Notes

Absolute privacy -- experience what it's like to live in a beautiful rural setting with old fashioned values.  Where life is slower and you can buy local produce and wines.  There are plenty of restaurants nearby (Bella Vista is in the village), antique shops, wineries and art galleries.  

Nearby places to see:  Montville is 8 minutes away, Maleny Botanic Gardens and Bird World, Mary Cairncross Rainforest Discovery Centre, Maleny Dairies (they run tours) and a Swiss cheesemaker at the Maleny Fromagerie.  Australia Zoo (allow a day), The Ginger Factory (for young kids) ... and the 1 hour round trip through the Mary Valley via Kenilworth, Witta, Maleny, Montville and Mapleton is a saunter back in time.
