Such a lovely relaxing stay at spicers. It’s very quiet and feels very secluded in a little garden setting. We had two fantastic meals at the Long Apron and the staff were warm and welcoming. Only minor disappointment was that there was no balcony to our room, so nowhere to sit for our morning coffee. Other than that everything was delightful.

Fabulous hideaway
I stayed with my wife. The room was so lovely, comfortable and also very clean. The amenities are beautiful. We’re also happy with dinner at the long apron as well as breakfast. The lady at the reception was very friendly and made us feel comfortable. We enjoyed the beautiful lake lookout and garden as well. Would like to return again!

Spicers Clovelly located in a picturesque location of Montville with spectacular Mountain View’s and lush, fragrant gardens. The French provincial decor and rooms were that were beautifully appointed with thought into every detail provided livery and comfort. The staff were amazing, friendly and accommodating, it felt like home away from home, we didn’t want to leave!

Relaxation
Clovelly was a lovely escape from the world for a couple of nights. Our room, a spa suite was spacious and comfortable with a beautiful view. Facilities in the room are what you would expect at this level. The hotel has lovely spaces around for quiet contemplation, or a feisty game or two, it's up to you. We walked down to the deck overlooking the lake, a tranquil place but reached via a steep pathway best down in trainers or walking shoes. The food at the Long Apron was delicious, the only negative comment would be that the menu is so limited that you couldnt really eat there night after night. The wait staff were friendly, knowledgable and made the evening feel a little bit special, matching the food in their exceptionality. Breakfast was lovely, with a great selection served overlooking the garden. Tuesday's staff were wonderful, weds seemed a little preoccupied, but the kitchen staff stepped up to deliver food and provide a happy smile and friendly words. In all, a beautiful place for a few days away from the pressure of the world, we used it to access walking tracks in the Great Walk through the Sunshine Coast hinterland, and the contrast between pampering and raw rainforest was rejuvenating.

The Perfect Couples Getaway
The Easter weekend away for my wife's birthday and it was perfect. The room was lovely and comfortable. The grounds are peaceful and relaxing. The staff are all very helpful and the service was some of the best that i have experienced and could not be faulted. The restaurant the Long Apron was absolutely wonderful from the drinks at the bar to the table service and then the food it was fantastic.

nice hotel for one night stay
We enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere of the hotel, check in direct to the room, no filling out forms. showing credit cards etc.. Lovely gardens and pool although getting in and out of the pool is a bit difficult, there should be steps. Nice walk in the forest, excellent dinner, very different from the standard fare and a full explanation by the waitress. Excellent service. The room could do with an extra chair. Great breakfast on the terrace and a easy check out, so we had a very nice wedding anniversary.

Not as good as other Spicers properties/ experiences.. We found the food service very slow at breakfast and the food was nothing special. None of either wine we ordered was available at dinner. Beautiful grounds. Room was cute, bed was not very comfortable. Overall very expensive for what it is.

Montville paradise
The main restaurant has atmosphere at $125, the outside restaurant surrounded by plastic at night is cold and lacks any feeling. The waitress had to supply a torch to read the menu. She eventually moved us ito the bar table are awhich was acceptable, the al la carte meal was good but, nothing to writ ehome about

Complete luxury and wonderful surrounds.
This hotel has a lovely Hampton's Inspired theme which blends nicely with the hinterland landscape and the coastal environment not to far away. The food is superb and you would not enjoy the full experience unless you have the tasting menu at the Long Apron restaurant on site. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. A special mention to the General Manager Stephen and to our friendly waiter Zoe. We thoroughly enjoyed out stay whilst celebrating our wedding anniversary and would highly recommend it to others thinking about it for any future romantic getaways. A big thumbs up!!

Delightful small hotel
Clovelly Estate is a small hotel so the experience is a delightfully relaxed and, well, intimate one. Excellent staff, great food, spacious rooms. Minor quibbles- side light to bed very low light, needs a pillow menu (they may provide it, should have asked). Overall though I would like to stay a lot longer.

Fantastic getaway
Everything about this place was relaxing. on arrival we were greeted very pleasantly, check in was a smooth process. We were shown around where the lounge, kitchen and pool etc is. All the staff were very friendly and always happy to help. Rooms had a wonderful sheike design and comfortable for sure. Great scenery and we went on a beautiful short walk for sunset. The library was also a lovely place to relax. We made use of the bikes to go to Montville town centre - such a cute little town with quirky shops. Finally the breakfast was fabulous with the great views in the morning. Overall a fantastic stay!

Serenity, peaceful place to stay
Wanted a quiet relaxed few days away with my husband, we are both tired & stressed in our 50's. It was a perfect choice, quiet, cool, perfect room, decorated as I would my own, lots of comfy seats around, shady verandas, window seat, books everywhere to pick up and enjoy. The pool area was attractive and away from the main house. Breakfast was quiet and relaxed, lovely waitress who just brought our food with no trouble, no buffet to work out how the coffee works etc. the chef at the restaurant surpassed themselves with many different tastes and catering to my fussy gut. Food was excellent, presentation and taste. Reception staff very well trained, not a problem that we forgot our shirt and forgot to handover the room key at the end, fixed it all up a few days later.
