Treetop living in Queensland's hinterland

Montville is a small town located in the Sunshine Coast's hinterland, where native wildlife and the natural rainforest and mountain surrounds are a definite highlight. When staying in Montville, it's possible to reside right amongst the rainforest, by staying in special tree-house-themed accommodation.

The family-owned Tree Houses of Montville places you near the walking tracks and waterfalls of  Kondalilla Falls National Park, while housing you in free standing and intimate houses. You might also be inclined to stay at Treetops Montville, where similar accommodation awaits with fireplaces and spa baths. Tanglewood Gardens is another rainforest retreat with a saltwater pool and hydrotherapy spa.

Rooms on the main drag

Montville's Main Street is a popular meeting place for locals and is often populated by visitors exploring the boutiques and restaurants. Spread along the road stands a collection of shops selling artisan goods and souvenirs, art galleries, and quaint dining establishments serving local and international food. There's a charming small town vibe about it all.

The Montville Mountain Inn Resort is located on the same road with rooms overlooking the mountain ranges, so you can enjoy a picturesque sunset out on the balcony. Nearby is the Treetops Seaview Montville, perched on the side of the escarpment near Main Street, featuring self-contained accommodation and spa baths overlooking the hinterland.

Leave the rest of the world behind

Montville is the type of place that allows you to break away from all means of communication and just enjoy the peace of being away from it all with that special someone. Surrounded by lush rainforests, babbling creeks and the sweet sounds of wildlife, you'll forget all about the tapping of keyboards and honking horns.

Check in at one of Montville's luxurious hotels to ensure a memorable weekend (or longer) getaway. Spicers Clovelly Estate is a European-inspired residence with breezy suites and sweeping country views. In amongst the trees and running creeks is the Narrows Escape Rainforest Retreats, where you can stay warm around a crackling fire at night and explore the region on walking trails during the day.
