A rainforest retreat hidden within the treetops of Montville

Located in the sunshine state of Queensland, off the Sunshine Coast is a charming town called Montville. Stay at a Hinterland gem perched on the Blackall Range with many things to explore. Nearby, you can find national parks, art galleries, vineyards and local restaurants. Are you a coffee lover? Montville is oozing with fantastic coffee culture.


Pack a picnic and visit the nearby Kondalilla National Park. It is a great place to go on hikes or take a cooling swim next to a waterfall. Or if you love a more active adventure together, you can conquer the Sunshine Coast Hinterland Great Walk. A 58-kilometre trail that will reward you with panoramic views of the hinterland and coastline.

The property has six secluded pavilions dotted through the rainforest. Read a book in a hammock on the veranda where you can also spot colourful parrots, or take a dip in the swimming pool. Relax in your double spa bath while enjoying the smell of the log fire burning. The accommodation has luxurious furnishings and views of the rainforest. For breakfast, you can enjoy a fresh gourmet breakfast hamper. For lunch or dinner, take advantage of the barbecue with some local produce. Try some Kangaroo, known to the locals as Roo! And be sure to sample some of Montville’s local cheese.
