WHAT TO DO IN THE HINTERLAND WHILE AT ARTISAN SPA VIEWS

Here is a brief list of things to do during your stay. To make it easy, we've organized the list by weather condition.

In Warm Weather:
*Go horseback riding - Let a domesticated animal do all the hard work while you take in the scenery. Don't forget your camera!

*Try abseiling - It's easier to go down than up. Better let the vendor handle the photos on this one.

*Hike to Kondalilla Falls - It's shady and paved most of the way, and if you take your togs you can go for a dip when you get to the fall.

*Head to the beach - Did you know it's only a 40 minute drive to Kings Beach from here? It's true. Just remember to come back in time to watch the sunset from your veranda.

*Go-kart racing at Big Kart Track - There's nothing wrong with a little competition.

*Visit the Australia Zoo - You may have heard of it. You're looking at about a 25 minute drive from Artisan Spa Views.

*Have a BBQ - Please let us know ahead of time so we can ensure the grill and utensils are ready for you. You'll find all the supplies you need right in Maleny. Just 7 minutes drive.

*Order an in-room 2 or 3 course meal for two - You've had a long day. Let us pamper you now. We just need your order by 3pm the day of. Ask reception for the current menu.

*Have a spa - If it's hot out, have a cool spa.

In Cold Weather:

*Have a glass of wine by the fireplace (if you're lucky enough to book the Penthouse Jacuzzi Cabin) - Lighting a fire has never been easier!

*Try rock climbing - Get your blood pumping with an exciting outdoor adventure. The view from the top is AMAZING!

*Mountain biking - Just let your tour operator know your skill level and they'll sort out a ride that suits you.

*Go shopping - Looking for a new piece of jewelry, some fudge or some handcrafted artwork to adorn your home? Well, you are now.

*Visit a winery - Not a bad idea to organize a cab for this one. We want you to make it back safe and sound.

*Check out the Maleny Cheesery - This needs no explaining. . . It's cheese!

*Snuggle - Go ahead, don't be shy.

*Have a spa - Did we mention your room has a spa?

In Wet Weather:

*Watch a movie and order a pizza - The DVD library is in the hall and we make all of our pizzas fresh and to order. Just let us know by 3pm and we'll bring it right to your door.

*Read a book - If you forgot your favorite, just borrow one of ours. They're in the library at the end of the hall.

*Take a nap  - We won't tell anybody.

*Play a board game - You may have noticed all the drawers under the DVDs. It's where we keep the fun stuff. . . and extra brochures.

*Order an in-oom massage - Available in 30 or 60 minute sessions. You can also get couples massages. Advanced notice is required.

*Have a spa - Yeah we know we said this already, but we're called Artisan "Spa" Views, not Artisan "Don't Have A Spa" Views.

We hope this has been helpful. See you soon! (if you're not already here)
