About Spicers Tamarind Retreat
When you think of Australia’s natural beauty, stretches of golden sand and surf usually comes to mind. But head away from the coastline to the Sunshine Coast hinterland and you’ll find Maleny, home to lush green hills, Australian rainforest, and Spicers Tamarind Retreat. The hotel’s verdant setting makes it a true R&R haven, especially for travellers who have already hit up the big cities. For extra privacy check into one of the villas, but even the studios, which connect to the Spicers Tamarind’s own cooking school, come with a private deck, cedar wood hot tub, and a pretty spectacular rain forest view. Restaurant The Tamarind specializes in Thai-inspired cuisine, and there are also restaurants, cafes, and local breweries to explore around Maleny’s artistic town center.
