About Maleny Orchard

Maleny Orchard is a 70-acre private property on Mountain View Road in Maleny, in the Sunshine Coast hinterland. A long private driveway winds through rainforest and past the orchard and lake before the land opens onto wide views over the Glass House Mountains. The property is hired whole for weddings, elopements and private events, so only one celebration is ever on the grounds. Ceremonies take place on the lawns under the wedding arbour, and the reception can be set with the venue's own dining tables, chairs and wine barrels. This is a true DIY venue. Couples bring in their own caterer, styling and drinks, and set up and pack down themselves or through their suppliers. Caterers can cook in the farmhouse kitchen or arrive as food trucks, and there is no preferred supplier list. The farmhouse sleeps ten across four bedrooms and has a large kitchen, a lounge with a fireplace, a wood-fired hot tub and a cedar sauna. One night's stay for ten comes with the wedding fee, and guests who are not staying leave the property at 10pm. Around the grounds are fruit trees, beehives and a small herd of alpacas that guests can help feed. On the day, the two onsite managers mow the ceremony area, guide parking and suppliers, light the fire pits and drive couples around the property for photos.

Pricing

Weddings for 11 to 50 guests have a flat function fee of $15,000. Elopements for 2 to 10 guests are $4,000 and are limited to mid-week dates, with some exceptions in the off season.

Both packages include 24 hours on the grounds, one night's accommodation for ten and use of the furniture and tableware; extra nights are the only add-on. Corporate functions are priced on enquiry.

Food

There is no in-house catering. Couples hire whichever caterer they like, who can work in the farmhouse kitchen with its two ovens and two large fridges, or bring food trucks onto the property.

Beverages

Drinks are BYO, which keeps that part of the budget in the couple's hands. Glassware is supplied, along with six wine barrels and 18 stools for the reception.

Availability

The property hosts one event at a time, booked in 24-hour blocks. Send an enquiry to arrange a viewing of the grounds before booking.
