Montville
A small inland town on the Blackall Range with galleries, craft shops and cafés with views over the coast. Good for a half-day trip.
Montville sits on the ridge of the Blackall Range, inland from the Sunshine Coast, at about 400 metres above sea level. It is cooler than the coast. The main street is lined with galleries in an English village style, antique shops, handmade chocolate shops and cafés. Many restaurant terraces offer views over the coastline and Lake Baroon. Nearby, Kondalilla Falls and the Mary Cairncross Scenic Reserve in Maleny can easily be added, making it a classic one-day mountain town trip. It is about an hour's drive from Noosa.
