Escape to The Lotus Cottage Maleny, your private Sunshine Coast Hinterland hideaway in Witta, 10 mins from Maleny. Self check-in via keypad, separate entrance, parking, open-plan living and a full kitchen. Brand-new bed, mattress, linen, sofa bed and kitchenware (one bedroom, one sofa bed in living room). Soak in the Japanese-style outdoor bath on your deck, then explore country walks, running loops and lookout vistas nearby. We’re close if needed, otherwise you’ll enjoy complete peace. The Lotus Cottage is a genuine exhale of a place, birdsong in the mornings, dappled light through the trees, and that feeling of being far from the rush while still close to everything you’d want in Maleny (just 10 minutes away). Set separately from the main house, The Lotus Cottage is designed to feel cosy, private, and deeply restful, a calm base for slow breakfasts, long walks, and early nights. It’s peaceful here. Really peaceful. The Lotus Cottage is a self-contained, open-plan cottage with a simple, welcoming flow: living → dining → kitchen, with a separate bedroom and bathroom. The styling is relaxed and homely, with light interiors, natural textures, and thoughtful details that make it feel like a place you can truly settle into, not just sleep in. Everything in the cottage is brand new, including the bed, mattress, linen, and kitchenware, giving the space that fresh, cared-for feeling from the moment you arrive.

We're Annie & Steve, a couple who met in the Himalayas back in 2011. We have been searching for our forever home since and found it here in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland. We absolutely love living here and feel like we're in a constant retreat which is just so beautiful. Hearing the birds in the morning is a beautiful way to wake up. We have travelled the world, stayed in Airbnbs all over from Mexico to Sri Lanka and more. We're both Buddhist, live a simple life and really enjoy meeting like minded travellers.

It is located in a very peaceful and beautiful area. Just a 10 minute walk from the house will bring you to some of the best views of the Sunshine Coast Hinterland. You'll spot wallabies and many bird species on this walk.
