Sharlynn B&B

Sharlynn is a stylish and private self-contained cottage, which hugs the edge of the rainforest. The river will serenade you as you dine on your very own verandah deck. We are pet friendly but dogs MUST be kept outside for health reasons and the comfort of other guests. Due to abundant wildlife cats are not permitted

Wonderful spot and great hosts.

Reviewed By Lightest1

John and Pam De Rooy are the best hosts and we enjoyed fresh fruit and great Gallo cheese along with lots of other local produce. Set right in the rainforest and on the South Johnston River it is a beautiful location and there is a slow combustion fireplace to keep you lovely and warm on cool winter nights. It is a spacious appartment with a well appointed kitchen and a great bathroom with a spar bath which has a view of the rainforest along with a seperate shower. It's a great place to just relax and enjoy the beautiful surrounds.

Another great stay at Gumtree on Gillies B&B

Reviewed By MrsRandoman

This was our second stay at Gumtree on Gillies (we were there 3 years ago). This time we stayed in the Moroccan room and we really liked it. Lots of natural light plus the screened window above the bed opens to allow wonderful fresh air. Our host, Penny, was great as was the in-room breakfast (loved the fresh-squeezed juice!). Comfortable King size bed, super quiet room, great host.

Yungaburra Park Motel

Larger than normal, well equipped self contained rooms, some with full cooking facilities. Surrounded by great cafes and restaurants as well as numerous sites such as the famous Curtain Fig tree, Lake Eacham and Lake Barrine. Atherton is just ten minutes away.

Nice and clean. Really good service. Lovely owners.

Reviewed By Idledispenser

Really nice and clean. Well looked after. Lovely gardens and amenities. It’s a motel and it’s a nice one. Close to pins and restaurants. Took our dog and she was left a gift pack of a blanket and biscuit which was a lovely touch. Only downside is that it’s a tad expensive for a motel. $25 extra for the dog.

Reviewed By Jen E

Stayed one night at this motel, in the back section. Our room was clean, and comfortable enough for a short stay. Location was convenient being very close to shops. Across the road from the motel is the start of Halloran Park. Take a walk up to the summit for fantastic views of the city and valley below.

RELAXING and PEACEFUL

Reviewed By 421JulieM

What a trully wonderful retreat that Carina and Bob shared with us. So tranquil and surrounded by lush rainforest and tropical gardens. Each morning and eve it was so enjoyable to sit outside and listen to the bird songs, cicada hum, water flow , rainforest noises and birds feeding. Great environment to relax. Lovely walk to the river to sit and listen to the cascading water. Room was clean and had two very comfy chairs to sit and read. Had our own private outdoor area as well. Read in a review they were described as dungeons. Far from the truth! Believe the person who left the comment didn't even stay. On our arrival Carina had organised a fabulously, professional massage by Kim. Highly recommend her dedication and excellence. Perfect start to our little escape. Thank you to our hosts for making us feel comfortable and at home. Loved our time relaxing in your retreat.

The Pond Cottage B&B

Set on 14 acres of highland cloud forest with the Cottage overlooking the platypus Pond. The kitchen is fully appointed with all cooking utensils. On the verandah you will find a 2 X 2 x1 metres deep heated spa pool and a gas BBQ.

Home away from home with complete privacy.

Reviewed By mela223

Wonderful hosts greeted us roadside for an intro chit chat. We meandered down through the pine forest & huge bamboo stands to our spacious cottage. Drop your bags, there's chilled wine & beer ready & waiting, relax to the birdsong on the patio. 5-10 min drive if you need groceries from Ravenshoe, there's a fridge-freezer & you have a full kitchen with everything you need for a walk up start. (condiments galore, oils, coffee, cookies, cereal, duck food!). Didn't think I would use the heated spa pool in summer - got in & loved it! Had aspirations of doing some local walking tracks - ended up on the property most of our stay as it was such a good vibe. The pond was a little low at this time of year, but ducks etc still showed up. Like so many others have said - "We will be Back!".

A jewel in Yungaburra

Reviewed By Paul S

This is a lovely BnB in the heart of Yungaburra. Your host Katie certainly makes you feel welcome. The rooms are very clean and tidy, catering for both the business traveller and tourists alike. Whilst having TV and other mods cons , thought the collection of board games and reading material would be ideal for families and couples really getting looking for a break. Visitors will not be disappointed, I certainly wasn't !

Reviewed By Claire B

Arrived here with a written confirmation of our booking for the correct date. pregnant woman had no record of our booking even though it was her name on the confirmation! She could move some woman, a family member, out of the room and it would be ready in 2 hours. Judging by the general air of decay we declined her offer and had to wind our way back down the road to a trusted and reliable hotel in Cairns. You’d think in these difficult times business owners would make an extra effort to welcome guests but not this place!
