Had such a wonderful time with kids and family there. Riding the buggy in the beautiful garden, having a picnic and then watching and holding the birds sums up a great day. The owners are very nice, friendly and accommodating. 'Coco' the talking parrot sang a song and waved goodbye which was a bonus :)

Great place to visit and enjoy the food and drink on offer, fantastic facilities and ample space for picnic to let the kids run around. The view of the Glasshouse Mountains is spectacular and a great spot for photographs. The staff are polite and courteous oh and the scones with jam and cream are oh so yummy.

Maleny Dairies is a family owned business situated in the picturesque hills of Maleny. The process of milking our Guernsey gals and bottling their creamy goodness for your breakfast table is a fascinating one. On our tours ($11per person for everyone over 2)you get to see where it all happens and learn a lot about the process and the different products that we are so famous for. We have plenty of room for the children to run around so why not celebrate your child's Birthday at the farm? Give us a call today and we can discuss your needs. We also have a kiosk on the farm where you are able to purchase Cappuccino's, Milkshakes, and our famous soft-serve ice-cream which is a taste sensation! Of course if you want to bring your own picnic you are most welcome. There are also electric BBQ's for you to utilise. We are wheelchair friendly too.At Maleny Dairies we pride ourselves on having the friendliest staff that truly makes your experience with us a very happy one.
We visited Maleny Dairies with two young kids and we loved it! The staff were super friendly and our tour guide was knowledgeable. The tour itself was really interesting. We did the 2.30pm tour so that we could see the cows being milked. Our kids...MoreHi, thanks so much for visiting us and great to hear the tour was fun and the kids learned a thing or two! We hope to see you again soon!

Ive read a number of reviews recently of this iconic location and its crowdedness. A place as beautiful as Gardners Falls can only be expected to sometimes be crowded, its a true wonder of the world in its own right. Ive been coming to this spot since 1982 and its never lost its appeal. Ive been here and been the only person around, and been here when its crowded, thats just the way it is. Look past the people and take in the beauty of this place and its serenity. Bring a picnic lunch and some boardies (yes girls, boardies for you too if you want to jump off the waterfall !) and you can be guaranteed a beautiful day out.

Easy parking is available! The view of the Glasshouse Mountains on a clear and the Sunshine Coast Hinterlands is just spectacular. The air is clean and Maleny is a great place to be on a hot day. This is somewhere you'd come to if you are visited Maleny and surrounds.

It only takes a minute or two to stop here and stretch your legs. Very easily accessible, on the Maleny-Montville Road, the lookout provides a stunning view across the hinterland. On all but the most hazy or rainy days, the view is incredibly beautiful.

We have been including Art on Cairncross on our "must do while visiting the Sunshine Coast" list for many years. They showcase local, national and international artists, and it's worth visit to just browse, which they don't mind. You never know, you just might see something that takes your fancy!
Jane and Tony display an amazing array of all types of artwork from huge paintings and sculptures; facemasks (these have to be seen to be believed); to smaller pieces and jewellery.
There is something here for every budget, and we believe that if required it is possible to lay-by pieces, though we always must take ours with us!
We rarely leave without making a purchase of some description. Our last visit saw us leave with a painting, a tiny sculpture, a glass piece, and a beautiful Freshwater pearl necklace.
They have a good website, if you're unable to visit in person, and we have bought pieces from afar. They offer a packing and Delivery service through experienced art Delivery services.
We thoroughly recommend a visit (or several!) to this delightful gallery, with its beautiful artwork and friendly, knowledgeable owners.
