Montvale at Montville

Tucked just off the main street of Montville, Montvale at Montville is one of the Sunshine Coast Hinterland’s most charming hidden gems. While the entrance sits only moments from the heart of town, the estate itself feels worlds away; a peaceful sanctuary surrounded by lush greenery, birdsong and the quiet beauty of the hinterland landscape.

Step through the gates and you’ll find a relaxed, welcoming venue designed for slow afternoons and memorable evenings.

The boutique gin distillery and bar sits at the centre of the experience, serving small-batch gin crafted onsite, alongside local beers, wines and cocktails. Visitors can enjoy tasting paddles, a classic G&T, or simply settle in with a drink while soaking up the tranquil surrounds.

Food is equally inviting, with hand-made wood-fired pizzas fresh from the oven; perfect for sharing on the deck as the hinterland breeze drifts through the trees.

Adding to the atmosphere, regular live music brings the venue to life, with local and touring musicians performing in the afternoons and early evenings.

Guests can find a comfortable spot on the deck or inside the stunning Glass House, enjoying great music, great drinks and the peaceful ambience of this secluded estate.

What makes Montvale truly special is the contrast between convenience and calm. Located just a short walk from Montville’s cafés, boutiques and galleries, the estate remains wonderfully private; hidden among magnolias, pine trees and native wildlife, with sweeping gardens and quiet lakeside spaces that invite visitors to slow down and relax.

Whether you’re stopping in for a wood-fired pizza and a gin tasting, catching a live music set, or simply unwinding in one of the most beautiful pockets of the Sunshine Coast Hinterland, Montvale offers a setting that feels both effortlessly close and blissfully removed from the bustle of everyday life.
