“ Everest” - One of Maleny's best-kept secrets

Retreat to Everest, a gracious c. 1903 Queenslander in the heart of the Maleny hinterland. Surrounded by lush gardens and just 4 minutes from the township of Maleny, Everest is an original, classic farmhouse of the area.

Perfect for romantic escapes, girls' or hens' weekends, family getaways, or elegant wedding accommodation close to Maleny’s renowned venues.

Breathe in the crisp mountain air, unwind by the fire pit under a canopy of stars and witness breathtaking sunrises and sunsets.

Everest provides private ground-level accommodation for up to nine guests with an extra-large living space that flows onto wrap-around terraces and stunning gardens. There is a choice of three beautifully appointed bedrooms, two bathrooms, a full kitchen plus a barbecue area situated at the 120-year-old farm shed.

The bedrooms all have stunning garden outlooks, queen-sized beds, high ceilings, fans, heaters and terracotta tiled floors. The Hydrangea Bedroom offers delightful garden and lawn views through glass sliding doors. The Geranium Bedroom is styled with a trip to Amalfi in mind, with a picture garden window. The Wisteria Bedroom has direct access to a private Italianate courtyard and is perfect for a family of three, with a queen bed and a king single bed. Pure cotton bed linen, duvets and blankets are provided.

The kitchen greets you with fresh bread and preserves, local Maleny milk and excellent coffee and tea for your first breakfast, plus citrus from the orchard when in season. The kitchen is fully equipped, with a refrigerator, fan-forced oven, hotplate and microwave, crockery, cutlery, coffee machine and more.

The living-dining area offers spacious, casual entertaining with Italian terracotta floor tiles, large country dining table, smart TV, music speaker and two large sofas (one is an extra pull-out bed). A well-stocked bookshelf provides hours of reading plus plenty of indoor games. The space flows seamlessly into the garden via a clever moving wall.

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

On arrival, guests are greeted by a level, tennis court-sized, grassy area, much loved for wedding photography or a game of boules. Discover water features, bird baths, a gazebo to sit and enjoy a glass of wine and covered in grape vines at certain times of the year, a Tuscan-style courtyard, a vegetable garden and orchard and many other private spots to sit and enjoy nature and the many birds who visit daily.

The 'Lakehouse' garden pavilion with large BBQ is ideal for enjoying alfresco dining. During cooler months, the fire pit is a wonderful spot to gather and enjoy the silence and 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 and there is always something to delight at all times of the year. There are too many species of plants to mention, but the azaleas, camellias, orchids, heliconias, and hydrangeas are but a few.

When in season, the orchard offers a variety of fruits for you to savour during your stay, including oranges, mandarins, lemons, and grapefruit.
