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.

“For your added security, this property "Magical Malindi" is only managed in Australia and we never request payments be made to overseas bank accounts”

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.

Magical Must Stay
Tony and Patty make the experience seamless and stress free. Their home is amazing and it is now going to be a yearly thing for the 7 of us ladies after spending the weekend there in 2023 and just last weekend. You could be anywhere. The views are incredible and the house is so beautiful you don’t want to leave so we don’t. We check in and simply stay for the duration. We have already booked for next year.

The home was absolutely beautiful. Unfortunately my husband and daughter fell ill so our lovely break was spent at the pharmacy and trying to get my 8 year olds fever down. We are sad we never got to enjoy the beauty of the area or the house but hope to be back another time. Thank you for having us - Carrie

Amazing views, clean and comfortable
My friends and I enjoyed spending time in the house and the views from every room were magical. It was very clean and owners responsive. Good setup although it would be good if coffee pods were provided as couldn’t find the ground coffee for the coffee plunger and we’d brought the wrong size pods. Would love to return again.

Magical weekend
Thank you Tony and Patty for sharing your beautiful home. Everything was so beautiful and perfect for our annual catch up. It was so lovely to see everyone's faces as they walked into the lounge and just took in the scale of the windows and the view across the lake. We loved the home, the spa bath, the kitchen, the gardens and of course the stunning gardens and birds that came to feed each day. Thank you - we would happily return to stay again.

The property was absolutely beautiful. The online photos certainly do not do it justice. Tony and Patty were so helpful and accommodating throughout and took all the stress out of the accommodation aspect of our wedding. We will definitely be returning for another stay so that we can further enjoy this magnificent property that captures the very essence of the Hinterlands. If we could provide more than 5 stars we would!

We were blown away with the view on arrival! Visable from every room, the whole family felt like they had the master suite! Walking into the lounge over the fish pond was a surprise that has our three year old grandson asking his parents to cut some floorboards and install one at their place. We roamed the secret gardens, played games and sipped coffee on the deck. In one word...perfect

A wonderful weekend in a lovely property
The property was stunning. From the moment we turned onto the driveway, to walking in the front door and having the fish pop up to say hi, it was all perfect. Sitting on the front balcony each morning and watching the sun rise while the fog burns off the lake was something I could do every day. Tony and Patty were always available for us to ask questions leading up to our stay, and have set up the perfect house for any occasion. My friend's birthday getaway couldn't have been better! Thank you.
