Loved the property which was completely surrounded by rainforest and plenty of birds and pademelons. Attractively furnished. However we would have preferred a harder bed in the cottage we were in

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!

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.

Wonderful cottage in the rainforest with wildlife

Incredible place, really luxurious cottage with wildlife literally coming onto the porch! Really generous breakfast hamper and food pellets+mealworms for feeding the pademeleons, musky rat kangaroos and birds provided. Our only regret was rhat we only stayed 2 nights!

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!

Peaceful location best suited to having a break from our busy lives. As soon as we sat down on the sofa looking and listening to the rainforest we were relaxed. Best place to re change

Such a peaceful place among the rainforest. Waking to the chorus of varied birds is magical. The owners were so enthusiastic about there cottages and keen to pass on their bird knowledge. A wonderful experience.

Beautifully equipped cottage in a lovely secluded environment. Remarkable wildlife including a magnificent display by the Victoria Rifle bird. Very thoughtful provision of food for the birds. Wifi a bit flaky.

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.

Tolle Anlage mitten im Regenwald. Zum Frühstück kommen viele Vögel und Wallabys vorbei. Die Cottages sind wirklich groß und bieten alles was man benötigt. Super ausgestattete Küche für Selbstversorger was aufgrund der Lage schon empfehlenswert ist. Feuerholz für den Kaminofen wird kostenlos zur Verfügung gestellt, nicht selbstverständlich, sehr gemütlich. Für den ersten Morgen bekommt man einen Korb mit Frühstück. Die Menge reicht bei entsprechender Einteilung auch locker für zwei Morgen. Wir möchten noch besonders erwähnen, dass in den Cottages ein selbst erstelltes Flora und Fauna Fotobuch liegt, welches mit sehr viel Liebe und Hingabe erstellt wurde. Die Informationen sind super hilfreich um die verschiedenen Tiere zu identifizieren. Wir haben es sehr gerne genutzt.
