Fodor's Expert Review Maleny Tropical Retreat

At the end of a steep driveway, ensconced in a misty rain-forest valley, lies this romantic B&B retreat. Each room in this Bali-inspired retreat has a balcony with dual hammocks or an elevated deck overlooking the rain forest, as well as a fireplace, free Wi-Fi, and a glass-wall spa bath with views of Lake Baroon and Obi Obi Creek. There's also a well-appointed, self-catering cabin, and five deluxe villas with hot tubs, wood fireplaces, and private decks. Hiking trails from the house lead to the creek and a private swimming hole; order a picnic or barbecue basket and enjoy the environs.
