Rose Gums Wilderness Retreat

What a great place, isolated yet not too far away from "civilisation". Memories of sitting on the veranda listening to the rain forest will stay with me forever. Manager is great, very helpful at all times. Local wildlife is amazing. The lodges are very well appointed and we really could not have asked for more.

We had a lovely two night stay in treehouse 8. Warm welcome received on arrival and everything we needed was in the accomodation. We did two of the trails and my partner did attract a leech but just pulled it off and no issue really. (On arrival We were warned about them due to recent rain). Very peaceful and wonderful sunrise each morning. This is a place for relaxation not necessary luxury. Sadly we didn't get to see the cassowary or pythons. Breakfast hamper was wonderful and did is two days. Lau dry facilities in the treehouse was an added bonus as we were travelling around .

We really enjoyed our 3 nights at Rosegums. We stayed in No 7 treehouse and our view was stunning from the veranda over the rainforest and the sounds of birds and insects from the surrounding trees was very atmospheric. We walked a couple of the trails (although we did get a few leeches on our lower legs where the path was narrow and it had just rained). We weren't lucky enough to see the cassowary in the area but we enjoyed seeing the birds fed one morning at reception and saw a musky-rat kangaroo. Although I gave 5 stars, I would have liked to give 4.5. It would have been nicer I feel to have a thin duvet on the bed rather than sheets and a blanket and the pillows and sheets could maybe have been slightly higher quality. There was also not a proper oven in the kitchen area but they did provide some sort of small plug in oven and a bbq instead but I did expect a proper oven as it was self-catering. Having said that we coped fine and had the most wonderful stay in this treehouse.

We enjoyed our stay at Rose Gums, our tree house felt in the middle of nowhere. The houses are comfortable and well equipped making it easy to self cater, the style is a little old school but that was part of its charm. We did a couple of lovely walks in the forest, heard lots of birds and insects , unfortunately the platypus and cassowaries proved elusive. The morning feeding of the lorikeets and musky rats are a bonus. It was interesting to visit this whole area as it is very different to much of Queensland . We found some great lakes to swim in and the town of Yungabarra is worth a visit.

We loved our stay in our treehouse/ lodge. Great to get away from everyday including internet although that could be obtained In reception area. Everything we needed for a comfortable stay, great walks nearby and saw a platypus in the creek ! Resident cassowary didn’t cause any issues! Amazing bird song ! Could do with an outside hammock and the spa bath was a bit tired : needs replacement? Wish we could have stayed longer 3 days wasn’t long enough!!

What an experience to stay here! The cabins are wonderfull! So much Birds! 'living in the rainforest' The owners gave a lot information. This is a little Paradise Nice place to go for the waterfalls In Yuranburra( Petersons Creek) you can see the platypus

This remote lodge where each cabin has total privacy is a hidden gem in a beautiful remote, forest location. The cabins are extremely well equipped and spacious. After your check-in you are left alone to enjoy and appreciate the solitude and nature.

If you are looking to relax and unwind in a stunning natural setting look no further than Rose Gums Wilderness Retreat. My partner and I spent 2 nights here and wished we had booked for more. The accommodation is made up of beautifully designed timber pole treehouses that look out over the adjoining Wooroonooran National Park. They are self contained and super comfortable (bed was so comfy!) and even come with a breakfast hamper for your first morning. David was an excellent host with great advice on what to see on the Tablelands and where to eat. Thanks for a terrific stay - we will be back.
