Potters Place Montville with Hinterland Views, Deck, Fireplace
Potters Place is a country-style cottage uniquely positioned in the heart of the Montville Historical center behind Memorial Close. With 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, suits up to a family of five. Situated on a very secluded, private acreage balanced on the escarpment’s edge (Razorback), Potters self-contained accommodation has breathtaking ocean and hinterland views directly in the middle of all the cafes, shops, art galleries and restaurants of Montville.
While Potters place does not offer the most modern house, but will offer a unique experience in a house full of character with history. On New Year’s Day 1897, ten Salvationists from Nambour rode to Razorback to lend support to local Salvationists, it was decided to open an outpost at Razorback ( where Potters Place is Currently). Wooden barracks were constructed at a cost of £28.00 using timber donated by a local sawmiller. This first Church in the district was used by all denominations. After a cyclone destroyed the barracks in 1903, services continued in the Hall which had just been completed. The block was purchased by George and Olive Carpenter in 1959 for £10.00. At the time it was a steep, tangled wilderness of lantana with wild sunflower completely covering generations of rubbish from the blacksmithy across the street. Today the home that the Carpenters built in 1974 is now called Potters Place and welcomes quests hoping share its history and beautiful location with everyone.

The name Potters Place comes from the existing pottery business that existed several decades ago - remnants of funky pottery scattered around the property.

Potters Place provided us with gorgeous views and very close to all amenities - a very clean and great place to stay. Thank you to Zahra and Brad for added help with claiming lost property too!
Step out of the cottage & you are in the middle of Montville with so many lovely little places to eat & drink but inside is perfect for a relaxing & private getaway. The log fireplace is a wonderful touch!
The property overlooks the valley, with green trees and birds. Easy access to everything.

Has an outstanding view. So convenient as it’s directly behind the Main Street. Completely private as it’s the only cottage. Beds were quite comfortable and sufficient warm bedding.
Perfect spot convenient to the main street and in easy walking distance to all the great cafes - but completely private. STUNNING views enjoyed from the deck and living room which made it hard to leave and go exploring anyway.
Lovely stay despite the dismal weather. Brilliant location within easy walk to all the cafes and shops. Easy communication with the hosts and Potters Place lived up to our expectations. Will definitely return.
This property was true to the booking. Lovely big veranda to enjoy the spectacular views with a fire pit to enjoy the night stars. Comfortable and clean inside It’s a hidden secret right on the steps of Montville.
Nice hidden gem right in the middle of Montville. Seemed like we were in the middle of nowhere with outstanding views of the hinterlands and coast. Walk 100m and you’re in the main street with cafes and restaurants.
Very nice place to stay.
We had a great time the views are stunning , the weather was perfect and we really enjoyed the fire of a night . The dogs loved it to but not many walks for them as most was no dogs allowed . The town is so cute lots of little quirky cafes and shops we loved it and would stay again
We loved everything about our stay at Potters Place. Breakfast on the deck with an amazing view was a great way to start the day. There is so much to do locally, loved checking out the local galleries and so great waterfalls. The house is really well equipped and super comfy. We would love to come back.
Beautiful private property well equipped right in the heart of Montville. A wonderful view into the valley, makes for a lovely stay relaxing on the deck or by the fire as the day passes you by. Can't wait to return.
We enjoyed 4 nights at Potters Place and wished we could have stayed longer. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. We loved the central location and enjoyed exploring all the unique shops and cafes in Montville The view from every window was stunning and we enjoyed sitting out on the huge deck. Communication with Zahra was easy and prompt.
Potter's Place is a charming little cottage with views to die for and all of Montville's conveniences and mere steps away. A great and communicative host and an absolute pleasure all around, highly recommended.
The house was beautiful with a magnificent view of the valley. Being in the heart of Montville, we parked the car and didn't need to move it again until we left - access to restaurants and shops was within walking distance. Enjoyable stay and would definitely consider this home again.

About the host
Hosted by Zahra
We both have a love for travel and hosting, and that's how we met 10 years ago. I Zahra was a tour guide and an interpreter and Brad was traveling around the world for 2.5 years through backpacking ad cycling. Since then we have tried to share our love for travel by either working in the tourism sector or hosting travelers from all different places. We started hosting guests at Potters place in July 2022. We hope we can offer a relaxing time with beautiful views to enjoy, in the heart of Montville township to our guests as we continuously work towards improving the guest experience.

One of the first 5 blocks of land in Montville with Salvation Army ownership in the late 1800's from the region's earliest logging days and horseback riders for first congregations of views and cricket games next door with first nations in the Village Green.
What makes this property unique
Private detached cottage proudly sitting as the sole building on the property. Fireplace, wide deck and northern views over the valley and coastline.
