Maleny Clover Cottages (Cottage Two)

Curl up next to the cosy fireplace, indulge in the sheltered and private outdoor bath, stroll down to the creek to spot platypus or simply sit on the deck and be captivated by the breathtaking sunsets. Our property is totally eco-friendly; all electricity is generated from the sun, we catch rain water and have our own environmentally-friendly waste-water system. The cabin is ideally suited for a romantic couple's getaway.
