We were a group of 4 (and a half i.e. a grandma) families who spent our Xmas holiday (5 days) there. We enjoyed every bit of it. Great place with good amenities and plenty of space. Lynda and Trevor were wonderful and most helpful with everything. There is a antique shop downstairs that will keep you entertained when open. We did some shopping there too.
Wonderful house with good undercover area for the adults to take refuge in the evenings, to read a book or play a game of chess.
Pluses were:
- Location ideally between Montville and Maleny close to everything you need. and all the attractions
- Character, i.e. the place feels like going to your grandma's house
- Space, plenty of it for a large group, adults and kids
- Owners, very helpful and communicative
- Amenities (3 toilets and bathrooms)
- Supplied towels and linen all clean and high quality
- A very generous and kind welcome hamper
Areas for improvement:
- Smallish kitchen for the size of the house. Small cooktop and bench space. Not ideal if you want to do gourmet cooking
- Furniture a bit tired (although they give it the character but still could be a bit better quality with the lounge suits and some of the beds)
- Noise from the road (it is on the main road after all) but not too bad during holiday period
- As house is on tank water, there is a bit of concern with use of water for example using the spa doesn't feel good.
- Perhaps due to the tank water, the dishwasher was very smelly so we were not able to use it during our stay. On the positive note it was a good excuse for people binding while doing the dishes:-)
All in all, we had a wonderful and memorable holiday. Highly recommended.
