Nice, “okay” for infants.
Hotel is overall nice. Surrounding towns/ area is beautiful, great hikes/ walks just a short drive away. No ‘amazing’ views from the hotel property. Villa was tough with an infant (fire places, stairs, low drawers/ microwave). Bath tub was perfect, used it everyday. Loads of Nspresso and tea (free) in the room is a nice touch. Breakfast food is decently healthy and a great variety (cooked to order). Staff was wonderful. Would recommend.

Japanese Soaking Tub
We were only there for one night but it was perhaps the best place we stayed in our weeklong holiday of Fiji and Australia. The details were superb from the jazz music playing in the background, the new Leif bath products, the complimentary sake, the really comfortable bed, the his and hers shower and of course, the Japanese soaking tub (which I think could be a little hotter). The grounds of the retreat were wild and tranquil and we would go back to stay there any time. Also the restaurant and cocktails were really good.

Anniversary get away
30th Anniversary celebrations. Perfect spot. Just wish we had longer there. Lovely room, great hot tub, delicous dinner and breakfast. We had the degustation with matching wines. The food excellent but thought the wine price was over the top for what was served. Breakfast choice was also excellent.

Friendly country getaway
Our quiet and spacious orchard villa with its two bedrooms, large bathrooms, full kitchen and delightfully warming fireplace made for an ideal family getaway. The excellent Thai styled Tamarind Restaurant makes dinner a pleasure (although closed Mondays) and the local rainforest walks are a beautiful way to relax and appreciate nature. Only downside was the enormous king sized bedding that wants to swallow you up, disrupting an otherwise peaceful sleep.

3.5 out of 5
Beautiful area. Little pricey for what you get. Restaurant is closed on Monday which was one of the nights we were there. Downside, and I am sure regular, was that hot tub (in each outdoor area of units) was not hot at all as a power fuse tripped. No one was around after 6 to assist and I was looking forward to using it that night after driving all day.

Relaxing getaway
Stayed the night in a 2 bedroom cottage, wished I could stay the week. Extremely spacious, very clean, you see nothing but trees and nature out your windows. The grounds are gorgeous, more nature, and very well maintained. Would recommend for a night, or a week. One of the nicest most relaxing stays I've had anywhere. The food at the resort was also amazing.

Wonderful 5 star resort in the the forest!
Wonderful stay, it's definitely a 5 star resort. The staff was also very friendly and helpful. When we mentioned that we had to leave early in the morning and would miss the included breakfast, they packed us food the night before. Super nice of them to do that :)

Very calming and relaxing
This is a great place for a relaxing peaceful getaway but a little overpriced. The villas are smaller than the photos show but overall it was large enough for the 2 of us for a 2 night stay. Restaurant provides great food and staff are very helpful with great service. Breakfasts are great with a twist on your run of the mill standard menu choices which is what you would expect from a boutique accommodation provider. Would definitely recommend this venue and would go back again.

Sensational!!
I cannot say enough to describe how wonderful our stay was! Staff were very friendly Room was super clean and stylish Spa was INCREDIBLE Words would not do this hotel justice! **Tip: Only 1-bedroom villas have hot tubs. Make sure you specifically request a 1-bedroom villa WITH THE HOT TUB upon booking. As they can put you in a 2-bedroom villa (also called Forest Villa) and simply lock the 2nd room... Villas with hot tubs are more popular.

Lovely Luxury Getaway
I recently stayed at the Spicers Tamarind resort with some friends for a ladies getaway. We decided on Spicers as we wanted somewhere where we could all stay together in comfort and have an open fireplace. We stayed in one of the 2 bedroom villas and it was superb. The villa was cosy and welcoming, everything was absolutely spotless, there were 2 luxury bathrooms and 2 big bedrooms. The lounge area and kitchenette were well set out with big glass windows allowing the outside landscape to be seen and the big open fireplace was a real treat for the cool winter nights. Our villa was very private - there were people in the other villas near us but we couldn't see or hear them. The staff were very friendly and helpful. My only disappointment was that we couldn't get into the Spa Anise as it was fully booked out so a tip would be to book well in advance before you go. We all thoroughly enjoyed two lovely nights at Spicers Tamarind and will definitely stay there again next time we visit Maleny!
