The Boutique Events House is a function room on the Montville Country Cabins property, set within the same 16 acres as the cabins. Capacity 45 seated. Used for workshops, retreats, wedding receptions and private functions, with the cabins available next door for overnight stays.
## What it suits
- **Workshops and retreats.** Day-time configurations with tables, breakouts, room for movement.
- **Receptions and dinners.** A single seated table for up to 45, with the room adapting through the day.
- **Wedding receptions.** The reception venue for on-property weddings; see [Weddings, elopements and micro-weddings](/journal/weddings-elopements-micro-weddings/index.md).
- **Small conferences and offsites.** Quiet location away from the city, single space, parking on site.
- **Creative retreats.** Painters, writers, photographers. The setting suits formats where participants want to disconnect from the city and focus.
The room is suited to formats with a single group of up to 45; it doesn't split between concurrent meetings.
## The setting
The Events House sits within the 16-acre property at the top of the Blackall Range. Five minutes from Montville Village, an hour and a quarter from Brisbane, around 40 minutes from Sunshine Coast Airport. The location reads as remote but is a normal drive from any of the coast suburbs.
Wi-Fi is available in the meeting room, the one place on the property where it works reliably; the cabins are deliberately Wi-Fi-free. That's useful for the format. The day's connectivity stays in the meeting room, not the cabins guests sleep in.
## Day-vs-evening configurations
The room reconfigures through the day for workshop-style use during daylight hours and seated-event use in the evening. Setup and turnover between formats are handled by Karen and Michael.
For specifics (table arrangements, AV, sound, screen, lectern, kitchen access, catering options), contact reception. The list changes with availability and what each booking needs.
## Combined with cabin accommodation
The most common booking pattern combines the Events House for the daytime or evening session with cabin accommodation for the participants. Ten cabins on the property:
- Five couples cottages (Cuddle Pie, Snuggle Pot, Harmony, Peace, Seclusion) and a studio (Silky Oak)
- Three two-storey family cabins (Rose Gum, Iron Bark, Hoop Pine)
Block bookings for the whole property are possible. Wedding groups, corporate offsites and writers' or artists' retreats have all booked the full set. The cabins act as accommodation for participants; the Events House holds the daily session; the property's walking paths and lake serve as the breakout space when sessions stop for lunch.
## How to book
Phone Karen and Michael on [07 5442 9484](tel:+61754429484), or use the contact form. Mention the type of event, expected guest count and date range. The hosts will come back with availability, setup options and a quote.
For workshop and retreat bookings, allow a few weeks' lead time; the cabin-block element of the booking takes longer to confirm than the room itself.
