Atherton Tablelands Bed and Breakfast Farm Stay Accommodation, Barking Owl Retreat in Kairi, on the Cairns Highlands offers private luxury accommodation with the friendliness and atmosphere of a traditional Bed and Breakfast Farm stay. Our Atherton Tableland accommodation features two fully self contained cottages tucked away at the end of a country road in Kairi just over an hours self-drive from the Cairns Airport, minutes from Lake Tinaroo Dam, only a short drive from the Yungaburra, and close to the Atherton Tablelands main township, Atherton, on the Atherton Tableland, Cairns Highlands, Tropical Far North Queensland, Australia. Lake Tinaroo Dam is known for Water Sports, Wake Boarding, Skiing, and Barramundi Fishing, and the Historical village of Yungaburra is famous for its Restaurants and Markets. Our self contained cottages are perfect for your wedding honeymoon, romantic getaway, or family holiday.

Wake up to birdsong and the smell of fresh country air, see the Kangaroos playing and the cattle grazing, drop a line in the private dam - catch a Sooty Grunter or two. Soak in the double spa or spoil yourself by indulging in a traditional Hawaiian Temple Style Massage in the privacy of your own cottage.

Your Tariff includes complimentary Chocolates and Fresh Local Ground Coffee on arrival, and a Sumptuous Continental Breakfast Hamper Daily. Optional extras also available at reasonable rates are Other Breakfast, Wine & Cheese, BBQ, and Flower Wine and Chocolate Gift Hampers. Packages and a Gourmet Mini-Bar loaded with treats to temp you.

The newly renovated cottages interior decor resembles the colors of the Barking Owl, and have modern amenities and country touches to make you feel at home. "Owl's Hollow" has views across the paddock to the cattle yards with a mountain back drop and "Dingo's Lair" has valley views and a seasonal Dam. Both cottages are nestled alongside Native Bush land where the resident Barking Owls reside.

Centrally located on the edge of the Atherton Tableland Golden Triangle, outside the highland drizzle, just over an hours drive from the Cairns Airport. We are privileged to be just minutes away from Wineries, Coffee Plantations, Wildlife viewing, and many more local Tours and Attractions, and not to mention a Cheese and Chocolate Factory.
