Jinibara Cottage is our private couples retreat, designed for guests who want privacy without compromising on space or comfort. Inside, the cottage features a generous lounge area that captures sweeping views towards Maleny, with a wood-burning fireplace creating a warm and inviting space to unwind. The well-appointed kitchen includes a Nespresso machine, and the air conditioned queen bedroom is dressed with premium linens for a restful night’s sleep. A large, fully-accessible bathroom adds an extra level of comfort. Step outside onto your private terrace to take in the rolling hinterland views, or spend the evening beside your own cosy fire pit under the stars.

Hi, I’m Brenton! When I’m not hosting, you’ll usually find me outdoors—either on the farm, in the gym, or planning my next adventure somewhere new. I love meeting people, discovering different cultures, and sharing the kind of warm, easygoing hospitality that makes travel memorable. I’m all about good energy, great conversations, and making sure guests feel comfortable, welcomed, and a little bit spoiled during their stay. Looking forward to hosting you!

Dundalli Estate sits right on the Maleny–Kenilworth tourist route, placing you at the heart of the Sunshine Coast hinterland. Both towns are an easy 20-minute drive in either direction, making it simple to explore the region’s farmers markets, dairies producing award-winning cheeses, artisan bakeries, and some of Queensland’s most beautiful walking trails. From here you can spend your days discovering waterfalls, rainforest lookouts and scenic country roads, before returning to the quiet comfort of the estate as the sun sets across the range. The estate takes its name from Dundalli, a First Nations freedom fighter of the 1800s. His story forms part of the rich and complex history of the Sunshine Coast hinterland, and the name offers a small acknowledgement of the deep cultural heritage of this land. Today, Dundalli Estate offers a relaxed country escape where guests can slow down and reconnect with nature. We are especially popular with motorcycle touring groups travelling the Maleny–Kenilworth loop, as well as couples and small groups looking for a peaceful base to explore the hinterland. Here you will find the best of both worlds. A convenient location close to the highlights of the Sunshine Coast hinterland, paired with the comfort of a country retreat.
