About this property
NEAR MONTVILLE ... LATE CHECK-OUT ON SUNDAYS OF 5pm ... when booking a weekend
French Cottage & Loft (close to Montville) has loads of character and is the holiday home of a Brisbane restaurant family. Ideal for family get togethers and wedding accommodation. It features quality beds, a log fire and firepit plus a gourmet kitchen where you can use the herbs and citrus from the garden. A dining gazebo overlooks one acre of stunning gardens and coastal views. You have total privacy -- a Petanque court, a play fort for the kids and lots of secret places to discover. 30 minutes to the beach.
Your opportunity to totally get away from it all ... enjoy food, wine and laughter.
Unfortunately, I am unable to allow even small weddings due to the location of the house.

About the host
Hosted by Marilyn Domenech
Our family ran a French restaurant in Brisbane for 37 years and French Cottage was our escape from that hectic life. I also owned an art gallery so the house reflects these two passions -- a very well equipped kitchen and lots of art. Now I am retired and my adult kids are busy with their lives, I wanted other people to be able to keep the house alive and enjoy the magic.
Why they chose this property
This property is set in beautiful gardens, secluded and totally private. It is an escape from the city in a charming part of the world, the Sunshine Coast Hinterland. It is an hour and a half drive north of Brisbane.
What makes this property unique
Experience another way of life, if only for a few days. The perfect place to join friends and family for laughter and good food and wine. If you book a weekend, now you get a late check-out on the Sunday of 5 pm.
The house is very well equipped with everything you could possibly need. The beds are really comfy with hotel-quality linen.
A great jumping-off point for short drives to small villages (like Yandina, Palmwood, Montville, Maleny and Kenilworth) in this verdant dairy farming area. 30 minutes to the coast and the beaches.
