Rarely in a lifetime of work, family pressures does one get to just get away for a life changing weekend. We had such a weekend at Gumtrees and it was magical. The seclusion, room theme, everything was perfect for a most wonderful 20th Anninversary. The local Restaurants were superb and we were expertly advised by Penny our host. The ideallic location was just superb and we will be looking to coming back in the winter to take advantage of the open fireplaces, whilst sipping on good quality port. We had wonderful breakfasts with great coffee and home spun juice, this was the perfect start to our day of adventuring the Tablelands. As a B+B, this leaves the others in their wake. Magnificent.

Gumtree on Gillies - you've got it all. Beautiful rooms, delicious breakfast, attentive, charming hosts and serene surroundings. Our Egyptian room was so comfortable and we were wishing it was cold so we could enjoy the open fire.The small but thoughtful touches like chocolates, complimentry soft drinks, port, coffee to brew made all the difference between staying at an ordinary motel and Gumtrees.We felt so relaxed and it was hard to come back to the real world. We certainly recommed Gumtrees for your next getaway and we intend to go back next year and try another room destination. Well done penny and Jorg

Peaceful, scenic and very comfortable--this little treasure can do wonders to make your holiday special. The hosts--Jorg and Penny--are very thoughtful and generous. From whipping up a lovely, customosed breakfast every morning to lending you thier BBQ set to spice up a chilly evening, they do it all. The farmland and the brook surrounding the property is charming. The rooms are comfortable and the Yungaburra village has tons of character! Our young kids enjoyed the various animals--from chicken to cows in the meadows to the occassional wallabys that made appearances around the property--to the hilt. All in all, a wonderful holiday for families.

Gumtree on Gillies B&B is one of my most favourite bed and breakfasts. Their location in Yungaburra is a popular weekend spot for local in Cairns, and whenever I'm planning a quick weekend away I always check first if they have a room available, my favourite is the Moroccan Room!

I love this property because they do so many things right. Penny & Jurg are friendly but unintrusive hosts, which means there's plenty of opportunity for romance, and the setting couldn't be more perfect! All the rooms have big open fire places, comfy king-sized beds and spa baths plenty big enough for 2 people. There's nothing quite like the sound of a warm crackling fire with a glass of port and some chocolate.

They location is also great! It's just outside the township of Yungaburra, so it's really quiet. No town noise at all! It's also a really short drive to many of the key scenic features of the region; Curtain Fig Tree, Lake Eacham and Platypus Spotting at Petersen Creek. I always leave wishing I'd stayed a bit longer.
