Maleny Dairies

Maleny Dairies is a family owned business situated in the picturesque hills of Maleny. The process of milking our Guernsey gals and bottling their creamy goodness for your breakfast table is a fascinating one. On our tours ($14 per person for everyone over 2)you get to see where it all happens and learn a lot about the process and the different products that we are so famous for. We have plenty of room for the children to run around so why not celebrate your child's Birthday at the farm? Give us a call today and we can discuss your needs. We also have a kiosk on the farm where you are able to purchase hot drinks, snacks and our selection of products at factory prices. Of course if you want to bring your own picnic you are most welcome. There are also electric BBQ's for you to utilise. We are wheelchair friendly too. At Maleny Dairies we pride ourselves on having the friendliest staff that truly makes your experience with us a very happy one.

We had such a lovely afternoon with a little education and fun. From feeding the calves to seeing the day to day operations of the dairy. My son loves Maleny Dairy Milk so bought him here for his 6th birthday along with my 4 year old nephew and we all had such a great time, especially sampling their products. With all the different animals and great customer service would highly recommend a visit for any age. Fun with a bit of education thanks to our tour guide Emma who was a wealth of knowledge and very easy to interact with.

Gerrards Lookout

Reviewed By Dennis120648 - Barrie, Canada

This is a great location to stop and take a look out over the Glass House Mountains area of southern Queensland. This area is about an hour by highway north of Brisbane. It is like entering another world from the big city.

Obi Boardwalk

Reviewed By Cubx4

Very close to town but feels very serene. We went looking for platypus in the desperate hope of getting a glimpse....unfortunately we didn’t spot any but we did enjoy the peacefulness. Everyone that walked past us was extremely friendly. This place just brings out the best in people. Would recommend it for a quiet picnic or like us....an opportunity to try to visualise that elusive platypus.

Visiting these old sweet shops brings back memories of the corner shop. A large selection of fantastic and somewhat naughty treats. Great service from staff that are passionate about what they sell.

Just made it to the Maleny Cheese before it closed we were lucky to sample some tasty cheeses and buy an array of cheese to take home plus some very nice passion fruit yogurt. We ordered a cheese platter and coffees which were very good. Thank you to the staff at Maleny Cheese we have been telling our friends its a place to go and have the experience of local cheese makers.
