Recently had three excellent nights at Ruddles Retreat. Was very easy to find and very tranquil location. My little one had a great time exploring the grounds and the child-gate for the upstairs was much appreciated. We had an issue pop up and Stuart was extremely responsive and went above and beyond in looking to resolve it. Would definitely look to stay here again next time I'm in Maleny.

Daniel Australia

Great location. Quiet area but a short drive to nearby town which could cater to all our needs.

Christopher Australia

Beautiful property. Serene and magical wake up to gorgeous views and the sound of birds. Stuart is so accomodating and helpful. We had a small backyard wedding on one of the days of our stay and the photos and garden area was the perfect setting for a whimsical little wedding. Can’t wait to go visit again!

Ted Australia

The house was so homely & had warming personal touches throughout. we felt like we had gone home to visit family, it was so welcoming.

Reena Australia

Views were amazing and food, sweets left for us were appreciated. Well stocked kitchen. Loved the peace and tranquility

Diane Hong Kong

The provided tea and coffee, milk and other foods were great. Driveway plants overgrown scratching our cars. Doors not closing properly and banging open during the night. The wall damaged at top of staircase due to missing gate stopper, this damaged and stopper missing prior to our arrival.

Allison Australia

Amazing views. Secluded and peaceful. Abundant bird life. Very well equipped house.

Nicholas Australia

Location was excellent. The raised deck was huge and offered an unspoilt view. Kitchen amenities were great including a breadmaker!!

David Australia

A lovely property with 360 degree views of the countryside. The fireplaces and farmhouse feel made for a serene weekend.

Zoe Australia

The quiet location and beautiful views were the highlights. The thoughtful supply of Hot Cross Buns ,Easter Eggs and hìdden Maltesers were a nice surprise. The Retreat was well appointed and spotlessly clean. As we had a toddler with us the baby gate at the top of the stairs was a bonus!
