Fact Sheets & Video - Brisbane

Surrounded by World Heritage-listed rainforest, this spot is very family-friendly.

For adults, it's a time to relax and get to know the family again.

And kids stay for free.

The guesthouse has a kids club to keep with all sorts of activities. There are also plenty of 'grown-up things' to do including guided rainforest walks every day, or you can grab a map and go it alone.

One of the prettiest walks is the Treetop Walk, which will get you up above the tree canopy.

From the top you can spot one of the more than five hundred waterfalls.

The guesthouse accommodation offers everything from budget rooms to rooms with four-poster beds, and what makes this place especially relaxing is that there is no TV or phone.

They also have a pool, games room and library, and when it comes to your appetite you'll find country cooking to suit every palate.

Being in the heart of a National Park, the place is also teeming with wildlife.

Every night after dinner it comes alive with nocturnal animals, making for spectacular post-dinner entertainment.

Everything from possums and pademelons to snakes call the National Park home and they can be seen on one of the night walks.
