RESPITE ACCOMMODATION

By working closely with physiotherapists’ Apex can organize weekends away for you and your family which include a full time physio so you can have a well deserved break.
One family that has taken up this excellent opportunity is the Mayfields. They enjoyed a lovely weekend away at a converted dairy farm nestled in the rolling hills at Maleny in the heart of the sunshine coast hinterland. Arley Farm is 160 acre cattle breeding property located just 4 km west of Maleny. The property is a former dairy which spans a wide valley with three dams and is bordered by 1.5 km frontage to the Obi Obi Creek. The owners have undertaken extensive revegetation of the creek frontage which includes a delightful shady swimming hole with a shelter, picnic table and BBQ. This area is in an important riparian rainforest remnant with over 200 species of plants including strangler figs, palms and ferns which are host to abundant bird and wildlife and our resident platypus.

Farm cottage accomodation including large fully equipped kitchen, Lounge/ dining area with cosy log fire, T.V., DVD, CD, video library, Physio for child free, Vouchers, Milk, Food.
