Spicers Tamarind Retreat is uniquely situated next to Gardners Falls in a beautiful rainforest on a picturesque 18-acre property. Maleny is nestled in the gorgeous hills and countryside of the Sunshine Coast Hinterland. The nearby towns of Mapleton, Montville and Noosa and the Eumundi Markets (on Wednesdays and Saturdays) are wonderful to share with someone special at an unhurried pace.
