Iron Bark
A two-storey cabin set deeper into the property, with the bedroom up and the living down.
Iron Bark sits along the lake path with the same two-storey plan as Rose Gum: king upstairs, sofa bed in the lounge, bathroom and kitchen on the ground floor.
A larger plan suits a family of up to four, but the design keeps the cabin couple-suited when the sofa bed is stowed. Upstairs windows frame the lake; the downstairs lounge opens onto a covered patio with a hooded BBQ and timber dining setting.
The kitchen handles longer stays comfortably: stovetop, microwave, full-size fridge, kettle and toaster. No oven – the BBQ outside does the work. Reverse-cycle air conditioning, ceiling fans, gas hot water and hardwood floors throughout.
The cabin up close.
A two-storey self-contained Montville cabin with upstairs sleeping, downstairs living, private BBQ patio, lake outlook.
King bed upstairs. Lake view. A sofa bed that hides until needed.
The morning
A continental hamper is stocked in the cabin for the length of your stay: cereals, bread, butter, jams, juice, milk. Each morning Michael delivers fresh croissants to the door. Coffee from the kitchen, taken on the patio.
The evening
Welcome chocolates wait on the kitchen bench. From April to September, firewood is supplied for the slow-combustion fireplace; light it from the basket beside the hearth and run the spa bath deep. The possums usually come down to the lawn around dusk.
Beyond the cabin
Kondalilla National Park starts on the property boundary; the trailhead to the falls is a short walk. Montville village is a five-minute drive for cafés, galleries and the historic clock shop. Maleny and Mapleton sit a little further along the ridge.
