Havre harmonieux de Maleny, superbe retraite

On top of the Blackall Range, near Maleny. Moist, verdant, cooling and green nourishes and moisturisers our body and soul. Descending west down the range leads us to the slightly drier climates of Kenilworth and several beautiful national parks. The Mary River winds through the valley, providing lovely places to stop and picnic. Walks, bird spotting, cafes, and great boutique shopping.
Harmonic Haven provides a restful place to ease up from your days adventures, or just to hang out and enjoy.
