Stayed at Maleny Tropical Retreat recently, and while it has a lot of potential, some upkeep issues made the experience less enjoyable.
Pros:
• Location – Fantastic spot, easy access to local towns.
• Views – Absolutely stunning scenery, a highlight of the stay.
• Atmosphere – Quiet and peaceful, ideal for relaxation.
• Space – Rooms are spacious, offering a comfortable environment.
Cons:
• Maintenance Issues – Noticeable wear and tear, particularly with furniture. The outdoor couch had ripped covers.
• Cleanliness – Excessive dust buildup on mirrors and picture frames, showing a lack of thorough cleaning.
• Kitchen Condition – A glaring hole where the dishwasher used to be, which is now dirty and messy, detracting from the overall aesthetic.
• Bedding – Sheets and underlay didn’t properly fit the bed and were showing their age, leading to an uncomfortable sleep.
Overall, it’s a great location with stunning views and a peaceful atmosphere. However, the accommodation could use some serious attention to maintenance and cleanliness to truly make it an excellent stay. If those issues were addressed, it would easily deserve a higher rating.
