The Blak Shak

Reconnect with nature at this unforgettable escape.

Nestled in the treetops in the heart of the Sunshine Coast hinterland, the Blak Shak is built on 2½ acres of old pineapple and banana farm land. This luxury treehouse is only minutes from the popular town of Montville, which boasts quaint shops, cafes and sweeping views down to the coast. Enjoy a relaxing stay in the Sunshine Coast hinterland or explore the many beaches and waterfalls less than a half hour drive away.

Welcome to the Blak Shak!

The Blak Shak is the perfect getaway for couples or solo travellers. Fully self-contained, this brand-new, modern space on Gubbi Gubbi land offers a place to escape, surrounded by nature.

As you walk in the front door, you’ll be greeted with incredible views of the forest through the giant picture window. Listen to the beautiful birdsongs throughout the day or the chirp of the frogs at night. Firewood is provided so you can warm up in front of the fire, either inside or out by the firepit. There is also a reverse-cycle air conditioner for quick heating or cooling.

The Blak Shak has one bedroom, with luxurious linens on a queen bed and barn doors which separate the room from the rest of the cabin for intimacy. Wake up and throw the bedroom’s sliding doors open to take in the beauty of the hinterland. Gaze out to the treetops and enjoy a cuppa on your private deck overlooking the forest or fire up the Weber BBQ during your stay.

Breathe in the smell of the forest as you soak in the tub. The bathroom boasts a freestanding bath as well as a shower. Enjoy the beautiful aroma of the Aesop bath products, snuggle up in the provided bathrobes and feel free to use the Dyson Supersonic hair dryer during your stay. Enhance your experience with complimentary bath salts or immerse yourself in the simplicity of pure rain water.

Pull up a stool and hang out around the kitchen bench. As well as the usual kettle, toaster, coffee press and tea pot, the kitchen has a stow-away induction cooktop, integrated dishwasher and a bar fridge with ice. There is also a microwave / grill oven to warm up snacks or meals during your stay. (*Please note this is only a grill oven, not a traditional oven.) Help yourself to the Blak Shak's salad garden with a variety of lettuces and herbs to add to your meal. Under shelf lighting helps illuminate your workspace while in the kitchen.

There’s plenty to do if you decide to stay put in the Blak Shak, with books to browse, games to play or art supplies to create a masterpiece! Stretch into your favourite yoga poses and meditate on the provided yoga mats or head out and explore our beautiful area! Enjoy a day of shopping in nearby hinterland boutiques and markets or immerse yourself in nature at one of the many national parks, magical waterfalls and scenic trails. We’re sure you’ll enjoy the incredible Sunshine Coast while you’re here.

We strive to make the Blak Shak as ecologically friendly as possible. Cleaning and bathroom products are mindfully chosen to be environmentally friendly. We avoid single-use items wherever possible. Rain water is our sole water source (carbon filtered and UV treated) and we generate enough power through solar to power the treehouse most days. Sewage is processed onsite through a septic waste treatment system. We ask guests to please be mindful of our dedication to reducing environmental impact while staying in the Blak Shak. x

The Blak Shak is on acreage shared with our main home. This luxury treehouse is orientated to face away from the house and overlooks green surrounds to ensure your privacy is maintained.

You will have private access to the outdoor firepit during your stay. We invite you to explore our back yard and gardens during your stay. You will share our acreage with us, but this space was designed to minimise contact with us in the main house on the property.

Enter the driveway from the main road and enjoy private parking for two cars. A short walk along the gravel walkway will bring you to the front deck of the Blak Shak. As our treehouse is tucked into the hillside on this sloping block, there are several stairs from the footpath to the main property entrance.

The Blak Shak has keyless entry and you will be given a code to use during your stay.

We live in the main house on the property and are happy to interact as much or as little as you like!

Hunchy is located just minutes from both Montville and Palmwoods town centres. It is perfectly situated for beach and bush. Kondallila National Park is a just under 10 minutes away and the beaches of Maroochydore or Mooloolaba are approx 25 minutes drive (traffic depending).

Getting around

The Blak Shak is accessed by car as there is limited public transport in our semi-rural area.

While taxis or Ubers can be obtained to / from our property, the Blak Shak is located in a semi-rural area, thus there is no access to public transport. It is advisable to have a car to get around the area.

During your stay:

Where possible we will meet you upon arrival but then we leave you to enjoy your stay on your own and love to give you full privacy. We are available via text or phone and as we reside in the main house, we are here if you need anything.
