Your Private Rainforest Escape

Lovestone Cottages are hidden within five acres of pristine Blackall Range rainforest — a private, romantic escape designed for slowing down, reconnecting, and disappearing into nature.

Just minutes from Montville and an easy drive from Brisbane or the Sunshine Coast, yet a world away from everyday life.

One of our favorite places on the Trip so far. The owners are amazing the cottage has just about everything we needed and then some. We are normally shower people but we both had a go in the lovely spa bath with a great view of the garden. Luckily we had a fire night the day before the storm hit so we're able to enjoy a lovely fireside drink after the BBQ. Highly recommend this amazing place for a few days R and R.

One of the highlights was the private outdoor fire area with beautiful outdoor furniture, creating the ideal spot to unwind in the evenings. Each morning, we were treated to hot pastries delivered right to our door — such a...

The grounds were also great, and I loved listening to the birds, especially the Eastern Whipbirds. The owners Tamara and Jonathan are such amazing people. They were so helpful and willing to make our stay as enjoyable as possible, and I really enjoyed...

Tam and Jon have a wonderful property. They are terrific hosts, Nothing is too much trouble. From the lovely gardens to the fully featured units everything is top notch. We loved the environmentally friendly products and produce. The breakfast far exceeded our expectations. The produce is top shelf. The extra's are amazing like fresh pastries left on the door each morning. The outlook towards lake Baroon and beautiful rainforest filled with life kept us entertained with a platter and a glass of wine. Best of all its so private. We...
