Magical Malindi - Rainforest and Lake views

Recently, it was announced in the media that out of the 50,000 plus Bnb's in Australia, Magical Malindi was given the distinction of being placed in the top 10.

"Magical Malindi" is just as it is named with breath taking views, absolute privacy, a feeling that you are a million miles from nowhere and yet only minutes from the picturesque village of Montville. Set in between the Obi Obi Valley and the wilderness of the Mary Valley this is the magic of Malindi.

Malindi's thirty-two rain-forested acres offers total privacy and tranquil seclusion accessed by a 400 meter driveway in a quiet cul-de-sac. Uninterrupted 270 degree views to Lake Baroon and up to the Obi Obi Valley.

Enjoy the 344 square metre architecturally designed glasshouse of magnificent proportions. The home includes 4 bedrooms, a master with en-suite; a guest room with its own en-suite and private sitting area; another two bedrooms have access to another full bathroom. It offers open plan dining and living area with the main featuring stunning cathedral ceiling, gourmet kitchen, deck surrounding lower level and private deck to upper level master.

Malindi is an outdoor and nature enthusiast's haven, far from any main roads the only sounds that you hear are those of the abundant birdlife in the area. We have a list of over 70 species of birds spotted from Malindi. The lush vegetation and the position of the property nestled into the hillside creates a micro climate that protects Malindi from strong winds and yet allows gentle breezes up from the valley.

Awaken to the sight of a misty morning. Sunbathe on your own secluded deck, or cool off in the deck-side plunge pool. Wander through Malindi's parkland and listen to the natural music of rainforest wildlife. And when night dances upon your shoulders, let the rhythms of the rainforest gently rock you to sleep.

In the middle of nature, in the middle of the Sunshine Coast, but so far away from everything and yet so close to it all, Magical Malindi.

“For your added security, this property "Magical Malindi" is only managed in Australia and we never request payments be made to overseas bank accounts”

The Perfect Destination For So Many Occasions.

Nature Enthusiasts - An exclusive blend of nature and luxury set in total seclusion. The birdlife in Malindi's 32 acre wonderland will excite every enthusiast.

Wedding Accommodation - The bride can prepare for her wedding in a serene and relaxed setting. Sensational for wedding photo shoots.

Family Holiday Escape - Spend memorable time with your family in an idyllic rainforest setting.

Girls Getaway - Hear nature's most beautiful songs. Exchange stress and tension for bliss and relaxation.

Corporate Retreat - Ideal for small group bonding sessions. Blow away the carbon-dioxide by breathing in pure rain forested oxygen. You will be energised to brainstorm the path to greater success.

Simply Magical
Seven family members plus our grandson stayed together to celebrate a milestone birthday in the family. The property is truly amazing with soaring ceilings and floor to ceiling glass overlooking Lake Baroon. A magical place to reconnect with family and nature, with local attractions a short drive away.

Just like the pictures = beautiful!
Our family were in awe of the beautiful home with its stunning views. The house was everything we wanted and more. It was comfortable, cool (on the hottest of days,) and so relaxing. I hope to return soon, with my friends, so they can also experience Magical Malindi. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Magical weekend
Thank you Tony and Patty for sharing your beautiful home. Everything was so beautiful and perfect for our annual catch up. It was so lovely to see everyone's faces as they walked into the lounge and just took in the scale of the windows and the view across the lake. We loved the home, the spa bath, the kitchen, the gardens and of course the stunning gardens and birds that came to feed each day. Thank you - we would happily return to stay again.
