Unique Accommodation
Rainforest Huts
Capturing the cool, green light of the rainforest, accommodation is in secluded forest huts nestled in the rainforest canopy.
Accessed by a boardwalk to protect the forest floor, the rainforest huts have no solid walls, instead the timber structure is screened on all four sides with weather proof curtains able to be drawn for privacy and protection from adverse weather.
Each hut has a small verandah, simple furnishings and sleeps two in either double or twin occupancy.
Share bathroom 10-70m away or upgrade to a Rainforest Hut with an alfresco outside ensuite. Read more …
Deluxe Canopy Cabins
For those interested in more creature comforts, then the deluxe canopy cabins may be for you.
Of solid wooden construction with ample, screened glass windows, the canopy cabins offer maximum protection from the elements, while still offering a close connection to the sights and sounds of the forest.
Cabins are stylishly appointed with polished wooden floors, handmade natural timber furniture and spectacular glass-walled bathrooms looking out high in the trees. With a studio-style lounge and bedroom and a private, furnished verandah, the canopy cabins offer superior accommodation in an entirely natural environment.
