Comfortable break away

Great for a short break, although the outdoor balcony was in serious need of cleaning and cob web removal. The hammock was very mouldy but was lovely to sit in. Unfortunately our cottage was on the road side and the traffic was very noticeable. I was craving an escape from Sydney to hear the birds, but the traffic was overpowering them 😔 I think the cottages on the opposite side of the property overlooking the valley would be much nicer. I know it’s a case of ‘you get what you pay for’ and this cottage was less than many others you can choose from in the area, but I would have expected the cleaning to be more up to scratch. Interiors of the cottage was also very dated with big chunky furniture that doesn’t maximise the space well. I understand bring a small business though upgrades are expensive and this is purely my own personal experience. I’m sure there are many others who would enjoy the cottage styling and appreciate the surrounds as they are.

Perhaps not

Robotic checkin, not interested in providing information regarding suitable places to take our dog walking. Nothing available onsite. Breakfast was delicious and well cooked. Housekeeping exemplary. Picnic hamper (platter as we stayed in) was hideously overpriced for $90. Much better value available in Maleny. Couldn’t walk anywhere from balmoral ridge, it’s on a main road and about 15 minutes drive from Maleny. Felt like we were imposing on them because we took our dog. Advertised as pet friendly, and I contacted them prior to ensure that they were aware. Although the accommodation was clean and as advertised, I wouldn’t stay again because we felt unwelcome.

Nice place to stay. Great service.

Nice place to stay in a bush setting with scrub turkeys feeding outside our cabin. Great views from deck. Service was great with a nice breakfast. The only negative is the close road noise from heavy vehicle traffic at night and early morning.

Cosy cottage with privacy and beautiful view

A very tranquil relaxing few days away from the every day. Completely enjoyable and peaceful allowing time to reconnect and very intimate and private. We never saw other guests as the garden surroundings complete the scenery. Very happy and definitely would return.

Over and beyond our expectations would give a 10!

Where do I even start on our amazing experience? First our babysitter fell through at the last second, I rang and asked them if I could bring my 9 year old son and what the extra costs would be. He said don't even worry! He stayed free and we only had to pay extra for our son's breakfast in the morning. When we arrived he greeted us and took us down to our cottage (I have been on many, many retreats and the staff have not once taken us to our cottage, rather they would throw the key at you and that was that). He was such a gentleman. He had extra blankets, pillows, cups already organised for our son to stay. There was home-made chocolates and cookies waiting for us, as well as fresh scones. My husband ordered some wine for us and we were amazed when they gave us 2009 wine all the way from kangaroo island (top notch stuff!), he showed us all the hot spots to visit. He brought us breakfast fit for a king and queen's feast each morning and it was absolutely delicious, did I mention this breakfast is complimentary in your booking price? Wow. They even noticed my son liked their home-made cookies so filled the jar back up for him and that my husband liked the pod coffee so gave us extra pods. So much attention to detail.

Relaxing retreat

Had a wonderful stay at Lillypilly’s. This was my second time I stayed there with my partner and it was a night away without children. it was very relaxing. The ‘little touches’ make the accommodation very comfortable and I will definately be back.

Great place for a escape

Easy to get to, but feel like you are away from everything. From the second you step into the place you automatically de-stress with welcoming forest entrance and hosts/owners who are relaxed and go out of their way to make sure you know the facility and how to relax... nothing was too much trouble and the place is built for a stress free get away.

Too expensive for what you get.

too expensive for what you get, small shower, small spa, small rooms. There are better places to stay for the same price in the area. Not able to do any cooking in cottage as it only has a microwave and hot water jug. So you have to eat the expensive meals or eat out. Only two coffee pod left in unit for your coffee. Other type available in bags.

Amazing Getaway

We were looking for a quiet getaway to recharge before the work year begins and could not have picked a better place. From the minute we arrived we were made to feel welcome and completely at home by the amazing couple the run the place. Our cottage was perfect although we booked last minute and missed out on a lake view cottage. The food was outstanding and the spa package left us ready to tackle another year of work. 10/10!
