A modern-rustic restored dairy farm venue on a 90-acre property atop a valley, marketed as a blank canvas. Recent additions include a rainforest boardwalk and a bridge-house walkway from the carpark.
The Old Dairy is exactly what the name promises: a restored dairy farm on 90 acres at the top of a Maleny valley, rebuilt in a modern-rustic key and then deliberately left empty. It is marketed as a blank canvas and it means it. Recent work added a rainforest boardwalk and a bridge-house walkway in from the carpark, so guests arrive through the property rather than across it.
The Mountain-View Lookout is the headline ceremony site, with uninterrupted views across the valley, and The Lawn is the open alternative, looking over the Bunya Pines. Either way a wet-weather backup location is included, along with ceremony chairs, a signing table and a wooden easel. Receptions run in The Barn and its adjoining lawns for up to 90, cocktail or seated, with the Fox and Turkey Bar on site for beverage service. Everything beyond that structure is yours to fill.
Be clear about the model, because it shapes the budget: this is dry hire. Every package is venue hire only, and catering, bar staff, beverages, glassware, tableware, linen, entertainment and styling are arranged by you, with a curated list of local suppliers provided for guidance. The Fox and Turkey Bar is operated by an approved external vendor, not the venue. An on-the-day coordinator is a paid add-on rather than an inclusion. What you do get is exclusive hire for ceremony and reception, vendor bump-in and bump-out, photo access across the grounds, parking, bathrooms, power and next-day access to collect decor. Accommodation is available on site. The Old Dairy holds 4.9 from 91 Google reviews.
Inclusions and pricing depend on the season, day and package. Confirm the detail directly with the venue.
