Hunchy Hideaway

Very disappointed. Have stayed in this cottage (Fig Tree) on previous occasions. However this time things were not the same. The fireplace had not been set up with timber. In fact there was no timber in the cottage at all. Had to cart it from the timber supply near the Office. There was no proper kindling (e.g. pine strips). Was told just to pick up debris from outside. The steps leading onto the front porch have been removed making approx 2/3 of the porch unusable. The end railing was collapsing. There was only 1 candle holder in the entire cottage and that had a used candle in it. Previously there were approx 8 candles scattered around as one would expect in a romantic cottage. There were 3 used coffee pods in the coffee machine - obviously had not been cleaned out. Cobwebs on the ceiling above the bed (actually hanging down). The exhaust fan in the toilet was completely covered in dust. Website says that upon arrival there would be home-made scones for afternoon tea, chocolates and roses. There were 4 chocolates on the bed, no roses or any other type of flowers and upon check-in-in was told that they no longer provide the scones however there was cake instead. This consisted of 3 very small what looked like shop bought slices. See attached photos of cottage.

Wow.... what a amazing experience staying in the rainforest in gumnut cottage. It was so peaceful and relaxing to just unwind listening to the birds and waterfall close by. The owners were very accommodating, well present, very clean cabin. It was a wonderful getaway for both myself and partner to unwind. Would highly recommend for couples for a sneaky get away. So close and convent to montville with a 5min drive.

We stayed here a few years ago and decided to revisit. The location is great, set into the rainforest, not too close to others, and overall we had a relaxing stay. However, the cabin really needs a clean. There was mould on some of the glasses, mugs and plates, as well as one of the cushions and a little in the bathroom. Thick layers of cobwebs around windows and air conditioner appear to have been sitting for some weeks. Dirt came out of the jets in the spa bath when used. A lot of dead bugs and dust around the plates. Maintenance is needed in the bathroom, with a leaking sink pedestal and one shower head loose so can only either sit up against the wall or facing the floor.

Cottage full of character looking out into Queensland rainforest. Such a lovely setting. Fairy lights along the pathways to light the way at night, bird song through the day and insects chirruping as dusk falls. Cottage well appointed with everyone we could want, plus a few treats of chocolate and baked goods. Little touches that elevated the experience. Hosts friendly and welcoming but unobtrusive. Thank you Lana and Jack, we will be back.

Private and secluded cabin 5 mins from Montville - perfect for a romantic getaway!

Loved the quietness and the location. Clean, comfortable and cosy. Great location.

A delightful hideaway. Amazingly peaceful. We had a wonderful time and would love to come back.

Beautiful part of the world. Lovely accomodation amongst the rainforest. Secluded and quiet. Jack and Lana are very welcoming hosts. Only 5 mins drive from town.

What a wonderful weekend away for our anniversary, the seclusion where this property is, the warm welcome from Jack as we arrived to check in, to the secluded path to get to our Gumnut cabin was just magnificent. Peace and quiet was the first thing we noticed, lovely food stocked up in the fridge, coffee machine, gentle music playing. What a beautiful cottage, we stayed 2nights and had a relaxing fantastic time away from the world. The couples massage by Marnie and Amanda recommended by Jack was truly amazing, in the comfort of our cottage too. All in all, if peace and quiet, rest and relaxation are on the menu for you, give Jack a call and leave the rest to him. Thank you Jack and Lana, we had a fantastic weekend. Cheers Rick and Melissa.
