Howdy everyone!

As promised I’d thought I’d share with you a little of the beautiful accommodation and service we received whilst our venture up to Maleny for my Raw Food class as Kind Living Cafe.

Lucy arranged for us to stay in the picturesque and relaxing King Spa Suite at Aritsan Spa Views Bed & Breakfast for the evening following the class I had conducted so we jumped at the chance.

We left Baby M with the grandparents and enjoyed some adult only time in the luxury B & B which boasts the largest spas in Australia with outdoor views of this unique volcanic region right from your spa bath tub.

Randy greeted us on arrival and later I met his lovely wife, Maree, who would be one of the students in my class that night, and we enjoyed chatting about Randy’s Artisan wood work (hence the name “Artisan”) of which is showcased in each of the rooms from the headboard to the door frames and skirting, no detail is left untouched.

Maleny is famed for it Bed & Breakfasts and couple getaways (hence the missing baby) and although we only had one night to really enjoy our surrounds, we’ll be back for sure.

Various activities such as  hiking, horseback riding, mountain biking, abseiling and kayaking are all available locally or why not stay in your room and enjoy the time spent with your loved one – oh and that spa too!

Maree and Randy offer complementary breakfast and cater to all dietary types, with Maree learning more about Raw Food cuisine through her classes at Kind Living Cafe, so it’s a wonderful option for us Raw Foodies.

Breakfast for me was a fruit plate which was so delicious and in season

Pat chose the cooked breakie.

Afterwards we took the short drive to the closeby town of Montville

And daydreamed about a move here someday

Revelling in the greenery that is such a vast difference from where we live in the desert here in Saudi Arabia.

And played silly buggers, in the country side:

checked out a winery

before hitting the European styled village for lunch

Poet’s Cafe [My favourite]

Shopping

At the village’s famous Clock Shop

It was like we had stepped out in Germania.

and picked up some fudge for our parents (babysitters!)

before racing home back to Baby M.
