do lots or nothing at all

At Everest, you can simply relax and soak up the tranquillity of our beautiful gardens — or, if you’re in the mood to explore, there’s plenty to discover nearby. The charming town of Maleny, known for its dairying heritage, offers scenic drives, artisan markets, and breathtaking countryside views at every turn. For tips on what to see and do, the Maleny Visitor Information Centre is handily located on the main street beside the Community Centre.
