Located on five acres of natural rainforest, Lovestone Cottages is a collection of luxurious private cottages in the heart of the Blackall Range. A breathtaking location where the views of Lake Baroon and the rainforest escarpment are nothing short of spectacular. Dominating the property is a 300-year-old White Fig tree; an ancient guardian of the forest from a time when the Blackall Range was abundant in unique native species. Luxurious and elegant, Lovestone Cottages are designed with complete relaxation and romantic getaways in mind. Located just five minutes from Montville, a short drive from the Sunshine Coast and 90 minutes from Brisbane. We have created your perfect excuse to escape to the rainforest. Thoughtfully positioned for privacy, each cottage offers a unique view to the rainforest, Lake Baroon or over the escarpment. A stay at Lovestone Cottages comes with all the extra touches that make a weekend getaway something to remember. A feature of each cottage is the double spa bath, fireplace and breakfast hamper upon arrival.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Leticia C wrote a review Sept 2023
Brisbane, Australia
5.0 of 5 bubbles
For years I have said to my husband that I want that romantic getaway, you know the one that you see in the movies and wish that it was just as magical in real life. This year he finally made my wish come true. For weeks he searched for places and one Sunday afternoon he stumbled upon Lovestone Cottages Montville. From the very first conversation with Tam my husband knew this was going to be special. Tam was amazing. She asked what we wanted, she listened and boy did she deliver. Our weekend surpassed all of our expectations and more. From the moment we arrived we felt like we were in a dream. Tam and Jon have thought of everything. We felt like we were in a secluded place away from everyone but really spoiled at the same time. Delicious hampers or baked treats delivered, massage services and all the while in quiet seclusion being able to enjoy each other's company. it was a truly magical experience that I will be sure to do again. PS the best cooks in Montville are Tam & Jon. They have sourced some of the most amazing local produce in the area.

Hello Leticia, Thank you for such an incredible review! Your words truly left us on a high - and reminded us why we do what we do❤. We are so happy to have helped make your getaway special. We take great pride in offering our guests not just high quality service but a thoughtful and memorable experience. We know that everyone has a different idea of what their perfect weekend away would be, and we want to help bring these ideas into reality. We love supporting our locals 🥰 Jon and I know how lucky we are to have so many incredible produce places around us, and we want to make sure everyone knows about it too! When we renovated Lovestone Cottages, we really wanted to offer the feeling of being secluded but spoiled at the same time - it is truly wonderful to know that we were able to do that for you both. Thank you so much for taking the time to let us know how much you enjoyed staying with us. Kind regards, Tamara and Jonathan Lovestone Cottages, Montville⛺

Thank you for your review Journey547953 of your recent stay in Quandong Cottage. We love to hear our guests enjoy their escape away from reality. Glad you found more than enough supplies in your pantry, we do like to provide a range of goodies for our guest to try. Sleeping in our very comfortable king sized beds, and breathing in the fresh mountain air is something we are so lucky to have in abundance. Hope to see you again, maybe in winter!

We had a wonderful stay at Lovestone. A perfect place to recharge and reconnect. All the little touches made it so very special and a place we would definitely recommend and visit again!
Tamara and Jonathan were so welcoming, caring and attentive to detail from the beginning. Our breakfast hamper still makes my mouth water, candles, plush towels and robes just made our stay complete relaxation in a little rainforest haven. Ahhh take me back!

Impeccable, truly can't fault our stay.
We wanted a relaxing, zero hassle trip away before the baby comes and Tam and Jon really made us feel special.
The accommodation was spectacular. From the moment we arrived we felt a wave of calmness from the hospitality and proximity to nature.
We will Definitely be back!

We stayed in the newly renovated Maple cottage and it was just pure divine luxury! The attention to detail in the cabin was amazing from towel warmers to locally sourced produce provided in our fridge. We had an amazing view of Lake Baroon and the only noise you can hear are the birds. The cabin is not located close to others which gives you a secluded feel. The bed was very comfy and all the kitchen utensils including salt, pepper and oil provided. There was free wifi. Tam was very welcoming and made sure everything was perfect for our stay. Will be definitely going back again!

We love hearing that Maple cottage is divine luxury. The views and bird life are spectacular and provide a memorable experience for those who have been lucky enough to experience it. Freshly sourced local produce is something we like everyone of our guests to enjoy and are continually looking for yummy goodies to provide our guests. Each cottage is definitely secluded from the other, providing the privacy we all enjoy whilst away on holidays. Thank you for staying with us we always look forward to seeing our guests again. Please remember to book directly by calling Tam or using our website, you will always get a better deal. Regards, Tamara & Jonathan Lovestone Cottages

Due to a last minute cancellation, my wife and I were fortunate enough to secure a booking at this property. From the moment I made the enquiry until we checked out, the property owner Tamara could not be more helpful.
We stayed in the recently renovated "Maple" cabin and it was truly relaxing, isolated and perfect in every way. Included in the room rate is a breakfast hamper which is ready waiting for you on arrival.
It was quite overcast, raining and cool when we arrived however, this made the rooms settings even more wonderful and we were able to enjoy some drinks around the beautiful fire whilst looking over the rain-forest from the spa.
If your looking for an all inclusive stay with a difference, I would highly recommend you consider this property. The only disappointment was having to leave..

NB - Tamara organised a dinner reservation for us at Wild Rocket restaurant in Montville.. this is also a great option should you choose to leave the room.

Thank you SteveF for such a great review. We do strive to be as helpful as possible as we believe this is the corner stone of customer service, so thank your for mentioning this. Whilst the renovation of Maple cottage has created an incredible deluxe experience, we would say that each of our cottages is situated so that they are physically isolated from one another, but each share a view of their own. Our locally sourced breakfast hamper is something we offer to all of our guests as it is small taste of what our producers here on the Sunshine Coast Hinterland have to offer. Montville has some great restaurants, such as #Wild Rocket and they too support a number of our local producers. Hope to see you again sometime. Kind regards, Tamara & Jonathan #Lovestone Cottages

Almost at the end of a wonderful 2 night stay in the beautifully appointed Quondong Cottage.🥲

Everything exceeded our expectations, from the wonderfully warm welcome from our host Tamara ( Jon was busy working!) to the luxury that greeted us when we opened the door, to all the thoughtful little touches scattered throughout, all was perfect. My dietary needs were not a problem, I am a coeliac and there was an abundance of gluten free goodies provided.

We would absolutely recommend Lovestone Cottages to anyone. So thankful to be able to have had some time to relax in stunning surroundings and absolute privacy.

Hello Elizabeth and Stephen, thank you for leaving us a lovely review of your stay in Quandong Cottage. We love hearing the surprised sounds and seeing how guests react when they open the door for the first time - it almost compares to a reveal on The Block 😁 When it comes to dietary requirements, specifically coeliac, we take the selection and preparation of GF food seriously, so thank you for mentioning this. We appreciate your recommendation and are glad you had time to relax and enjoy your stay. Regards, Tamara and Jonathan Lovestone Cottages, Montville

Fantastic. My wife and I returned here to where we had out honeymoon 20 years ago and had a great time again. The owners went out of their way to provide some extra services and treats. The lake view cottage was excellent with an awesome view and all the needs. Great location and easy drive to access sights and shops. Immaculate presentation, well equipped, comfy bed and airy. A/C available but did not need it even in Summer. The breakfast items that were provided were lovely and we really enjoyed using the deck and BBQ facilities to enjoy the outdoors with convenience. Very private and beautiful natural surrounds again. Complementary wine for booking direct with them was appreciated too. The optional food hamper of local goods we ordered was well worth it. The decked walkway is a great new addition. Look forward to coming back sometime to experience the expansion plans and to explore the rest of the hidden bush property out the back.

Thank you seandN4839TP for such a great and detailed review. We are very happy to have met you both and to hear you both had a memorable stay. Some people are unaware of the history of Montville Grove, it celebrates 29 years of history this year. Whilst we have not owned the property for that long, we receive a lot of return guests, which is always lovely. Is it not incredible to that you were here to celebrate your honeymoon 20 years ago, congratulations on your incredible milestone, we wish you the best for the next 20, and hope that you will see the difference on your next visit :-D We are so glad you enjoyed the little extra treats we provided, these little treats are always evolving depending on the season. The breakfast hamper is full of fresh local goodies and we will strive to continue to provide great tasting breakfasts. Additionally, It is always a pleasure to source and provide specific, local produce. So glad they were devoured. The private views to the Lake always takes peoples breath away, but it is genuinely lovely to hear those who have visited before say how beautiful it is. There are certainly some incredible features here at Montville Grove. Our wooden rainforest boardwalk certainly is a great example and walking on it gives you the feel of walking in among the tree tops. The natural rainforest below the property is a work in progress and we hope that it you, along with our other guests will enjoy that in time to come. Warm regards, Tamara and Jonathan Montville Grove

Every tiny detail was planned for us in this clean and tidy cottage. Such as filtered water, a pre set wood fire with plenty of wood, coffee and hot chocolate with generous amount of milk in the fridge, the kitchen was well stocked even with oil salt pepper and wrap.

We felt so relaxed in the gorgeous surrounds gazing at the bright Milky Way stars and really connecting and relaxing. Early nights in the super comfy bed (rejoice) topped it all off.

Was truly sad to go home

Thank you PAJ7580 for your lovely review. Love the title of your review! We do work very hard at keeping our cottages well stocked and maintained for our guests. It is the little things we believe that make the experience a memorable one. Our expansive gardens are on steadily being rejuvenated to allow everyone to see those natural views. Yes sitting in the hammock, the view of the milky way is so close you can almost feel like you are touching them. Glad you enjoyed that bit of serenity. Hope to see you both again sometime soon.

Do your self a favour book a cottage at this place you won’t be disappointed.
Firstly introductory glass of champagne, breakfast hamper and cheese platter awaiting you in the fridge. You awake to the sound of birds and when it gets chilly at night they have that covered to a lovely wood fire.
Great hosts who certainly know their craft highly recommend a visit .
