Resting on a precipice of the Blackall Range, where mist falls faithfully at regular intervals throughout the year, is a 100 acre realm of stunning nature adjoining the Bellthorpe National Park, backed by rain forests and overlooking gentle sloping dairy farms to the north ... to the east, breathtaking and uninterruptible view of the Glasshouse Mountains, Moreton Islands and the Australian East coast, to the Pacific Ocean beyond ... all from 555m above sea level.  Maleny Retreat is a retreat destination, dedicated to peace, the environment, re-energising the spirit, learning, sharing and creativity.

"Our wish is to enable and encourage spiritual renewal, retreat time and a place to rejuvenate oneself from the business... strains and difficulties of life — a place of contemplation."

Maleny Retreat is a very special old diary farm, which is shared with like minded souls to come and experience the natural environment that is this “sacred land”. With old growth rainforest walks, gentle strolls across the green rolling hills, and the spiritual awakening which comes naturally from returning to our earthly mother ... in absolute guaranteed privacy.  

Maleny Retreat is an ideal venue for small intimate retreats and gatherings.  A wonderful space where groups of up to 14 people can come together for their own special purposes.  Also, Tent Village provides 20 Permanent Tents for up to 40 extra guests, volunteers and staff.

The guesthouse provides a great space for private simple rooms to retreat to, become creative and rest.  There are no ensuites, but 5 showers and toilets, 1 with disabled access.  The bedrooms are fully furnished with writing desks, chairs, lamps, beds, comfy sofa chairs and ottomans.  Rooms are accessed by their own french doors via the deck.  There is a large deck that wraps around the entire house providing shelter between rooms and amenities.

There are spaces for workshops, talks and small seminars.  For larger workshops and retreat functions, we provide Marquee Packages.  Marquees can be setup near the magnificent views of the Glasshouse Mountains, and furnished to suit the type of workshop or seminar being provided.    Contact Maleny Retreat via the "All Other Enquiries Form" to discuss your retreat or gathering bookings.

For healing retreats and detoxes etc, there is a range of juicers, blenders and vegetable slicers and cutters available on request.

Maleny Retreat shares a boundary with Bellthorpe National Park, situated at the southern end of the Conondale Range. Untouched bushland with rainforest, waterfalls and attractive creeks is home to 600 identified plant species and a haven for many endangered and threatened animals. Picnic beside a rock pool at the Stony Creek day-use area. Look for frogs around the rock pools. Identify the many forest birds. There are no formal walking tracks. You may walk along the forest roads but some are steep, so talk to rangers before bushwalking. ​
