Why it's worth checking out

The Barn on Flaxton sits on Flaxton Drive in the Sunshine Coast hinterland, near the picturesque villages of Montville and Mapleton. A charming cafe set high in the hills, it's become a much-loved destination — the kind of scenic, relaxed spot that rewards the drive up with good food, coffee and lovely views over the surrounding country.

The appeal is that combination of quality cafe fare and a beautiful hinterland setting, perfect for a leisurely breakfast or lunch while exploring the area's galleries, gardens and lookouts. The hills around Flaxton and Montville are a beloved escape from the coast, and a welcoming cafe with a view fits the mood perfectly.

With a 4.8 rating from more than 700 reviews, it's clearly delighting its visitors. Menus, opening hours and offerings change with the seasons, and a popular hinterland cafe gets busy on weekends and with day-trippers, so it's worth checking current details before you head up — though for a coffee and a bite with a view, it's often just a matter of dropping in as part of a day exploring the hinterland.
