Sue and Patrick have spared nothing to make this the perfect stay in this beautiful environment a short drive from Kuranda township, and only 30' from busy Cairns yet a world away in this rainforest/garden environment. The bungalow is equipped with excellent cooking facilities if you would like to do your own meals, but close to Kuranda restaurants. Very tastefully decorated with an African theme. A very welcoming and friendly couple.
