate my parent's 50th Wedding Anniversary. Magical Malindi immediately caught my eye with the stunning pictures I found online. I have been let down in the past, getting too excited over pictures published, but it was not the case with this wonderful property. The pictures don't tell the full story! The views were spectacular and Tony & Patty's home was absolutely stunning. Every bedroom has a breathtaking view of Lake Baroon and the surrounding hills. It was lovely waking from a restful sleep (in a comfortable bed made with high quality linen) to gaze out the windows and take in the green hills and watch the abundant bird life fly by. The spa in the master ensuite is heavenly! Even with the expansive views, we always felt we had our privacy. The furniture and appliances are well maintained and top quality. We all loved sitting in the gorgeous leather lounges and designer recliners. Whether we were enjoying the view, listening to music on the sound system, or watching TV, we were very comfortable and relaxed. From time to time our teenager appreciated the free wi-fi too! The private chef we arranged to cater lunch for us was very happy with the kitchen at Magical Malindi, as were we. It was a bit of an adventure finding things in the cupboards but the kitchen is quite well equipped. We enjoyed walking through the beautiful gardens, spotting birds and even meeting the resident goanna! Montville was not far away at all but we felt like we were miles from anywhere - the peace and quiet were wonderful. Tony & Patty met us on our arrival and took the time to show us around and to make sure we were comfortable. They left us gifts of fresh bread, local cheeses and chocolates which were very much appreciated and enjoyed. Our family of 10 had a fantastic weekend staying at Magical Malindi. I would not hesitate to recommend this stunning property to anyone looking for a perfect weekend (or longer) away. We had everything we needed, and more. Thank you so much for sharing your delightful home, Tony & Patty! I appreciated the lovely bed linen

An amazing getaway

The house was a beautiful getaway for our group with stunning views from just about every room in the house and everything you could possibly need. The welcome of fresh bread, cheese and chocolates was a great touch and really helped kick off our weekend. The setting was just beautiful and location was great as you were secluded but also the drive to Montville and Maleny wasn't far at all. Exactly what we all hoped it would be and more! Tony and Patty were very accommodating and took the time to ensure everything was just right before we arrived and when we arrived. Many thanks!

The Ultimate Weekend Getaway

“Stayed for the third time for a girls weekend getaway and the house is just as beautiful and just as luxurious as the first time we stayed. Everything in this house is quality from the bed linen to the kitchen amenities. The smell of fresh baked bread, Maleny cheeses and chocolates will be the start of your stay. Patty and Tony have thought of everything. Just to sit on the verandah and soak up the view of the lake all weekend would be enough in itself but then there is the beautiful house to make the most of. I'll be back for my fourth visit for sure!

Beautiful property in a magical location!

Our family of 7 stayed for 3 nights at Magical Malindi in June 2015, and we had an absolutely wonderful time. Tony and Pat were responsive and accommodating from our initial enquiry to when we bade them farewell. The house was beautiful, clean and well-equipped with everything we needed for our stay. We highly recommend this property, and would gladly stay again if we come back to this part of the world. Thanks Tony and Pat!

Unbelievable property

Stunning stunning stunning and the hosts were just divine as well. We had a group of us stay for a wedding close by at Spicers and we thoroughly enjoyed our accommodation here made even more special by the wonderful host's presenting us with freshly baked bread and local cheeses. I can absolutely recommend a stay here.

Perfect holiday spot

We had a Large group of ten stay in Magical Malindi and we enjoyed every moment we spent there. Tony and Patty were incredible hosts and welcomed us with freshly baked bread and cheeses which was a fantastic start. The house is an architectural masterpiece allowing the incredible views to be seen from every room! I cannot recommend this house enough for anyone looking at staying here. It's perfect for large groups and anyone who wants to be dazzled by the view everytime they wake up.

Definite WOW factor!

From the moment we walked through the door we were taken back by not just the house but the view was definitely "magical." We shared this house with our bridal party and each of them walked in with the same word "WOW!" We also thank Patty and Tony for the small touches they added like greeting us, baked bread, cheese platter and chocolates all in which, didn't go unnoticed. It truly set up for a great weekend, we had the most perfect wedding day and the memories will last a lifetime. We are already talking of having our 1st anniversary at your house. If you were like me and thought booking online was a bit of a gamble, don't worry the website pictures don't do this place justice.

Perfect for a family gathering!!

To Tony and Patty, we can't thank you enough for sharing your beautiful home with us! It is in such a spectacular location and the views are just amazing. The whole family had a wonderful time together, which was just what I had wanted with our sons being so far away. It was lovely to arrive at a home so well equipped, with even a fresh loaf of bread and beautiful local cheeses etc. Another small highlight was the local birdlife visits. It was the perfect place for our family to get together and for all the pre wedding preparations. Our daughter had the most beautiful wedding and it was thanks to the relaxing stay at your home that she remained calm for the morning and the girls had lots of fun with getting her hair and makeup done there. She was just so happy and we could hear her laughing all night. [Can thoroughly recommend Tiffanys as well as a wedding venue!] We will remember this house to recommend for any future gatherings for all of our friends and family, as it is such a welcoming place, With thanks, Marisa

Couldn't recommend this property anymore highly

Where do we even begin! What an amazing, breath-taking and tranquil home and surroundings. We could not adequately describe the beauty of this property and the photos just don't do it justice. Tony and Patty were kind enough to allow us to celebrate our wedding at Magical Malindi. We impressed our guests immensely when they arrived at our reception, between the house itself and the view, everyone was wondering where we had managed to find this place. The photos that we managed to capture here provided a stunning backdrop to our perfect day. Magical Malindi allowed us to have the exact wedding we were aiming for, classic and intimate. Lastly, the hospitality, thoughtfulness and generosity (and patience!) of Tony and Patty make you feel like you have arrived at home. The house and grounds are impeccable, it is obvious that they love their home and also love sharing it. We will certainty never forget Magical Malindi and we look forward to visiting again to relive our wonderful wedding day. Thanks Tony and Patty, we look forward to seeing you soon.

Excellent property

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Magical Malindi. The house was lovely and clean and had everything that we needed. The gracious hosts had left beautiful Maleny yoghurt and cheese and chocolates for us. We were there for our daughters wedding so we needed plenty of room on the day for the makeup artist and hair dresser to look after 4 females and the living room was more than adequate for this purpose with lots of natural light from the floor to ceiling window. There was plenty of bedding to house the wedding party and their partners. The gardens were beautiful and the views over Lake Baroon were magnificent. Waking up to the birds the next morning was also a treat. We will definitely go back but next time we'll walk the path that goes down to the lake. The only down side was the afternoon sun coming into the lounge room (faces west), there are no blinds to pull down and the ones on the balcony are inaccessible. Overall though, a great home.

BEAUTIFUL weekend away

We stayed at the Magical Malindi for the weeeknd for a friends wedding and were blown away by the beautiful surroundings, wildlife and peace and quiet. The owners went out of their way to make us feel more than at home with their lovely cheeses and delicous home made bread. This is one place we will definately look at staying again.
