We had a great stay. The rustic cabin was beautifully clean and well-presented and had all the amenities we needed. We really appreciated the unexpected extras provided - wildlife food, breakfast hamper, coffee machine etc. The cottages are so peaceful and secluded, yet only a short drive to Lake Eacham. Highlights included hand-feeding the birds, the mating dances of the rifle birds, and visits from pademelons. We look forward to visiting again!

Incredible place to stay in the Tablelands and be immersed in nature and the local wildlife. John and Jenny were wonderful hosts. Giving us tips on where and how to see certain birds.

We were able to see the infamous rifle bird do its dance multiple times throughout the stay right from our balcony. If we ever return to Australia, we’ll definitely be looking to book a stay here.

Any nature/bird lover would have an amazing experience here. The cottages were perfect!

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! :-)

Romantic cottage in the rainforest of NQ

Enjoyed a peaceful weekend away in the middle of the rainforest. The tranquil atmosphere with the sounds of the rainforest birds and animals was delightful. The sound of a rifle bird could be heard in the distance.
The owner provided us with containers of food to give to small birds, bush turkeys and wallabies. He also provided us humans with a wonderful breakfast hamper of delights on our arrival.
The port and chocolates went down very well that evening.

Very quiet place to stay

I love this place so much I keep coming back. It really does have everything you need in the cabins, right down to paper towel and cling wrap. Birds will sit on your hand and eat and the paddymelons ( a type of wallaby) will come right up to the steps. So peaceful and quiet.

Best place we've ever stayed!!

Wow! What an amazing, unforgettable place this was. We stayed for 3 nights but wish we had stayed for a week! The cottages are perfect for any couple who want to get away from it all. Just a 15 minute walk to Lake Eacham. Very peaceful place in the middle of the lush rainforest. Perfect romantic getaway thanks to John and Jenny who do a fantastic job of running the place! If you are ever visiting The Tablelands you must stay here :)

Rainforest Indulgence

We spent 2 nights here in quite wet weather which only added to the atmosphere. The cabins are all you could want and nice and warm with the fire going. Lots of wildlife kept us amused on or near our deck highlighted by a beam of light through a gap in the rainforest canopy.
