Montville

Settled by fruit growers in 1887, sleepy little Montville has sprung to life in recent years to become a magnet for visitors. Perched atop the Blackall Range with panoramic views over the length of the Sunshine Coast below, this regular "Tidy Town" winner resembles a traditional English settlement built around the village green.

Daytrippers flock here to wander the maze of shops, potteries, galleries, cafes and restaurants. There's a signposted Heritage Trail through the village and the Country Women's Association has created a fascinating Senses Trail. An enjoyable short drive or energetic tramp down picturesque Western Avenue (Montville's other street!) gives access to the northern side of beautiful Lake Baroon. For visitors there's an extensive choice of accommodation for all tastes and budgets. But be warned, advance bookings are recommended, especially over weekends and the popular winter months.
