Though there is only holiday, holiday and holiday in my life, it is still nice to get away from this "everyday holiday" sometimes. And that's what we did on 10.-11.11.2009. I had heard from my French girlfriend Annie about a lovely village called Montville. It is located inland, about 100km from Brisbane and quite close to Sunshine coast and Noosa. Maybe... 20-25 km from the coast.
The area is beaaauuuuutiful: only lower and higher hills everywhere, and if you reach some higher point, you can see the ocean far away. Lots of wineries, sweet coffee shops and shops which offer all kinds of local handicraft. Horses! And the atmosphere which is definitely more like French or German than Australian.
Annie had told me about nice cabins in trees and i definitely wanted to find those, and reached such website: http://www.secretsonthelake.com.au/ Have a look!
There are about 10 different cabins to choose from and ours was Possums :) And there are indeed heaps of possums everywhere. We were also warned to hide the food which has left over and not to leave anything on the deck when finished the dinner. Food or not any food left on the deck, but the "tants ja trall" (in English dance and.... trall??) on our roof went on and on over the night.
The place itself is amazing. Absolute rain forest feeling comes to you when walking some or 10 metres above the ground, on hand carved walkways through trees to your cabin. Each cabin is unique and designed by its name: Possums (with lots of figures of possums all over the cabin), or Waterlilies, or Dragon Fly. Ours was one of the luxury tree houses with a great view to lake Baroon and with a spa!
Since the place was so lovely, we stayed there all the evening and ordered a BBQ basket to our room.
The morning, after hearing lots of possums running over the roof all night :) , was great as a morning in nature's sounds can be. And of course, hot muffins and croissants delivered to us at 8am.
