Maleny is situated high on the Blackall Range in the Sunshine Coast hinterland. The weather in the mountains is changeable, and guests are reminded to bring a jacket and tracksuit all year round. From Top of the Hill, there are lots of things to see and do around Maleny and its environs, e.g.:

Mary Cairncross Park - just minutes up the road, with its beautiful walks through majestic rain forest where you can make friends with the pademelons and try to identify the many birds that live here, including the magnificent regent bower bird.

Gardner's Falls - on Gardner's Lane just off the main road to Maleny. Take your lunch and enjoy a picnic on the grassy banks of the Obi Obi Creek, or swim with the locals in the cool swimming hole below the waterfall.

Maleny Cheese - a short stop along the Montville Road where you can buy prize-winning cheeses and yoghurt made on the premises.

Montville - a fascinating village specialising in boutiques, arts and crafts, galleries and restaurants is only ten minutes away.

Maleny - with art galleries, coffee shops, interesting boutiques and gift shops, and much more. You can spend a few hours just browsing and soaking up the ambience of an interesting and eclectic village. Every Sunday morning, visit the local market in the Community Hall.

Mountain View Road - for world-class views, drive the scenic route to Maleny. Overlooking the Glasshouse Mountains and with views to the coast, this has got to be one of the best photo opportunities in Australia.

Maleny Mountain Wines - one kilometre up the road, for wine-tastings and sales.
