Great place to experience the tropical willdlife of the Tablelands. The resort has an active feeding program that attracts birds and small mammals from the surrounding forests. The cottages are well maintained and comfortable with additional tit bits like complementary port and fruit. Hoghly recommended.

Lovely rainforest stay

We had 2 lovely days here. It was quiet, clean and comfortable. The kitchen was well-equipped. The breakfast hamper was great. The bed was comfortable and nice hot showers in the spacious bathroom. There is a handy laundry on-site We enjoyed sitting on the verandah watching the birds come in for the food we were given by the host. Victoria's Riflebirds, catbirds, honeyeaters and robins, amongst others, as well as musky-rat kangaroos and antechinus, all kept us entertained.

Wonderful location nestled in the rainforest with plenty of birds and animals to keep us company. It rained a lot of the time but that only added to the experience with the noise on the roof and the glistening rainforest foliage. Our beach themed cottage was very clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. Our hosts were very friendly as was their dog Noodles. Whilst we didn’t need to light the fireplace we did as it just added to the atmosphere of the surrounding environment. Just down the road from Lake Eacham and within easy access to historic Yungaburra. Would certainly recommend the cabins.

A few nights in the mountains

A pleasant change from the Queensland coast. Our experience was heightened by getting so close to some of the birds of the area with the help of our hosts. The place is well located for touring the tablelands and our hosts were extremely friendly and helpful. Hiding away in a bush location suited us well.

Relaxing rainforest retreat!

Everything was just perfect! The welcome from John and Jenny when we arrived made us feel relaxed and welcome right from the start- and the place was just perfect. Everything had been thought of and provided from bubbles for the spa bath to a beautiful bottle of port to relax by the fire! Feeding the birds and friendly Animals became a relaxing daily ritual. We left feeling nourished and refreshed.and we will return! :-)
