Weekend at Sweetwater
Excellent property, has everything you need to enjoy a country stay. Six friends, each had our own sleeping space, very comfortable beds . Excellent facilities inside and out, beautiful waterfall . A few of us enjoyed the weekend without leaving property but only 10 minutes from Maleny for those of us that sought longer walks . Highly recommend
