Located in the small outback town of Mount Surprise in North Queensland, this accommodation provides a comfortable and well-positioned base for exploring this highly remote part of Australia.

Guests at Mount Surprise Discovery Resort can opt to stay in simple self-contained cabins fitted with air-conditioning, en suite bathrooms and relaxing verandahs. Camping areas and caravan sites are also available for guests, and the property features a communal outdoor swimming pool, ideal for cooling off in the Australian heat. 

However, the main draw is its fantastic location, offering excellent access to renowned wildlife areas such as the Atherton Tablelands and Undara Volcanic National Park. The savannah bushland surrounding the resort is also home to an abundance of life, and native species such as kangaroos and wallabies are commonly seen nearby. At night, the area comes alive with activity, and guests don’t have to travel far to find a rich diversity of nocturnal life.
