Set within 93 hectares of private rainforest in the cool tropical climate of the Atherton Tablelands, Rose Gums Wilderness Retreat is an award-winning collection of secluded treehouses overlooking rainforest and mountain scenery.
Bordering the World Heritage-listed Wooroonooran National Park, it is an exceptional base for exploring one of Australia's richest wildlife regions.
Accommodation consists of nine treehouses constructed from pole and timber – studio-style for couples, two-bedroom houses that cater for four guests, and even two that can sleep up to six guests, ideal for a larger family. Separated by at least 100 metres to ensure privacy and peace, all have king-size beds, an en suite bathroom with a large spa bath and separate shower, a self-contained kitchen with microwave oven, gas hob, fridge, private verandah, washer/dryer, iron and portable fan.
Each house has an open fireplace (wood is supplied), and amenities include television, DVD player, clock radio, board games and bird field guide. The carport beside the front door has a gas barbecue, and in most cases there is only a single step up to the front door of the treehouse, so access is easy. All linen, bathrobes and indoor footwear is provided, along with a complimentary breakfast hamper for the first night of your stay with bacon, eggs, bread, butter, jams, organic yoghurt, cereal, muesli, milk, coffee, tea and sugar; you can purchase additional hampers for subsequent days from reception if you need more. Rooms are serviced every three days.
The award-winning LEAF Restaurant is set amongst the rainforest canopy, serving seasonal cuisine in a spectacular setting. The surrounding rainforest supports remarkable wildlife, including musky rat-kangaroos, platypuses in the property's pristine creeks, resident cassowaries and more than 160 bird species. Over 10 kilometres of walking trails wind through the retreat's private reserve, making it easy to experience the rainforest at your own pace.
