ACCOMMODATION DESCRIPTION

‘Everest’ provides private and separate ground-level accommodation for up to nine guests with a large living space flowing out onto wrap-around terraces and stunning gardens. There are three beautifully appointed bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a full kitchen.

The three bedrooms all have stunning garden outlooks, queen-sized beds, high ceilings, fans, heaters and tiled floors. The eastern bedroom offers delightful garden views through glass sliding doors. The middle bedroom is spacious with a picture garden window. The third bedroom has direct access to a private courtyard setting and is ideally suited for a family of three, with a queen and a king single. Beds all have quality pure cotton bedlinen, warm duvets and blankets.

The living-dining area offers spacious, casual entertaining with Italian terracotta floor tiles and two large sofas (one of which is also a pull-out bed). A well-stocked bookshelf provides hours of reading and the space flows seamlessly into the garden via a clever moving wall. The room also has a large dining table and smart TV.

There are two bathrooms. While not ultramodern, one has a heated deep spa bath, shower, and toilet. The second bathroom has a shower, which can also be used as a bath for small children, toilet, and make-up vanity.

Tea and excellent coffee are provided along with milk and Continental breakfast supplies for your first morning. If guests would like extra supplies this can easily be arranged, just let us know and we can order it for you. The kitchen is fully equipped, with a refrigerator, fan-forced oven, hotplate and microwave, crockery, cutlery, coffee machine and more.

On arrival, guests are greeted by the beautiful grounds - a level, tennis court-sized, grassy playing/photo area, much loved for wedding photography. Discover water features, bird baths, a Tuscan-style courtyard and many other private spots to sit and enjoy nature and the birds that visit.

The 'Lakehouse' garden pavilion is ideal for balmy nights outside to enjoy alfresco dining. A large BBQ is available for you to cook your own meals and overlooks the gardens.

Wander the grounds to discover the gazebo, a relaxing spot to sit and enjoy a glass of wine, which is covered in grape vines at certain times of the year. During cooler months the fire pit is a wonderful spot to gather and enjoy the starry sky.

Discover the true delight of 'Everest' gardens. If you have a passion for flowers, flora, plants and trees, you will not be disappointed by the variety. There are too many species of plants to mention, but the azaleas, huge camellias, orchids, heliconias, hydrangeas, and more will delight you during your stay. The orchard, when in season, has a variety of fruits for you to savour, including juicy oranges, mandarins, lemons and grapefruit.

When in town the owners choose to stay in the upstairs of the home.

A stay at ‘Everest’ is one to be remembered - we welcome you to the Maleny Hinterland.
