THE PROPERTY:
'Havana House' is a 5 bedroom, 3 bathroom boutique retreat, set on half an acre of landscaped gardens, manicured lawns and terraced areas, beside a koala corridor and overlooking serene bushland featuring a permanent underground spring. It is conveniently located just 800m from Montville shops and restaurants, and next door to Spicers Clovelly wedding venue, and the award-winning Long Apron Restaurant.
FUNCTIONS:
Havana House is the perfect location for an intimate celebration for family and friends. We have hosted bridal showers, elopements, micro-weddings and family gatherings. If hosting a function, you'll need to provide your own additional tables, chairs and organise catering. As there is parking for 6 vehicles on-site, you'll also need to arrange guest transport. All gatherings must be respectful to our neighbours, with noise kept to a minimum after 10pm and functions concluding by 11pm. To book a function, you'll need to leave this page and go directly, to our separate 'Havana House Montville' site.
SORRY NO PETS: Our close proximity next to a dedicated koala corridor and sensitive nature area, means that pets are unfortunately unable to stay at the premises.
WHERE YOU'LL STAY: Havana House luxury retreat is designed to accomodate up to 12 guests, across four Queen bedrooms and a specially designed bunk room.
BEDROOM FEATURES: Each of the 4 x Queen bedrooms has a dedicated make-up desk, with specialised lighting and a full-length mirror, so individuals can get dressed, do hair and make-up in the privacy of their room, without having to jostle for space in the bathroom. Each room also has direct access to the outdoors.
BUNK ROOM: This cosy space is a great place for kids and 'kids-at-heart!' With 4 single beds, it doubles as a chill-out zone with a tv, books and games to keep younger guests entertained for hours, or where adult guests can relax.
BATHROOMS: There are 3 full beautifully appointed bathrooms with shampoo, conditioner, body wash and lotions provided for your convenience.
DINING and LIVING SPACES:
The hub of the home is the curved stone island bench in the large modern kitchen, that is fully-equipped with quality appliances and cooking facilities. Adjacent is a contemporary dining and conversation nook with integrated bench seating for casual gatherings.
The open plan living space incorporates a lounge area complete with stone encased fireplace and tv, as well as a dedicated dining area that is ideal to host a fancy dinner party.
OUTDOOR DINING: A large undercover outdoor verandah overlooking the terraced property is the perfect place for outdoor dining and gatherings. A patio setting and reclining chairs on the front verandah are ideal for a morning cuppa or afternoon wine.
AIR AND WATER QUALITY: We have installed a premium water filtration system throughout the house and across the property, utilising the very latest nano-technology for water purity; while the home's ducted heating and cooling system is highly-advanced to eliminate allergens, pollutants and odours, ensuring premium air quality within the home.
ENTERTAINMENT:
Fancy a game of boules, cricket or croquet on the manicured lawns? We have a host of outdoor games to create lasting memories with family and friends.
Or maybe you'd prefer to laze on a sunbed beanbag overlooking the property, under the umbrella with a good book?
The firepit is a great spot to warm up, toast marshmallows and share some tall stories with friends and family.
RESTAURANTS:
If you don't feel like cooking, award-winning restaurant "The Long Apron" is right next door, or head into nearby Montville for pizza, pub fare, or a coffee and cake. "Secrets on the Lake" is a fabulous hidden gem that's a short 5 min drive, and the nearby "Flame Hill Winery" is great for an afternoon tipple.
THINGS TO DO:
Havana House is the perfect base to explore the Sunshine Coast. Within 40 minutes you can be lying on the world-class beaches of Noosa, Mooloolaba or Caloundra; or check out the famous Eumundi markets, Sea Life Aquarium or Noosa Everglades. Just 20 minutes away are Australia Zoo (home of the Irwin’s), the Big Pineapple and the Big Kart Track. And its a mere 10 minute drive to Maleny, Bird World or Kondalilla Falls. Montville is an 800m walk or short drive to enjoy incredible restaurants and spectacular views.
HISTORY:
Havana House is steeped in rich hinterland history.
The home is built upon the croquet lawn of the first guesthouse "Elston" established in the Hinterland region in the late 1800s. It burnt down in the 1950's, now all that remains is a small outhouse, pillars of the front fence - and a pecan tree that was planted especially for guests to enjoy it's produce whilst they played croquet on the lawn.
Today, the 130 year old tree majestically towers over the rear lawn of 'Havana House', amass with pecans each Autumn, for our guests to enjoy.
