83 deluxe timber bungalows are built high on stilts and nestle in the forest canopy providing a magical and unobtrusive relationship with the natural world. All bungalows have views either to the ocean or the forested mountains. Time spent relaxing on the timber-decked verandahs is always well rewarded by sightings of birds, butterflies, possums and sugar gliders.
The views from the restaurant are panoramic, taking in the sparkling waters of the Great Barrier Reef and the World Heritage forests that cover our coastal ranges. Guests dine among the birds in the surrounding treetops whilst enjoying modern Australian cuisine with friendly five-star service.
