Guest Reviews
- Anthony (10/5): Exceptional - Great location, beautiful views, spotlessly clean, great amenities
- Anonymous (10/5): fantastic❤️ - the views and location were amazing❤️
- Fiona (10/5): Exceptional -
- Mei (10/5): Exceptional -
- Sharryn (9/5): A beautiful relaxing stay. - The views are exceptional. The beds were comfortable with beautiful quality linen. We appreciated the complimentary bottle of wine, Brie, crackers and chocolate. Really lovely place to stay. Nothing
- Julianne (10/5): Top Choice in Montville - What a great little spot. Right on the main road into Montville but no noise as you are tucked in down the hill
Magic view, lots of space, modern kitchen and furniture. It all felt very inviting. Nothing!
- Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional -
- Stewart (9/5): Not for everyone, but ideal for many! - Yes, it's got great views, but many properties in the area have such views. They are west-looking views, so you don't get sunrise views or morning sunshine (and the setting sun was hard to see in April). It was still nice to sit on the balcony, especially in the two-seater swing chair.
The apartment was cosy, clean, and comfortable, as described in other reviews. And, yes, Viki's personal touches were appreciated (the wine, the coffee etc.)
It's about a 10-minute walk into Montville, which is convenient, although you have to walk along the side of the road for some of the time and it's "up hill and down dale". In theory, I guess, it's helpful to have the owner on site if there are questions or concerns.
But the living arrangements might not be to everybody's liking. Viki lives "upstairs" (which is actually the entry level; you enter into her entrance hallway and then go "down stairs" to the apartment). Some people might be uncomfortable that the owner is residing just on top. She can be heard occasionally, especially if she's on her balcony at the same time as the guests are on their balcony (just below).
As described in other reviews, yes, the second bedroom gets some road noise. Yes, the guest parking arrangements are not ideal (although there are designated "parking bays", they are right next to the road, so security may be an issue if this is a concern for you.) Yes, there is a bit of "lugging one's belongings" down the stairs and then up when you leave.

- Sharon (8/5): Very good -
- Kylie (10/5): It's all about the views and feeling at home on holidays - The views and location are perfect! Swing was such a relaxing touch it felt like a home away from home as Viki had thought of all the little things such as wine cheese and crackers as well as choc and coffee. Furnishings were just as beautiful as the views! Nothing everything was perfect
- Eva (10/5): Magnificent views in both sunny and rainy weather, and lovely comfortable stay. -
- Bryan (10/5): Exceptional - The cleanliness. The style. The artwork. The deck. The complimentary pack. THE VIEW. Oh my gosh, the view. The fact we could hear the property owner walking above us really disrupted the peace.
And the fact that at any given time, the property owner could enter our accommodation regardless if we were there or not.
- J (9/5): Superb - The view.
- Leila (8/5): Excellent short stay - Clean and well appointed. Comfortable beds, great kitchen and appliances. Wonderful view

Kitchen fully equipped, fans, aircon and massive TV. Luxury in a gorgeous setting and loved the swing and reading nook. Host very easy to deal with and lots of information. This would be the best fitted out place we have been in. Will for sure book again. Nil

- Russell (10/5): We loved it - The view Nothing
- Brigit (10/5): It really is all about the views - and a comfortable stay! - The location is perfect. close to Montville town, but far enough away to be out of the tourist bustle. The views are amazing and the host has thought of everything. There are easy instructions exactly where you need them, and lovely little touches like wine and cheese on arrival, pod coffee machine and coffee plunger. There are various places to sit and relax, in the lounge, kitchen bench, the deck outside, a day bed nook and dining table. ALL with beautiful views of the valley out to the coast. The gardens were beautiful with lovely flowering native plants and we heard whip birds!! nothing! Perhaps a longer stay, it was very relaxing with easy distance to the restaurants, massages and bush walks we enjoyed.
- Carolyn (10/5): Definitely all about the views! - THE VIEWS were definitely a highlight. A swing Ben h seat overlooking those views was very relaxing. The whole apartment was magnificent. Very comfortable, well equipped, full kitchen with microwave, stove top and little bench top grill, coffee machine with pods, basic pantry items, a welcome pack including wine, cheese, crackers, chocolate, decent sized local dairy milk…
There’s an aircon and heaters, as well as a washing machine and dryer. Quick drive into Montville town for coffee, restaurants for all meals if preferred .Two parking spaces provided. Very quiet and tranquil.
- Esther (9/5): We are going to book again…hopefully for same time next year! - This property was actually perfect! Incredibly clean, beautiful views, comfortable (luxurious even)
Our host had added so many little extras and we realised that we could have arrived with only our clothes and toiletries and still had all we need!
Absolutely beautiful; best place we have stayed-quiet and peaceful too.
Thank you Viki for sharing this wonderful spot in paradise! Can’t think of a single thing!
- Otto (9/5): Superb - I enjoyed the level of luxury the property offered, the little treats left for the guest and the fabulous views. Tge mosquitoes on the deck at dusk unfortunately
- Andrew (9/5): Superb -
- Ann (10/5): Exceptional - Very clean and thoughtfully prepared, loved the little gifts, thankyou. Beautiful view We found the lounges very hard to sit on, but we worked around it.
- Peter (9/5): Superb -
- Andrew (10/5): Exceeded expectations - Lovely large living area with massive TV, , dining area with fully equipped kitchen. Magnificent views and great of an evening and in morning.

- Cas (10/5): A perfect couple of nights with all that we needed and more. - Wonderful views, clean, fully equipped, appreciated the wine, cheese, chocolate provided, loved the window bed in lounge, huge tv, very comfortable beds, nice deck with swing seat and outdoor setting and great location with good parking.
- Adrienne (8/5): Very good - The amazing view!
- Blowers (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was great about the house. The view is amazing, house was spotless, and kitchen well appointed (good utensils and appliances, unlike a lot of house accommodations).
- Robert (10/5): Exceptional - Views were spectacular, very clean, comfortable and welcoming. We would definitely stay here again :)

- Storme (8/5): Very good -
- Beti (8/5): Excellent stay - We liked everything about this little gem among the trees and the amazing views. The house is in a perfect location for all the adventures we wanted to explore. The cafes and restaurants are very close and there is a little track which will take you into town. This magical house had everything in it. We didn’t miss anything and it felt like home. It is very comfortable and cosy. On arrival the host had a complimentary platter with beautiful chocolate, wine, cheese and crackers.All our expectations were met. We highly recommend this amazing place for your next holiday.
Thank you Viki
Avita and family
- Cameron (10/5): Great location. Short walk to the street. Lovely B n B - Loved the view and everything about the house in general. Warm and cosy inside. Comfy bed. Nice touch with the wine, chocolate, cheese and crackers. Vicki was a lovely host
- Niamh (9/5): Would absolutely stay again. Clean, comfortable, everything you need and very thoughtful welcome gifts… thank you Viki - The location was beautiful.. the place lives up to its name… fantastic views
- Karl (10/5): It really is “All about the views” - It was fantastic. Vikki the owner must be proud of living here. What a view! The whole house and facilities were immaculate. There was even a welcome pack of a bottle of wine, cheese, crackers and a bar of chocolate.
The views take your breath away. I’m looking forward to our next stay. Everything was perfect.
- David (10/5): Beautiful, peaceful location with exceptional views - The location, views and accommodation were all superb. Every requirement was catered for from bathroom and kitchen needs through to an arrival hamper. The natural surroundings were very quiet and peaceful. Multiple steaming stations were available. The free WiFi worked well. We had a wonderful relaxing holiday here and would love to come back some time.
- Christina (9/5): If you're looking for a bit of peace, quiet & stunning scenery, I would definitely recommend staying - The decor and furnishings etc were very nice with a lovely kitchen. We loved the deck overlooking the trees. Beds were really comfortable. It was also nice and quiet. Viki also supplied us with tea, coffee, milk, cheese, biscuits, chocolate, wine and shower supplies. What more could you ask for.
- Stringer (10/5): We had a great time and would love to stay again sometime. - It was a lovely place to stay in a well-equipped two-bedroom unit. The view was spectacular and everything we needed was on hand. I can't think of anything that could have been improved upon. Even the weather was good. I would recommend it to others.
- Michael (9/5): Amazing Views. - Location was great for exploring the surrounding countryside. Views were breathtaking. Facilities were clean and comfortable. Access was clearly communicated on the day of arrival. Parking was a little difficult but manageable in a larger SUV type vehicle.
- Joseph (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing Views. Attention to detail in how the place is designed.
The pictures don't do it justice.
- Darryn (8/5): Gorgeous views, Great interior, Convenient Location, Noisy - Beautifully furnished, very well equipped, close to centre of Montville, fabulous views, prompt and considerate communication by Host. Really appreciated the generous gift of wine, chocolate, crackers and soft cheese! Clearly hearing every footstep, bang and bash above us, as well as the traffic sounds from the roads above and below the property. We were disappointed that the property was described as sound-proofed and then experienced the noise described above.
One of the bedrooms (closest to the bathroom) smelled very musty.
- Danielle (10/5): Exceptional - Thoughtful touches, well stocked, beautiful property!
- Kate (10/5): A beautiful, peaceful, relaxing space with everything we needed and more. - It was peaceful and quiet and the views were fabulous. Plenty of space with everything we needed. Clean and tidy and comfortable. Fantastic location, close to everything.
- Alice (10/5): Beautiful private accomodation. Viki’s added touches and kindness made the trip that more enjoyable. Would highly recomm - Beautiful property, private area and lovely host. Nothing
- Alexander (10/5): Special - N/a Nothing
- Kathy (8/5): Very good - Everything was clean and immaculately presented Steep driveway and stairs was unsuitable for anyone with a disability
- Martin (10/5): Great mountain retreat in modern, clean accomodation with stunning views. - This property was an absolute delight to stay in. The host has everything laid out and good quality applicances and facilities. Amazing large TV. Loved the day bed to look at the window while chilling out. Proximity to both the Town of Montville and the bar at the Spicers mean these can be reached with an easy walk. Welcome pack of essentials, snacks and a drink was a great touch. Would recommend to anyone. Oh, and the views. Was not able to fault anything during our stay.
- Robert (10/5): Exceptional - The host was great - communicative and welcoming. Every amenity was thought of eg the spare toothbrushes in the medicine cabinet, the sugar in the cupboard, the coffee machine with included pods, and the 75 inch tv in the main room - to list only a few! The view was unbeatable and the balcony was great. We're not usually one to revisit a place but will definitely consider it next time we're in Montville!
- Glenn (10/5): Spectacular view, close to the centre of Montville, with wonderful amenities. - The name says it all, it truly is all about the views, they are amazing. The location is the drawcard but the amenities and the cleanliness were wonderful. If you are looking for a stay that has an exceptional view over the mountains and out to the coast, close to the main shops of Montville, do not look past this. There was actually nothing that we didn't like. If we had to be super fussy there wasn't a pool, but we knew that going in and it is only a short 35 min drive to the coast anyway.
- Quynh (10/5): Exceptional -
- Di (9/5): We had a very relaxing time away. - The views were amazing. It was easy to find and in a good location. The accommodation was spotless and quite comfortable. It suited our purposes perfectly.
- Kate (10/5): I can only write perfect, with thanks. - Location, location, location. What a spot! Definitely will be back. Loved the entire place, cannot fault it or the host. Also really appreciated the little bonuses like wine, cheese and crackers. We were there for a sad time and Viki was incredibly kind. She knows in what way. Nothing
- Teagan (10/5): The perfect getaway to feel recharged - The view - seriously, it was so serene and perfect. The pictures don’t do it justice. Add to that the day bed with the window, the best kitchen and proximity to everything? We are already planning to come back! Nothing
- Debbie (10/5): We will stay again. Incredible views, peaceful. Perfect spot to stay in Montville - Amazing views and really comfortable
- Claus (9/5): Superb -
- John (9/5): Superb -
- Beverley (10/5): Exceptional - A beautiful comfortable home. Everything felt luxurious. HUGE tv, very comfy beds and of course, a magnificent view. Nothing
- Chloe (10/5): Exceptional - It was amazing! Really is all about the views. Super stunning and the actual house felt clean and modern. Viki was super helpful and accomodating. We would definitely stay here again.
- Jocelyn (10/5): Wonderful stay! - Loved Everything! Absolutely beautiful, peaceful stay! Comfortable bed, clean well equipped kitchen. Stunning view! I loved everything!
- Judy (10/5): We had a great time! -
- Jennifer (10/5): We will be coming back. We just can’t move on to any other place having stayed in the beautiful unit. - This was our second stay this year at ‘It’s All About the Views’. We enjoyed our girl’s weekend so much in this lovely place that we just had to do it again! The unit is incredibly thoughtfully equipped and has a great layout. The views are unbeatable. The beds are very comfortable. No arguments over who gets which bedroom because both have their own individual outlook. One has views to the coastline and the other overlooks a beautiful rainforest garden. We cooked ourselves one night and went out to Maleny Pub the next. When we come back, we will bring more provisions and cook for ourselves both night. What could be nicer than eating on a balcony watching the lights from the Sunshine Coast flicker in the distance? A special mention needs to be made of the stunning indigenous artwork in the lounge area. Nothing
- Christopher (10/5): Exceptional - The view from the balcony was beautiful. The house was wonderful.
- Carla (9/5): Superb - Beautiful views, well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, daybed and lounge. N/a
- Carol (10/5): Stunning views from a spacious, modern property. Highly recommended. - Everything! The title of the property says it all. Absolutely stunning views from morning until night. Watching the sunrise, hearing and seeing the beautiful birds was an absolute delight. The property was very spacious, good shower and comfortable bed. Kitchen was very well equipped and a nice welcome pack was provided. Vicki made sure we were comfortable without intruding. Also very convenient for lots of places to visit. Whole area was beautiful. Sorry to say but didn’t find the seating very comfortable. Wasn’t supportive and kept sliding off the sofa! Certainly wouldn’t put us off ever returning there again as everything else was wonderful, including a lovely day bed with great views too.
- Atul (9/5): Lovely two day stay. Will definitely return for longer stay. - Everything… views, amenities, cleanliness, TV Nothing really. EV charging facility would make it perfect.
- Lyon (10/5): Exceptional -
- Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional -
- Simon (10/5): Exceptional -
- Fantasmagoric (10/5): Exceptional - Accommodation was high end throughout. Peaceful location with incredible views.
- Leonie (10/5): Exceptional -
- Sophie (10/5): Exceptional -
- Heather (10/5): I had a lovely time with my 3 most favourite ladies, 2 daughters and daughter in law - Stunning location and views! The home was immaculately furnished and exceptionally clean ... best I've ever been in.
Everything was thought out for comfort and relaxation. Nothing!!
- Julie (9/5): Stunning views and very comfortable - The views are stunning. The kitchen is very well stocked if you want to prepare meals and many extras are provided. This is a very comfortable, clean and spacious unit. Would highly recommend.
- Timothy (10/5): Exceptional - Absolutely loved the view and the amazing downstairs area! We will definitely be booking again N/A
- Amanda (9/5): Great relaxing place to stay and the views were exceptional! - Loved the views! Everything very comfortable. Very good blockout curtains enabling a great sleep. Loved the extra things eg crackers, chocolate and wine. Loved the day bed also with great views. Only one bedroom had bedside lamps. Would be great to have in both bedrooms.
- Susan (9/5): Relaxing, peaceful with sweeping views. - Excellent location. Very clean and comfortable with a wonderful view, night and day. The wine, cheese and crackers plus the chocolate were most appreciated. No complaints.
- Guig (10/5): Beautiful quality stay in a relaxing environment - Very clean and had everything you needed for a complete stay Nothing
- Genevieve (10/5): Exceptional - The view was so nice, the facilities were great and it was very clean. There wasn't a lot of stuff in Montville and some of the roads (like Hunchy Rd) were a bit scary to drive on at night. There was nothing I didn't like about the property but this review wants me to put something here...
- Mark (9/5): Superb -
- Robert (10/5): Exceptional -
- Peter (10/5): Exceptional -
- Kevin (9/5): A very enjoyable 3 night stay in the hinterland of the Sunshine Coast. - Modern, well furnished & decorated apartment, located on the edge of the escarpment with panoramic views to the coast. Close enough to Montville to make it a pleasant, easy walk. Good quality food & wine extras, which were well appreciated. Some occasional noise from footsteps on the timber floors in the main house above. No interaction with the on-site owner as to personal recommendations on things to do/places to eat etc, although there was a folder with plenty of local information in one of the kitchen drawers.
- Amy (9/5): Breathtaking views! - The view is exceptional- really very stunning. The place was very clean, and comfortable. It was a nice thought leaving milk, cheese, crackers, wine and chocolate. The TV was so large, and the beds were great. It was lovely seeing some kookaburras and other birds around! The host, Viki, was not friendly or warm in person. It made us feel a little awkward. I thought it odd that she is an Air BnB host. Her email communications were polite however.
It was also odd how there isn’t a door or locked door between her property upstairs and the area downstairs.
- Jenni (10/5): A wonderful weekend at Montvilee, highly recommend this accommodation. - This was a fantastic place to stay near Montville, one of the best I have stayed in up there (and we have travelled to the area often). The views were awesome, the beds comfortable, the bathroom lovely. However I think the best thing was all the small touches that made our stay just that bit nicer, from the wine and chocolate in the kitchen to the torches in the bedside drawers, lovely toiletries in the bathroom, wraps and foil int he pantry etc etc. Everything spotlessly clean. HUGE TV with all the streaming services. What a wonderful weekend, we hope to visit again!! Honestly I have no complaints, except perhaps for the lack of a full oven - the toaster oven was not sufficient to cook a family meal, but we made do. You just need to be aware and plan for that.
