Place a lovely view and outlook although very basic and small room and simple choices with expensive prices. Breakfast was also simple yet nice in a large dining room or optional deck area. Place is star6to show its age around the corners and parking is VERY tight and limited - if you have a large SUV don't bring it!

We arrived at Top of the Hill in Maleny on March 7 for one night. Our lovely hosts Barb and Greg (hope I remember names correctly) offer six spacious cabins. Our cabin was spotless and had a private deck, open spa bathroom with a large tub and shower overlooking scenic valley views out in the countryside (only two small houses visible in the distance), a queen bed, sitting area, a kettle with coffee and tea available, and a small fridge. The cabin felt very private and very quiet. The room includes a free hot breakfast with several options served on your deck or in the main dining room or connecting main deck also overlooking the valley. We had visited Australia Zoo in Beerwah earlier in the day and it was very hot there so when we arrived we were happy to have a short nap in this beautiful location. We had been traveling about a week and Top of the Hill gave us the opportunity to rest from all the traveling. We would rate this as our favourite place that we stayed while in Australia. I highly recommend this wonderful country retreat especially for couples who need a break from the big city. Five star in all respects. Note to our hosts: we loved your hospitality and wonderful conversation in the dining room and we ended up buying another hat (so do with the one we forgot there whatever you'd like). Thank you so much!…

Lovely little cabin, very clean, lovely views and nice hosts. Suited us down to the ground, just stayed one night after visiting Australia Zoo. Good place to stop off and explore the area. You must have a car and while the breakfast is very good, there is no evening meals offered but lots of good places to eat nearby.

From day one on arrival we were greeted and given advices on locations to eat and visit if. We were handed all details of dinner locations available / Recommended as well as map of any activities we wanted to visit. Barb and Greg made life super easy for us. If we had any requests from replacing soaps sugar, coffee, refreshed towels or even dirty dishes they were always willing to assist to make our stay as stress free and relaxing as possible. What we really love about the place as well as hosts is that upon arrival you receive breakfast menu where you can pick time or meal day beforehand and drop it in box and sure thing next morning the time you picked breakfast is ready to your satisfaction. All I can say is, highly recommend and we will definitely be back no doubt. Thank you again for a wonderful stay Barb and Greg.…

Our stay at top of the hill was excellent even though the weather was raining there is still so much to do and see in the hinterland.The cabins are cozy and well appointed and the little extras ie: grazing plate was amazing and all local produce . Greg and Barb are fantastic hosts and make you feel right at home, they have alot of knowledge about the local area and can suggest activities of you are at a loss , they made our stay an awesome experience. Breakfast was the best omelette I have ever had could not go past that. If you are looking for an adult getaway then I could not go past this location we will be back thanks so much for looking after us .

LOVED IT. Seriously didn't want to leave. Quiet, so clean, incredible tranquil views, huge spa bath, handy fridge, coffee set up, comfy queen bed and super friendly hosts Barb and Greg (who make delicious breakfasts). Honestly it was the dream and just what we needed. Wish we could stay for a whole week and just read a book on the balcony in the fresh air. Thank you for the lovely stay! We'll be back!

Our trip to Tasmania for our 30th anniversary was cancelled due to Covid. I booked a cabin here last minute. Thank goodness I did! It was superb. Trish and Chris are wonderful hosts. The room was well appointed and super clean. The view amazing. Chris makes the best breakfast which sets you up for the day ahead. Trish was so welcoming. The cabins are set in the beautiful mountains and are very private. If you are looking for a romantic getaway this place is perfect. All in all a 5 star experience 💫
