Wake to sunrise over the Mooloolah Valley and watch eagles soar along the Blackall Range.

Perfectly positioned, only 5 minutes from both Maleny and Montville, you're central to hinterland attractions yet on a quiet ridge that feels removed from it all. Australia Zoo is 18 minutes away, Caloundra beaches 35 minutes. Enjoy the perfect base to relax and explore the hinterland.

Good to know

Cottage #2 offers spectacular valley and ocean views from its elevated position on Balmoral Ridge, with a private courtyard perfect for couples. Downstairs: Full kitchen for self-catering, open-plan living and dining and a well-appointed bathroom. Upstairs: A master bedroom and mezzanine-style second bedroom, both fitted with queen beds and quality commercial hotel linen for a proper night's sleep. Reverse cycle A/C for for cozy winters and cool summers. Your Private Courtyard: Step outside to your own lawn area with seating - the perfect spot for morning coffee with the view, an afternoon wine, or simply sitting outside to watch the birds ride the thermals along the range. While more compact than the outer cottages' gardens, you still have your own private outdoor space to enjoy. The cottage comes fully equipped with everything you need for a self-sufficient, comfortable stay. Wildlife & Views: From your cottage, watch the spectacle of native birds riding thermals along the range - wedge-tailed eagles, peregrine falcons, and flocks of yellow-tailed black cockatoos are regular visitors. Goannas and wallabies often pass through the property. The eastward aspect means magnificent sunrises, and on clear nights, the Milky Way stretches across the sky. For more information, search "mmcottages" Note: The cottages are attached townhouse-style (see property map in photos). Cottage #2 has direct access to the lawn area outside your courtyard. The larger garden areas and fire pits are exclusively for Cottages #1 and #4. The Location: You're 5-7 minutes from both Maleny and Montville's cafes, restaurants, and galleries. The Maleny Cheese Factory is less than 2 minutes away. Steve Irwin's Australia Zoo is only 18 minutes down the range. Despite being central to everything the region offers, you're on a quiet ridge with views that feel removed from it all. The beaches of Caloundra are 35 minutes away. Gardners Falls, Kondalilla Falls, Mary Cairncross Scenic Reserve, and walking tracks throughout the hinterland are all within easy reach. Maleny is also one of the few reliable places in Australia to spot wild platypus - ask us for tips on where to look. Getting Around: A car is essential for exploring the hinterland's many treasures. Local buses and taxis run infrequently and won't give you the freedom to discover the region properly.

The views were amazing and location was beautiful however there was no ocean.. The facilities inside the cottage were really good value for money..inlived the fact that it had the little extras like sauces, glad wraps and the things you wouldn't normally get in a apartment/cottage.. There was nothing we didn't like about our stay

We had the most wonderful stay at Maleny Montville Cottages! The cottage was cozy, spotless, and perfectly set in such a peaceful location with absolutely stunning views. From the moment we arrived, Gareth and his family made us feel so welcome. The setting is perfect for a relaxing escape, surrounded by nature, yet close enough to explore Maleny and Montville. We’ll definitely be back next year. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway and breathtaking scenery.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in such a peaceful setting with incredible views of the countryside. Spent time listening to the birds while watching the sunrise each morning across the landscape. Many beautiful places to visit in the surrounding area from walking in nature to enjoying local cafes. Thank you Kyla and Gareth.

Went here for mine and my friend’s birthday weekend away, absolutely breathtaking view from the cabin, had issues with a toilet blockage that was quickly resolved by the owners. Had some of the best sleeps, and got to explore the amazing towns of Maleny and Montville. Thank you for hosting us, definitely recommending this accommodation to friends and family!!
