About

Narrows Escape Rainforest Retreat is a multi-award-winning property that took out the title of the 'most romantic hotel in the world' in TripAdvisor's Travelers Choice Awards 2021. Narrows Escape has eight private villas designed for couples, five with private plunge pools, nestled in pristine rainforest. It is the ultimate place to relax and unwind; curl up by the crackling log-fire or soak in a spa designed for two as you gaze out at the rainforest canopy above. Immerse yourself in nature but enjoy all of life’s little luxuries with beautiful furnishings. It’s only 5 minutes’ drive from the picturesque artisan village of Montville in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland. With breathtaking views of the Sunshine Coast, it is easy to spend the day wandering through galleries, boutiques, cafés and restaurants, in this mountain village. Then there are amazing national parks to hike, waterfalls, and secluded swimming holes. Located just one hour drive north of Brisbane, close to the beaches of Noosa and not far from K’Gari, it’s the perfect spot to explore the Sunshine Coast from.
