About this property

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”

Short stay
I booked this property for my wife and some friends travelling from interstate for her 40th. Initially we wanted to use the property for a cosy staycation but due to problems with neighbours this wasn't allowed. The property was nice, location was remote enough to feel secluded (despite the aforementioned neighbour issues) but close enough to Montville for essentials. Unfortunately my wife's stay was interrupted by a cyclone resulting in changed flights for friends and family, lots of coming and going to the airport, shortened stays and not allowing for the relaxing stay I was hoping for. Obviously this is no fault of the owner. Overall I'd recommend the property although I do feel the price is too high given the restrictions.

Our stay at Magical Malindi was everything we hoped it would be. The house is stunning, set in an amazing location in peaceful bush with spectacular views across the valley and lake. The property is very close to local attractions like Australia Zoo and Yandina Ginger Factory, which the grand kids enjoyed very much. Our group of family and friends all had a memorable 4 days celebrating 3 birthdays and having a great time together. Thank you to Tony and Patty for being so helpful and presenting such an awesome holiday house fully equipped with absolutely everything we needed.Ian and Diane

Tony and Patty make the experience seamless and stress free. Their home is amazing and it is now going to be a yearly thing for the 7 of us ladies after spending the weekend there in 2023 and just last weekend. You could be anywhere. The views are incredible and the house is so beautiful you don’t want to leave so we don’t. We check in and simply stay for the duration. We have already booked for next year.

The home was absolutely beautiful. Unfortunately my husband and daughter fell ill so our lovely break was spent at the pharmacy and trying to get my 8 year olds fever down. We are sad we never got to enjoy the beauty of the area or the house but hope to be back another time. Thank you for having us - Carrie

Amazing views, clean and comfortable
My friends and I enjoyed spending time in the house and the views from every room were magical. It was very clean and owners responsive. Good setup although it would be good if coffee pods were provided as couldn’t find the ground coffee for the coffee plunger and we’d brought the wrong size pods. Would love to return again.
