Malanda Lodge
8.9 (106 reviews)

Malanda Lodge ★★★

📍 5 Merragallan Rd, Malanda

"It is great value for money and way beyond my expectation. The wall between rooms is very thick brick which provided good privacy and quiet environment. They provide an after-hour number to call in case of need which is very considerate. I will recommend to anyone travel in this region."

The Canopy Rainforest Treehouses & Wildlife Sanctuary
8.8 (43 reviews)

The Canopy Rainforest Treehouses & Wildlife Sanctuary ★★★★

📍 247 Hogan Rd, Tarzali

"We stayed at The Bower House for 3 nights, a perfect retreat. The house was spotless, had everything we needed and more. I am terrified of insects but I assume that the rooms are sprayed because it was not an issue It rained for most of the time (to be expected in a rainforest) but did not spoil the enjoyment. The screen on the windows allowed us to leave the windows open at night, falling asleep to the sounds of the rainforest in very comfortable beds Bird seed at the house tempted an abundance of tropical birds onto the balcony , a pandemelon and brush turkeys were regular visitors and we were delighted to be visited by a cassowary on our last day. So relaxing to lie in the spa bath with views of the forest. We had bought coal and firelighters for the bbq but they were not needed as the bbq is gas. Loved every moment of our stay and would recommend 100%"

Chambers Wildlife Rainforest Lodges ★★★

📍 Eacham Cl, Lake Eacham

"Great Location - Poor Accommodation & Service! We first stayed here 11years ago and were VERY disappointed (my last review is still listed here on Trip Advisor - September 2013). My partner thought she’d give us a night away and after reading some of the more recent 4-5 star reviews, we thought that things had changed. Unfortunately, we were wrong. I’m not sure if other people have a different expectation than us when paying $200+ per night, or they were lucky to get a better room, but things have only marginally been upgraded and our experience doesn’t come close to what some other reviewers have written. For $200 per night for a one bedroom unit, we expect better than what Chambers Wildlife Rainforest Lodges provide. We were placed in a centre unit of three. The interior of this unit was better than the one we inhabited in 2013 and had been given a facelift with newer furnishing, upgraded floors, ceiling and walls. However, whilst renovating the walls I think they forgot to include any sound proofing. The noise by other guests next door, from both left and right of the unit, was ridiculous. What sounded like doors or cupboards being slammed shut went on and on during the late evening and early morning. There was no mould this time and a de-humidifier was going flat out when we arrived. This seemed to be working well and the room was dry. We don’t use a de-humidifier where we live, were not familiar with it and as there were no instructions or notice to turn it off, we left it going. Not a good idea, because at 1:45am the unit decided to start beeping loudly to advise us of something wrong. I immediately turned it off. Although we didn’t expect anyone snooping around outside, the bedroom curtains didn’t shut completely (see attached photo) and there were NO curtains in the front room, apart from see-through white mesh ones. Privacy was non-existent. The bathroom lights didn’t work - virtually just glowed - a candle would have provided better light. We had to compensate for this lack of light by using one of the bedside table lamps (see attached photo) which was ridiculous and it looked like the wiring at the damaged lamp plug could potentially be dangerous (see attached photo). When we told the reception about this, it was made out to be our fault for not turning up the dimmer switch. Funny thing was, they didn’t have a dimmer switch, just on on/off switch. As I said at the start, there have been some improvements, however, they forgot to sort out the gas cooker. The control nobs on the cooker were basically unreadable (see attached photo) and badly damaged. The gas was barely coming out (maybe the bottle was empty?) and was only just enough to warm some steak we’d purchased for dinner. As to the wildlife, we saw a sugar glider, a long-nosed bandicoot, a honeyeater and a whip bird. We also heard a wompoo pigeon. The sugar glider and bandicoot looked like the ones we saw being feed last visit but I don’t think they’d have lasted 11 y"

Malanda Falls Retreat
10 (1 reviews)

Malanda Falls Retreat ★★★

📍 141 Malanda Atherton Road, Upper Barron

"Best air bnb type accommodation I’ve ever stayed in. It was absolutely immaculate. It was clean, extremely well appointed and had everything you could possibly need plus many little extras. Location is perfect to explore the Atherton Tablelands region. Hosts were so welcoming but while they lived in a seperate house on the same property, I never knew they were there, my privacy was completely respected."

Rose Gums Wilderness Retreat
9.0 (19 reviews)

Rose Gums Wilderness Retreat ★★★★

📍 324 Land Road, Butchers Creek

"This was one of the best stays we had on our 3 week travel in Australia. We stayed for 2 nights and stocked up to ensure we were cut off from everything and enjoyed 2 full days of doing next to nothing. We bought food to BBQ which we enjoyed on the balcony/veranda area. The check in was flawless and was informed due to a wet season there would be leeches lying in wait. We were advised to wear thick socks and to tuck long pants into them if we were to follow the trails. We followed the trail to see one of the waterfalls but 15 minutes into the walk I’d had enough of flicking leeches off us I headed back. When my partner returned he’d had leeches weave into his boots and have good feeding session on his feet. We did not get to see a cassowary but listening to the tranquil sounds throughout the day and night were just fascinating and enjoyable. The tree house had great amenities. The washing machine allowed us to wash most of our dirty laundry. It was really nice to shut off from social media and mobiles for a couple of days."

The Canopy Rainforest Treehouses & Wildlife Sanctuary ★★★★
"Perfect place to stay in the rainforest. We planned to make excursions in the area to seek birds and wildlife. They all came to us. Cassowaries and delicate little pademelons under our veranda. Green-winged pigeons, whip birds, catbirds, rifle-birds visiting. Missed one photo of rifle-bird because it was perched on camera. Scrub turkeys everywhere. Possums. Stream just below with turtles and platypuses. Complementary tour with resident nature expert, who pointed out tree kangaroo and fluorescent lichen. Cabins are charming, tucked into forest so you're unaware of neighbours and feel very private. Fire on cold evenings, well equipped kitchen, to cook at home, since it seemed foolish to be elsewhere. Highly recommended."

Chambers Wildlife Rainforest Lodges ★★★
"Our room was clean, comfortable and modern. The reason to visit Chambers though isn’t for the room but the location and the wildlife spotting, We loved our overnight stay and it was a perfect location for a two day tour of the tablelands. Being down a track in the middle of the rainforest really felt special and we were all blown away by the wildlife we were able to see from the hide in the evening. "

Rose Gums Wilderness Retreat ★★★★
"What an amazing place. It can be found along a track about 3km off the nearest road. On arrival the owner met us and explained the walks and gave us a tip that we could see platypus in Yungabarra just up the road at dusk, we did see them too. The treehouse we had was 2 bedrooms and had a proper kitchen(except an oven) with a super duper microwave that cooked anything!. You receive a welcome hamper in the fridge which has eggs, bread, milk and cereal. The views are amazing and the noises of the insects at night and the birds at sunrise will live with you forever. There are a few walks on the property or you can venture out to one of the local lakes. We saw the musk rat kangaroos and lorikeets being fed in the morning at reception."

Mt Quincan Crater Retreat ★★★★
"We booked the entire Mt Quincan Crater Retreat for our wedding and stayed for four nights. From the minute we arrived, we knew we’d made the right choice. The warm welcome set the tone for our whole stay. Freshly baked scones with jam and cream, along with a homemade loaf of bread, were waiting for us when we arrived. It was such a thoughtful touch and made us feel instantly at home. Our cabin was beautiful. The fireplace, spa bath, robes and knitted slippers made it feel so cosy and relaxing. Everything was spotless, and you could tell how much care goes into looking after the retreat. The views are absolutely stunning. Looking out over the rolling green hills towards the Seven Sisters, with cows grazing in the paddocks below, is something we’ll never forget. Every morning we sat outside with a coffee, listened to the birds and enjoyed the peace and quiet. It was exactly what we needed. Breakfast each morning was another highlight. The fresh local produce provided was delicious, and we loved being able to cook it ourselves and enjoy it on the deck while taking in the view. Having the entire retreat exclusively for our wedding made the weekend even more special. We held our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception there, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. Our family and friends could relax, enjoy themselves and really make the most of the beautiful surroundings. It created such a warm, intimate atmosphere that we’ll remember forever. The location is also great, with Atherton only a short drive away if you need to grab anything during your stay. If you’re visiting the area, we’d also recommend spending some time in Yungaburra. We had great meals and coffee at the Yungaburra Hotel, Our Place and Mr Belson’s Café. Mt Quincan isn’t just a place to stay—it’s somewhere that stays with you long after you leave. It was the perfect place to celebrate the biggest weekend of our lives, and we honestly can’t wait to come back."

Crater Lakes Rainforest Cottages ★★★★★
"A wonderful place deep in the forest where all you can hear is the birds - and get the most fantastic views of them. Our bungalow was just beautiful. It was clear that so much thought had gone into providing us with anything that we might need for a great stay - it felt, and was, generous. The port in the crystal decanter was just the loveliest touch and we will never forget the wonderful displays from 'our' riflebirds, whipbirds, catbirds and so many more. Highly recommended!"
