Why it's worth checking out
Secrets on The Lake (Dining on the Deck) sits on Narrows Road at Montville, in the lovely Sunshine Coast hinterland overlooking Lake Baroon. A much-loved restaurant and cafe, it makes the most of its gorgeous position — combining quality food and good drinks with a stunning setting on the deck, surrounded by rainforest and lake views, the kind of magical, scenic spot that's a genuine hinterland highlight.
The appeal is that combination of quality food, a good drinks offering and an absolutely beautiful rainforest-and-lake setting, ideal for a relaxed lunch, a special meal, a coffee or a treat while soaking up the stunning hinterland scenery. The gorgeous setting overlooking the lake makes it a genuine destination, and Secrets on The Lake has clearly won over a devoted following.
With a 4.6 rating from more than 370 reviews, it's clearly delighting its diners. Menus, opening hours and offerings change with the seasons, and a popular hinterland spot fills up on weekends and over holidays, so it's worth checking current details and booking directly where needed before you go — particularly for a weekend or a table with the best lake views at Montville.
