This was to be a retreat for my wife as she is an avid birdwatcher and the time of year is critical for when you come here. The setting is idyllic set in the middle of a rainforest as if is you were light years from civilisation. What you would hope for but rarely see is the rifle bird in... More

Four of us stayed in the Pioneer cottage and really enjoyed being in beautifully decorated wooden cottage in the middle of the rainforest. Two nights here is recommended at least as there's lots to explore in the area - recommend waterfall circuit, hitting Mungalli Creek Dairy for lunch and cheese platter. The owners were very kind and helpful. Heading back... More

We recently had two nights in the Crater Lakes cottages and loved it. A fantastic set of cabins in the rainforest, beautifully furnished whilst somehow seeming to be part of the surroundings. The forest is literally on your decking as wildlife abound pays visits in the hope of a tasty morsel - great to experience. The cabins are great with... More

We recently stayed at Crater Lakes for a romantic birthday getaway. My husband was skeptical about a cottage in the rainforest as we usually go for resorts and high end hotel stays, and as we couldn't get there until 7pm, driving in the dark made it worse! We eventually found the cottages and settled in for the night. The log... More

We had 2 nights in the "Pioneer" cottage & could have stayed for many more. The setting is amazing with the most diverse flora & fauna at arms length, even more so as the village of Yungaburra is only a 10 minute drive away. The cottages are designed & equipped to a very high standard, with everything that is needed... More

John and Jenny greeted us warmly and really went above and beyond to make our short stay memorable. The cottages are excellently equipped with everything you need and the attention to detail was refreshing! I work in the travel industry and the cottages provided the perfect getaway and relaxing environment. Stunning Lake Eacham is only a few minutes away and... More

It was our first experience of 'rain forest' and we spent hours watching and listening to the wildlife from our veranda. Each cottage has complete privacy in a very natural setting. Our cottage was tastefully decorated on a nautical theme. It was well equipped and we were pleased to have the wood burning fire and electric blanket during the chilly... More

This would have to be one of the best places we stayed on our Nth QLD trip. Everything was perfect. The wildlife was amazing, coming down to feed in the mornings and evenings. My husband was most impressed with the Weber Q barbie. The breakfast hamper on arrival was enough to feed an army. The spa was amazing and bed... More
