A beautiful self contained private & peaceful cottage on a picturesque property which we stayed for 2 nights. On arrival music was playing, breakfast items provided, a great spa bath, a comfortable bed & surprise local chocolates. It was a joy staying here and if we ever visit Maleny again this place would be our number 1 choice. It was magic.

Great location, cute and cosy

Lovely cottage with all the amenities you could need, the breakfast provisions were a lovely touch. Fireplace, comfy sofa and big corner bath tub made for a very cosy stay, our only issue was that the mattress was VERY firm. Great location just outside of Maleney, on the way to Montville.

These cottages are simple but elegant. Fully equipped for a private couples weekend. With Maleny shops and cafe/restaurants @ 5minutes up the Road ( plus Maleny dairy cafe less than 300m up the road. Very conviently located between both Maleny and Montville. They are surrounded by lush Gardens and with only 5 cottages on site felt VERY private. We enjoyed our stay!

Highly recommended for couples who want privacy!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Bendles - it is the perfect little getaway spot for couples with the privacy of it as well as being amongst nature. The personal touches made it extra special; music playing when we entered the cabin, a basket with basic foods as well as enough in the fridge to see us through breakfast the next day. The cabin itself was perfect for what we needed and the seclusion was just ideal. Waking up to see the cows on the distant hill was incredible, such a beautiful difference from typical city living. We would love to return in winter when we can use the fireplace and have a cooler experience, although the air conditioning saw us through the QLD heat while we were there! A great stay overall, very happy we chose these cottages as our getaway destination.

My partner and I stayed in the Toorak cottage this weekend and the reviews are not wrong! We loved everything, we couldn't even try to find something negative to say if we tried. The bed was the most comfortable bed we've both ever slept in (we are even talking about purchasing the same one). We had everything we needed. The spa bath was relaxing, we had complete privacy and we were so relaxed when we left we are already talking about booking again. The little touches that go in to making sure you have a good stay were just a bonus, like a coffee machine with a variety of coffee pod stengths available (personal fave of mine), the cottages were soundproofed so you can't hear other guests going about their stay either, a Bluetooth speaker to play music, breakfast in the fridge, even the extra towels were a nice touch (also a personal favourite of mine). All of it was such a great experience and you can tell that alot of thought and consideration has gone into ensuring your stay is as convenient and comfortable as possible. The gardens are beautifully maintained and easy to navigate as you walk through. The view from our cottage of the trees and gardens was so peaceful and the best part was that you're away from light pollution so you can see the night sky and not have to worry about the sound of traffic or see skyscrapers in the distance. We are definitely staying again.
