Montpellier Boutique Resort

A complete lack of property management. We stayed for 27 days but only managed to have the apartment serviced twice - and then only after we visited the office and emailed the managers. The apartment itself was spacious and well placed for morning sun; unfortunately it was not well cleaned prior to our arrival and we had to clean all kitchen surfaces and drawers after moving in. Also, the lounge and dinning furniture that requires cleaning too. The cutlery drawers were broken and had hairs in one of them. The surfaces of the lounge furniture all required cleaning. Is was difficult to discuss with the office as this was often unattended and text messages were not replied to. We stayed in apartment 13 which requires a lot of refurbishment to bring it up to a good standard. Apart from that, the apartment is located in a very good location. 50m from the Noosa River and restaurants along the riverside.

This was a return visit for us and we can highly recommend the resort. The apartments are very large and spacious and well fitted out. Positioning is perfect and only a minutes walk to the river and cafes. Bedding including a very comfortable king in the master is a plus. A notable mention is the pool which is a great size, heated and was quiet during our stay. The management were extremely friendly and check in was a breeze and they were kind enough to allow a late check out on the Monday of our departure. If there is a slight negative, it is the design of the main bedroom which has louvred doors to the main living area so if you're staying with others it can be hard to block any noise. Definitely a great holiday option and very competitively priced.

Recently completed a three week stay and would suggest that a 4.5 star rating is particularly generous ! Perhaps 3.5 stars would be more appropriate. I would point out to any visitors looking to stay at this venue in the winter months … stay well clear of the units on the Gympie Terrace side. Given there is another property next door and immediately adjacent to where our unit was situated, this of course meant that it blocked out the sun at all times !! and made for a very chilly unit of an evening. Other family members stayed on the other side of the property and were drenched with glorious sun all day. What added to the chill factor in my bedroom were the plantation shutters ( with no window in front ) which of course increased the chill factor overnight. The other factor to consider is the noise. Other guests above our unit were at times, late at night forgetting that there were other guests in the units below. We were surprised with the noise throughout out the complex and clearly proper quality soundproofing was not a consideration at time of construction. Perhaps we have been spoilt as in many previous trips we have stayed in stand alone apartments on Gympie Terrace ….. Montpellier is a family destination with a beautiful pool but not a spot for a quite relaxing holiday.
