About this property

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.

A perfect location for a family celebration

We celebrated our mum’s 90th birthday here and it was everything we wanted. Spacious, full of charm, so well equipped. We loved sitting around the outdoor table soaking in the view and listening to the birds. We plan to be back for many other celebrations.

Beautiful property

What a gorgeous place to celebrate my parent’s 50th wedding anniversary. We will cherish the memories created here - special meals, watching the sunrise from the deck, toasting marshmallows, lawn games, running through the pretty gardens. Thank you for all the extra creature comforts too

Easter Weekend Family Gathering

The French Cottage and Loft was perfect for 3 generations of our family to enjoy the Easter Weekend together. The kitchen is amazing and it made even cooking on holidays a joy. The gardens are well maintained and so nice to spend time just relaxing. The Mapleton IGA was very well stocked with lots of gourmet products, was a nice surprise when lots of other establishment were closed the Easter weekend. Highly recommend, would definitely stay again.

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.
