Located in Montville, a quaint hinterland town on the Sunshine Coast, the Retreat is just over one hour from Brisbane Airport, 35 minutes from Maroochydore Airport and 50 minutes from the beaches of Noosa and Coolum. 

Set on a gentle rise in the tranquil Sunshine Coast hinterland hills, Spicers Clovelly Estate has a reputation for exceptional dining and a wonderfully charming and relaxed atmosphere. As you enter the property, passing between the grand figs, shaded jacarandas and groves of magnolias, the stunning frame of a French provincial style guest house greets on arrival. The estate unfolds in every direction around the main guest house, surrounded by beautiful gardens, rolling grass hills and natural rainforest. A short winding walk through the grounds leads to the west facing Lake View Deck overlooking Lake Baroon, while the garden terrace and pool take in sun-drenched views towards Montville.

Designed with luxurious comfort as the first priority, every one of the 10 suites in the main estate is an oasis of calm. From beautiful modern French furnishings, to the heated marbled bathrooms and luxurious linens, all rooms offer a subtle blend of the traditional and the modern. The luxuriously appointed Montville House features six bedrooms, each with a private ensuite and its own distinctive character. The suites possess the elegant French provincial style that Spicers Clovelly Estate is known for plus unique design touches. The estate also boasts a private French Cottage with three stylish bedrooms, two Carrara marble bathrooms, a private outdoor hot spa, private kitchen and open plan living area with modern European decor - perfect for small groups travelling together.
