NEAR MONTVILLE ... LATE CHECK-OUT ON SUNDAYS OF 5pm ... when booking a weekend

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.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, which features a fireplace and a Smart TV. There's a private balcony. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a DVD player is provided for your entertainment.
Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as an arcade/game room and barbecue grills.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

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.

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.

Beautiful home, spectacular views and gardens, spotlessly clean and quality throughout. Very private and peaceful, yet minutes from Mapleton. We had a truly memorable short break away with friends and can’t recommend the French Cottage highly enough.

We had an enjoyable stay. Everything was as stated in the ads. The property was very clean, the kitchen was extremely well equipped, and we certainly enjoyed the wood fire in the lounge room. We would, as a group, and as individuals stay there again.
