Spicers Clovelly Estate

On our way back to Brisbane from a two week holiday in the Whitsunday region, we wanted to finish off our holiday in style.Spicers Clovelly Estate in Montville was the perfect choice for us and we found it very relaxing.Loved the style of the hotel, service was exceptional and the room was really nice, they made us feel special while we were there.Breakfast was fantastic out on the veranda each morning, we really enjoyed our stay there and what a beautiful part of Queensland Montville is.Just work on the pool, didn't look to inviting, bit of love and attention required :)

We recently had our wedding at Spicers Clovelly Estate and it was absolutely incredible. They deserve 10 stars out of 5.From the very beginning the Spicers team was professional yet warm. They took care of everything and nothing was too much trouble, which allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our celebrations.We received genuine care from every staff member we interacted with. Our guests even made mention of how amazing the Spicers team was.I cannot recommend Spicers Clovelly Estate more highly. We’ve always loved staying here, but they truly went above and beyond for our wedding. Not to mention - the food was exceptional.Thank you for the best few days of our lives!

Quite simply, perfection.From the moment we stepped foot on the property we knew this was going to something special. We only live 10 minutes from Spicers Clovelly but we couldn’t think of a better place to celebrate our 21st wedding anniversary. Rachael greeted with us with sincerity and two glasses of bubbles in the garden. She suggested we make our way to the deck overlooking baroon pocket dam to watch the sunset. Alex showed us to chairs by the fire pit (blankets for our knees on the back of the seats) and poured us each a generous glass of wine. He very kindly chauffeured us back to our room where we had a chance to relax and freshen up before dinner. Hannah greeted us at the restaurant door and while we waited for our table she made (and we enjoyed) a couple of perfectly hand crafted cocktails in the sofa. At 7pm Alana told us our table was ready. She look after us for the rest of the night. She was professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. She made us feel very comfortable and seemed to know what we wanted before we realised it. Then the food. Oh. My. God. The food. Five star all the way. Well balanced, thoughtful and uncomplicated flavour combinations.We’ve dined a few Hatted and Michelin Star restaurants over the years and very often the hype outshines the food. I’ve lost count of the amount of disappointing dinners we’ve had where the chefs have used too many ingredients in a dish and the food looks beautiful but ends up being over complicated and nothing shines through. Expensive and gravely disappointing. It all just ends up tasting flat and grey.This is certainly NOT the case at Spicers Clovelly. From beginning to end. Exquisite. The flavours, and the plating, fresh, bright, and clean. Kudos to the kitchen. One knockout was the sweet potato dessert. I’m still thinking about it. Alana was right. It was incredible.Our room was perfection. Clean as a whistle, comfortable, and plush. Turndown service with handmade chocolate pralines? Yes please!We WILL be back, and we will tell friends, family, and strangers on the street how impeccable Spicer Clovelly is.Well done. Courtney, Alex, Alana, Hannah, and Rachael you are a credit to your organisation. You all deserve immediate pay raises. (As well as the entire kitchen staff of course)Thank you for making our anniversary so incredible.Fiona McKenzie

The stay was absolutely incredible. We are always welcomed warmly and Margie made us feel at home as soon as we arrived organising a drink in the garden for us while she sorted our room. She was lovely throughout our stay including our check out. Alana was so lovely and made both our dinners and breakfasts enjoyable and relaxed. Her knowledge of the wines and her relaxed and yet professional manner was excellent. Geoff the chef is a maestro. The food is incredible. David was also a stand out during our stay. Thank you all for a brilliant stay. We will be back for sure.

Just had our first stay - celebrating my wife's birthday and our first wedding anniversary. I'm really impressed with every aspect of this place. The grounds are beautiful, the room was luxurious and comfortable and best of all was the restaurant and the staff! We truly felt special and attended to at all times - never wanting for anything. The food was absolutely exquisite, the staff had extensive knowledge of the menu and were very helpful with pairing the wine. Each dish was complex and well balanced. I also appreciated seeing the local produce and products showcased in the restaurant and on offer in the room. Special thank you to chef Geoff, and front of house Alex and Cindy for your excellent service.We can't wait to stay and eat here again!!

Great service from very friendly staff. The meals were excellent. I had some special needs, the staff took care of me.

Absolutely incredible experience from the moment we walked in.We were greeted by the team in a very friendly manor. This followed by being seated in reception on some very comfortable couches.Being able to wait in comfort and have a drink, whilst our table was prepared, made our experience so relaxing & comfortable.Every aspect of the food that came to our table was presented beautifully with flavors we had both never experienced. Truly amazing 10/10 to the kitchen. Serving intervals were also timed perfectly from entree, to mains & dessert.David, our waiter, was clearly dedicated to his professionalism. His interactive service delivery excelled in every aspect you could ever ask for.After our dinner and dessert, we were invited to take a seat back in reception (lounge area) where the staff organized a complimentary chocolate & cognac (we got married the previous day) so this was a nice way to kick off our honeymoon.Thank you for an incredible experience, we highly recommend you go here to anyone wanting an exceptional dinning experience.Kate & Dan19/03/23

Our visit to Spicers Clovelly was utterly delightful; the cocktails were delicious, food was exquisite and the whole experience was relaxing but refined. The service in particular was impeccable, in keeping with a luxury experience. We can't wait to go back.

Special shout out to Margie and the team for going above and beyond to organise a special picnic for my partner and I. They made her birthday celebration a truly memorable one. We were only there for the afternoon. But we are definitely going to stay next time. Thank you Margie!!!
