Sophie and Mick the hosts were fantastic, up for a chat always to help you find out about all the places to expore and experience in this wilderness environment. Cabins were small but balconies where we spent most of the time with fellow guests were wide and inviting. The gardens and cabins were set amongst the rainforest allowing the wildlife to come to us. Cabins 3* Balconies 5* Siting and gardens 5*+ but the tipping point was the cafe with take away food at great prices for guests and locals. WQell done 5+.
No Prior Warning Given BEFORE taking money and confirming booking. Did not ask for or explain before taking booking that they were a discrimination venue. Website has been updated since to let people know but this was not there before or at time of our booking. Would not let our staff stay even though it was late in the afternoon. Sent our staff off exhausted with nowhere to sleep for the night. Took our money and to date have not provided a refund or even been bothered to answer our email.
One of the best places to stay but definitely the best place in the Iron Range area. The rooms are suitable, mostly fairly small, but a lovely covered balcony area outside each room with a table and chairs where you can sit to idle away the evenings. Communal kitchen is fully equipped if you want to cater for yourself and a cafe is available some nights if that is your preference. A full cafe/restaurant is about to be constructed. Owners and staff are all so friendly and you are made to feel most welcome.
After 11 days of camping in tents, this place was such a welcome sight!! Lyn and Stu, the owners, were incredible- friendly, welcoming and full of stories. Cannot rate this place highly enough!! Each unit had everything we needed- luxury in such a remote area.
This is a very remote location in Far North Queensland where a family has devoted their lives to offer an incredible conservational retreat. The rooms are what is know colloquially as ensuite donga’s. Very comfortable and staying very close to nature. Lovely home cooked dinner and basic breakfast but certainly a must do!!
A great place to relax and see lots of wild life, The butterflies are incredible. The rooms are very comfortable and the hosts are such lovely people. Our tour group North West safaris spent two nights there and were able to watch the second State of Origin Game much to the horror of the locals with the score. The home cooking is fabulous and they even have a can out the front which makes fabulous pizzas. This place id highly recommended.
My wife and I had 2 nights at the Greenhoose and had a fantastic experience. All the staff were very helpful and gave great advise on places to visit in the Iron Range NP and Chilli Beach area. The room was very comfortable and the rainforest setting was beautiful. We had dinner at the food van Cafe which is open on Thursday nights visitors and locals. Food was great and the coffee excellent. We would certainly visit again and spend longer there. Peter & Sharon Gallagher
Stu and Lyn always make our stay memorable. Always ready for a chat. The care and attention to detail around The Greenhoose is a credit to all who work there. The gardens and accommodation since I was last there have been upgraded remarkably. They are also very keen to learn all they can about the unique wildlife at their doorstep. Looking forward to my next trip there to see how the campground has progressed.
Lyn and her family were wonderful hosts and the standard of accommodation and food exceeded my expectations. The Green hoose is a tribute to their skills in creating a comfortable oasis and I was sad to leave!
Had a terrific time. Made so much better by the friendly, helpful staff. Recommend to anyone considering travelling and staying here. Food was great, and the cafe wonderful. They had great advice on where to find wildlife.
