Escape, Unplug, and Reconnect with Nature at Kuranda River Retreat
Welcome to Kuranda River Retreat.
This secluded eco-cabin for adults sits nestled on the serene banks of the Barron River in Far North Queensland.
Set amidst 100 acres of pristine wilderness, this retreat offers the ultimate digital detox. It invites you to disconnect from the modern world and immerse yourself in nature’s tranquil embrace.
A Riverside Oasis
Embrace the River’s Serenity: Wake up to the sounds of the Barron River, where natural rock pools, sandy beaches, and soothing cascades create a perfect natural retreat. The river’s flow beckons for a swim or a serene kayaking journey. From your cabin’s panoramic windows—and even from ‘the best view from the loo’—appreciate stunning vistas of the river and the lush landscape beyond.
Nature’s Playground
Explore Diverse Landscapes: Wander along trails that meander through the captivating Grass Tree Forests, dense Rainforest, and sunlit Open Woodlands that define our property. Each path offers new adventures, revealing vibrant ecosystems and abundant wildlife. Delight in encounters with our hand raised and rescued wallabies and keep an eye out for a friendly visit from our resident horses, who often meander up to greet our guests.
A Bird Watcher’s Paradise: Kuranda River Retreat is an unparalleled haven for bird enthusiasts. With binoculars provided in your cabin, enjoy a front row seat to a dazzling display of avian life. Watch as colourful parrots, majestic raptors, and melodious songbirds fill the skies and treetops, creating a vibrant living tapestry.
Tranquil Moments
Unwind in Nature’s Embrace: Relax on your private deck with a compelling novel, letting the soft sounds of the river’s cascades provide a soothing soundtrack. As dusk settles, gather around your intimate fire spot. Feel the warmth of the crackling flames, listen to the symphony of the night, and gaze up at a star-filled sky, far from the distractions of city lights.
The Heart of Adventure
Gateway to Kuranda: Just a 15-minute drive brings you to the unique township of Kuranda, the charming ‘Village in the Rainforest.’ Explore vibrant markets and local arts and crafts here, or embark on the award-winning Skyrail and Kuranda Scenic Train.
