Over the last seven years The Orangery been the source of numerous joyous occasions and gatherings, creating happy moments and memories for the Maleny and surrounding community.

Heather said she could not be more proud of the great food served and the wonderful people she had the blessing to work alongside, not to mention the many suppliers, neighbours and customers she had been fortunate to know and love over the years. She said she had fulfilled her dream of proving tasty food to those with dietary needs to feel safe while out enjoying a meal with family and friends.

People came from far and wide to visit The Orangery, which offered delectable dishes that catering excellently for all dietary needs, particularly those requiring gluten free options. Renowned for their scones and famed for their ‘High Teas’, Heather was a gracious hostess of the venue she created from scratch.

Always keen to support local charities and fundraising ventures, Heather would go above and beyond to ensure the success of events held at her venue and was a generous supporter of local clubs and organisations.

The building, located at 10 Mountain View Road, will be placed up for sale with Heather expressing her sincere hope that new owners will come along and love the space as much as she has over the years.
