SLOW STAYS

Like stepping through the closet into Narnia, the view that embraces you as you cross the threshold into this luxurious cabin will transport you to another space and time. To the beauty of unceded Jinibara country – those undulating mountains of the Blackall Range and the clouds that sweep through each morning like a guardian, checking in, raising your spirits. Scandi at Maleny is not your typical Sunshine Coast Hinterland accommodation. It’s a conscious, adults-only haven designed with every comfort in check, from the plush balcony lounges to the deep bathtub (filled with rainwater) and the salt-rimmed welcome cocktails. While you could venture out, that would be almost missing the point. Surrender to slowing down and allow yourself to be swept away by the magnificent view as you sit seduced by the silence, punctuated by the sounds of native wildlife, with cool fresh air on your face and in your lungs. As well as ensuring your stay is offset with Carbon Neutral Australia, the owners donate 50 meals to OzHarvest for each booking and are members of 1% for the Planet, allowing you to travel for good.
