"The Space Between" Heaven and Earth

When you wake up in your private studio to sensational, unrestricted views of the Conondale Valley, you will be glad that you chose to stay at 'The Space Between' .... the space between heaven and earth. We are situated eight kilometers - or a mere eight minutes from Maleny - in Witta. Our property is both beautiful and private, with 270 degree views of the valley and mountains beyond. We are all about peace and serenity a place where you can relax and reconnect with nature enjoying the birdsong in the morning and the gentle rhythm of the horses ambling about in the paddocks surrounding the studio during the day. While you are with us you may feel cocooned by the mist drifting down the valley in the mornings, experience some spectacular sunsets in the evenings or even catch a glimpse of the eagles who visit us occasionally. The modern studio accommodation has its own entrance and large deck as well as the best views on the property. Open and bright, the studio has reverse cycle air conditioning and features a comfortable queen bed, sparkling clean ensuite, bar fridge, microwave & tea and coffee making facilities and a large flat screen TV with Media player and free Wi Fi. While the studio does not have full cooking facilities there is a second deck at the rear of the studio with a Weber Q, sink and second fridge - perfect for capturing shade and a breeze in summer or morning sun for your first coffee in winter. The name ‘The Space Between’ comes from an Arabian proverb that says that horses occupy the space between heaven and earth, we hope you enjoy spending time in this space with us. Guests have a dedicated parking spot in the garage with easy assess to the studio which has it own entrance. Guests do not generally have access to our residence but are welcome to enjoy all the property has to offer which includes the second deck and outdoor kitchen at the rear of the studio and paddocks surrounding the house, though we do ask you to refrain from entering paddocks with horses unless accompanied by your hosts. We are an active, retired couple so are often on hand to help with any information or issues if required. We enjoy chatting with our guests when opportunities present themselves and have made many friends we now regard as part of our family over the years - our beautiful Kelpie Monty came through guests who rescued these awesome family dogs. But we are always guided by what our guests require of us - it is your holiday after all. We are less than 10mins from Maleny in Witta and because we are off the main road very peaceful and quiet. If you are not here for a wedding or exploring this beautiful part of the planet in your travels you may be here to escape the city, relax and remember how restful green space is and how soporific the rhythms of nature can be. The natural beauty of the surrounding area makes bush walking a popular activity with walks catering for all levels of ability from Mary Cairncross Scenic Reserve and the Maleny Trail along the Obi Obi Creek to more challenging walks at Kondalilla Falls, Mt Ngungun to seriously challenging hikes up Mt Beerwah and Mt Tibbrogagun. Maleny is full of wonderful cafes catering for all tastes and the most decerning of coffee drinkers showcasing our wonderful fresh local produce. The beaches of the Sunshine Coast are 45mins away and after a day on the coast the serenity of the country will likely prove a welcome contrast. Realistically a car is virtually essential to enjoy what the area offers as public transport is limited and the terrain deters all but the most avid of cyclists. We are happy to introduce guests to our horses - our two gorgeous youngsters particularly enjoy the attention - but we do not offer any horse riding activities. We welcome doggy guests - Monty our Kelpie loves having active doggy guests - but do have a few house rules. We are not fenced for dogs and leave it up to guests how much freedom they give their pet bearing in mind our neighbors are horses, cows and alpacas. While your dog is welcome inside the studio we ask that they not be left alone inside the studio but on the secure attached deck is fine. We also ask you clean up after your dog around the house though not necessary in the paddocks.
