“Tucked into the Tibouchina covered hillside on the Obi Obi Road at Mapleton is Taman Sari, two very private and luxurious pavilions, that is arguably the finest accommodation available in the Hinterland. “The attention to detail is amazing” “One of the unique aspects is the huge spa room with its pebbled floors. The spa is cantilevered to capture the view yet retain privacy……ahh, bathroom bliss is guaranteed!”
“Taman Sari exudes 5-star luxury and is truly heaven on earth.”

Helen Flanagan, The Noosa Journal magazine March 2003




“Arriving at Taman Sari Pavilions, just under two hours north of Brisbane, was a pleasant surprise.
The retreat was serene, luxurious and understated. The simple sandstone pillar at the entrance is an indication of the pavilions’ style of modern Australian architecture augmented with an Asian influence.”
“The tasteful and spacious facilities at Taman Sari promote a feeling of wellbeing.”

Cath Hart, The Courier Mail, June 2003

“This is life and an abode as they should be. Serene, tranquil, splendid and without compromise.
