With one of the best views on the range, impeccably kept grounds and romanticism you could cut with a knife, the sheer beauty of the place is the first thing you notice on arrival. The second thing you notice is the warm welcome from managers Marlene and Simon Murray and their fantastic team. Forget the pretty landscape, delicious food, and stylish interior nothing short of design perfection, it’s the staff that are the best asset at The Manor. Well, you know, try to forget… And fail intently! When we visited, it was soon clear we would be left with nothing but a very lasting impression indeed.

If you are searching for a guaranteed beautiful and seamlessly coordinated wedding, you only need hear of Maleny Manor’s well deserved amazing reputation for putting on a delightful day for couples every single week. If that’s not enough, they have the awards to prove it! Maleny Manor has been named the number one wedding venue in Australia by the Australian Bridal Industry Academy several times over.

We always think it’s great when you can have your ceremony, bridal party photos and reception with your guests all in once place, especially if you have invited out-of-towners, who don’t necessarily know their way around. The amazing thing is with Maleny Manor, you can have all of that, plus your wedding night accommodation for yourselves, as well as your close family and bridal party as part of your wedding package.
