Maleny Hotel

Maleny Hotel is a historic, family-friendly pub in Maleny, in the Sunshine Coast hinterland, with a broad mix of dining, drinks, entertainment and accommodation. Its Bunya Bistro serves a seasonal menu of pub classics, with chef’s daily recommendations and regular dining specials. Meals can be enjoyed indoors, in the leafy beer garden or on the newer deck, giving families, groups and day-trippers a choice of relaxed spaces. The venue also has off-road parking at the rear, including space suitable for motorbikes.

The bar is set up for sports fans, showing major sporting action on the big screen, while the hotel’s programme includes live entertainment, special events and trivia. Regular activities include Thursday trivia, Friday’s Jag the Joker and free pool on Mondays, with other promotions and music events scheduled throughout the year. The venue also offers a Liquor Legends bottle shop with in-store shopping, click and collect and delivery options. Events can be catered for with set or customisable function packages, and the bistro can accommodate occasions such as birthdays, engagements, anniversaries, wedding receptions and group meals.

For guests staying in the area, Maleny Hotel offers two distinct accommodation options: a newly renovated house for a more private stay and pub-style rooms with an old-fashioned character. The hotel describes its rooms as clean and comfortable, making them a practical base for travellers wanting to explore Maleny and the surrounding hinterland. It suits visitors from Montville and across the Sunshine Coast looking for a meal, a drink, a community event or somewhere to stay.

The hotel’s connection with Maleny stretches back more than a century. Its own history describes a venue that once served as a meeting place for loggers, bullock drivers, farmers and their families, and that has continued to change alongside the local community. Today, it positions itself as a place for both locals and travellers, with an emphasis on family dining, local producers, community support and accessible entertainment. Whether you are joining a group for dinner, watching sport at the bar, attending trivia or booking a function, the offering is varied without moving far from its traditional pub setting.
