Stay
Private Luxury & Spectacular Views
Our cottages have been carefully planned and prepared to provide absolute comfort and luxury. As an exclusive adult retreat, Lillypilly's invites slow, intimate getaways surrounded by the beauty of the Sunshine Coast Hinterland. Freshly cooked breakfast is delivered to your door each morning, while optional multi-course dinners let you enjoy a private restaurant experience without leaving your cottage.
Arrive, settle in, eat well, and sleep deeply. You will feel the tension begin to loosen. That is the Lillypilly's effect - you don't need a long holiday to experience it. Even a few days will leave you relaxed in ways you had forgotten.

The Luxury of In-Cottage Dining
A Masterclass in Hinterland Gastronomy. Wake each morning to a hot gourmet breakfast delivered straight to your cottage door. As twilight falls over the Blackall Range, your cottage transforms into a fine-dining sanctuary — where Chef Josef curates sophisticated multi-course dinners (Wednesday–Saturday), marrying classic European techniques with bold modern Australian flavours and premium local ingredients.
Cottages of Refined Comfort
Whether you are escaping alone for some quiet reflection or sharing a retreat with someone special, each of our five private cottages is a self-contained world designed for you. Think deep spa baths, wood fires, queen beds dressed in quality linen, and verandahs that open onto nothing but birdsong and greenery.
Exceptional food, total privacy, and the sounds of the hinterland are the only company you need.
The Ultimate Women's Creative Retreat
From November 2026, Lillypilly's hosts two exclusive six-night creative retreats for women, in collaboration with Once Were Wild Travel. Immerse yourself in masterclasses with world-class artisans — from charcoal drawing to glassblowing to botanical eco-printing — alongside rainforest pampering, luxury cottage accommodation, and custom meals paired with premium Australian wines.
Hosted by 30-year Maleny locals Adele and Barbara, this is a bold, unforgettable escape designed to leave you deeply inspired.

Hinterland Sophistication, Country Soul
Fine dining delivered to your door. A spa bath drawn as the sun sets over the Blackall Range. A wood fire crackling while the hinterland falls quiet. At Lillypilly's, luxury isn't loud - it's the unhurried feeling of having everything you need and nowhere else to be.

Your Private Adult & Dog-Friendly Sanctuary
Welcoming Your Four-Legged Companion. We are delighted to welcome one small-to-medium, house-trained dog per cottage (low or non-shedding breeds are beautifully suited to our space). To maintain a serene environment for all guests, we kindly ask that your pup is never left unattended in the cottage and stays off the beds and sofas.
Please advise us at the time of booking if you wish to bring your dog. This allows us to confirm suitability and provide guidelines to ensure a comfortable stay for all guests.
Please note: To keep our cottages pristine for future guests, a $100 specialized cleaning or replacement fee may apply if extensive pet hair or damage requires extra care at checkout.

A Birdwatchers Paradise on your Doorstep
Escape to the crisp hinterland air and immerse yourself in one of Queensland’s premier birdwatching destinations. Surrounded by lush subtropical rainforests and rolling green hills, Lillypilly’s offers a tranquil sanctuary where your birding journey begins the moment you step onto your private deck. Wake up to the iconic calls of Green Catbirds, Wompoo Fruit-Doves, and flashing colors of the Regent Bowerbird or Paradise Riflebird.
We are located just a short drive from the region’s top birding hotspots, including the ancient canopy of Mary Cairncross Scenic Reserve—famous for sightings of the elusive Noisy Pitta and Rufous Fantail—and the diverse avian habitats of the Maleny Precinct Wetlands. After a quiet morning on the trails, return to the comfort of your cottage to review your checklist and photograph the vibrant birdlife that visits our peaceful grounds.
