Shannon Australia

Fantastic private cabins. Beautiful quiet and remote place to stay. Amazing surroundings. Good food at restaurant for dinner and breakfast. Lovely staff.

Paul Australia

The experience of staying in the rainforest was wonderful. Surrounded by beautiful nature. The cabins were secluded, private, and very comfortable. Bathroom looked out into the rainforest and it was so relaxing. Customer service was exceptional with staff constantly doing their best to meet needs. It was difficult finding our way with no reception but they made it so easy by providing a great map and sharing tips.
