    Perfect. Couldn’t fault our beautiful stay at JanDar.

    A little road noise on the Monday we were there but didn’t detract from the overall experience.

    Stayed 3 nights in the Figtree Villa. Contactless check in suited us. The villa was modern and perfectly appointed. The complimentary platters were a beautiful and welcoming surprise as we weren’t sure if they were included after viewing the website. The complimentary breakfast was exceptional with enough included for two full breakfasts. The ambience with the log fireplace, the private heated large hot tub spar on the deck and the most gorgeous enormous Figtree only a few meters from the deck and lit up at night made for the perfect setting to relax and unwind from the stresses of everyday life. We were seeking a private , secluded and relaxing break and JanDar delivered completely. Have already recommended to family and friends. Thank you JanDar.

    If the bathroom door wasn’t closed at night, the light from the window would be peeking into the bedroom making hard to sleep, if you didn’t have a sleeping mask with you.

    Everything 😊 set in a quiet location surrounded by nature and trees, makes it a peaceful & idyllic stay for solo travellers or a couple. Beautiful decor, warm, cosy and comfortable place. Loved the fireplace and spa pool! (Jacuzzi) The freshly store bought bread with handmade jams and the small basket of breakfast food provided was a lovely extra touch to our stay.

    Only 2 English breakfast tea bags in the tea caddy, more choices of other ones herbal etc..good coffee pods and machine tho. A booklet or something with information on where to eat, take away etc would have been useful too.

    Our heater wasn't working, we rang to let them know, 45 minutes later they were there to fix it, we didn't expect them to do that so quickly. It was comfortable and clean.

    This is not a criticism , just wanted to inform the property management that the shower nobs are loose / leaky. May be a quick fix.

    The accomodation was excellent, ambience really good.

    A beautiful place to stay, quirky cottage with views over the rainforest and African touches. A great size with two large bedrooms. Once the sun was setting, the wildlife came alive and so lovely to hear it all sitting on the balcony with a wine.

    Bedding was a bit rough but we might be picky 🤣

    Great location, lots do in & around Maleny. Great distance from Australia Zoo & very affordable for what you get. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook & a smaller BBQ on the balcony. Great cooling & heating systems. Child friendly but would also be great for a friend group. We can't wait to come back.
