About this property

Winston Cottage - a breath of fresh air

Winston Cottage is designed to be something special, something different from the run of the mill. As travellers ourselves, we have combined all the amenities we feel make for the ultimate home away from home. These include beautiful pieces we have collected around the world, such as oriental rugs from Turkey and Iran, authentic pieces from the Miiddle East and Europe and genuine antique furniture.

As well as that however, we know how important it is to embrace the convenience of today's technology. So we have included Smart TVs including access to Netflix, USB charging stations, free WiFi, a Sonos sound system (download the app from your app store) so you can enjoy your own music.

While we love the Queensland climate, we do recognise that the heat can get to people at times, so we have had air conditioning installed in both your sitting room and bedroom. And you don't need to worry about using it, as we have embraced the latest in energy saving technology by using IceSolair which is a world leading system for reducing electricity input costs for air conditioning.

We love our coffee and tea, just as much as you do I suspect - we even visited Sri Lanka to have a decent cuppa a few years ago. To this end, we have included china tea cups and a teapot for you to have the perfect brew. Add to this, your very own pod machine and milk frother and you can practice your barista skills in the comfort of your own sitting room.

Enjoy a "welcome to Winston Cottage" sherry on us, served in a beautiful Tiffany decanter out of Italian crystal sherry glasses. Keep your wine chilled in your in room refrigerator or let your favourite red "breathe" in the Italian crystal decanter. Sit and enjoy the view over the beautiful Sunshine Coast hinterland - enjoy the birds, our resident border collie, Spike, will probably want to come and say hello. Awaken to the sound of our hens showing off that they have laid the eggs for this morning's breakfast.

Plan your day over a scrumptious breakfast that features things like home cured bacon, our own eggs, smoked salmon prepared right here at Winston Cottage. Sour dough bread, yoghurt, muesli and jams all made on site.

Explore one of Australia's great regions right from the heart of it, yet only minutes to all the Coast's favourite attractions.

Winston Cottage sits at the geographic heart of the Sunshine Coast. Just on hour from Brisbane, we are only minutes away from Montville, Maroochydore, Mooloolaba, Caloundra and Noosa.

Enjoy your Saturday morning breakfast in your suite, then head 15 minutes up the road to the Eumundi Markets. Drive up the hill to Montville, take in the views, have lunch and explore the bespoke shops. Drive back to your "home away from home" - it is only 10 minutes - freshen up, then head off to the burgeoning "eat street" that is Ocean Street, in Maroochydore.

If you enjoy a walk, then Winston Cottage is just perfect with some really pretty walking routes right at our door. Just ask Deb, she's the expert! Spike, our resident border collie loves a walk too, so if you feel like taking him just ask...

This was a very enjoyable experience from arrival to departure. We were greeted on arrival by the owner who gave us a good overview of the property and the surroundings. The house was situated on a hill with a nice view, the rooms were cosy and the restaurant, Rick's Garage, was perfect for us that are car enthusiasts. We only stayed one night and we wish we could have been there longer especially after having a fantastic breakfast in the morning before leaving. We will be back for a longer stay!

Sunshine Coast Country Retreat
We had a lovely stay in this B&B just a short drive into the hills above the Sunshine Coast beaches. Cosy and comfy cottage in a wonderful sub-tropical countryside. Host Chris made us very welcome and cooked a delicious breakfast each morning of our stay.
