Purpose designed for comfort in the wilderness, our luxury timber and glass treehouses are perched high in the rainforest canopy on the banks of the flowing Ithaca River.

Purpose designed for comfort in the wilderness and positioned for complete privacy each Treehouse has king beds, a double spa, a wood fireplace, fully self-contained kitchen, and a balcony with a BBQ and hammock. All are totally secluded and offer a spectacular retreat from the everyday.


In a world of rapidly shrinking ecosystems our protected 100 acres of rare upland complex mesophyll vine forest is part of one of the largest untouched tracts of rainforest on the Cairns Highlands and offers a phenomenally high density of rare and unique wildlife

Resident Cassowaries, rare Lumholtz’s Tree Kangaroos and endangered Green Possums call our forest home whilst shy platypus inhabit our river.
Pademelon Wallabies abound and Coppery Brushtail Possums will visit your balcony every night, whilst Northern Bandicoots and other marsupials forage on the evening forest floor.
Wake to a serenade of birdsong every morning as an ever-changing parade of rainforest birds greet you on your Treehouse balcony, or wander along our many walking tracks and immerse yourself in the grandeur of pristine, old growth, high country rainforest.

We are privileged to be the custodians of this very precious, special place.

The magnificent Cairns Highland’s region also boasts stunning waterfalls and crystal clear lakes, ancient national parks, majestic trees and walking trails, and local crafts, artisans and markets.
