Heading North
If you are driving up from Brisbane, we suggest you take the Bruce Hwy and turn onto the Steve Irwin Way to Landsborough.
Head up to Maleny on the Landsborough-Maleny Rd. Turn left onto Bald Knob Rd. Goodwater Ridge, Maleny, is on your right in approximately another 2km.
Then it’s onto The Barrel and Cloud’s Vineyard open house on Landsborough-Maleny Road. From there, head to Mountain View Rd, Maleny, to visit Maleny Orchard . Then take a drive out to Maleny Country Estate open house in Reesville.
Then head back through the Maleny township, take the Maleny-Montville Rd and make your way over to Montville and down Western Avenue, down the Narrows Rd to Secrets on the Lake. Montville will be transformed into a beautiful wedding village, with exclusive access to Montville Chapel, featuring its enchanting architecture and grand viewing platform, as well as The Edge Montville open house for breathtaking vistas and a well-deserved lunch.
Drive to Flaxton Gardens on Flaxton Drive, which will be open for lunch, and finish off your day visiting the Prideaux Estate at Ilkley on your way back to the Bruce Highway.
Heading South
If you are coming down from the Gympie region or from the Coast, we suggest coming in via Nambour and making your way up to the beautiful hinterland.
Prideaux Estate at Ilkley would be your first venue on the trail, and next, a great breakfast stop, taking in the view at Flaxton Gardens on Flaxton Drive.
Then turn left towards Montville, which will be transformed into a beautiful wedding village, with exclusive access to Montville Chapel, featuring its enchanting architecture and grand viewing platform, as well as The Edge Montville open house for breathtaking vistas.
Driving back through Montville, head down Western Avenue and then down the Narrows Rd to Secrets on the Lake nestled in the rainforest.
Head back towards Montville, then turn right onto Maleny-Montville Rd and continue to Maleny. Then take a drive through Maleny township out to Maleny Country Estate open house in Reesville.
Drive back towards Maleny and take Stanley River Rd to Mountain View Rd, Maleny, to visit Maleny Orchard open house and look over the glorious Glasshouse Mountains.
Return to Maleny, or follow Mountain View Rd and turn right onto Landsborough-Maleny Rd to The Barrel and Clouds Vineyard open house. Stay for a while to refresh!
Then continue down the Landsborough-Maleny Rd and take the Bald Knob Rd turnoff. Travel approximately 2km, and you will find Goodwater Ridge Maleny on your right.
