Cedar Park Rainforest Resort

LOVED THIS PLACE. The family that owns it is in it for all the right reasons, and it shows. The resident animals are an incredible element all by themselves. The rooms are huge, the beds heavenly, and the showers hot. They serve a fantastic dinner that is not to be missed. If we ever have the luck of being back in the area, we will for sure stay again (and hope to meet the Platypus next time!)

We wanted some chill out time away from the every day things in life - thiscertainly gave us time out and was a wonderful place to stay I was certainly different with it's gothic quirky style but very relaxing with it's lovely grounds and creek closeby you can hear your own thoughts and the birds are singing with the forest eveloping you The new owners are still finding their feet and are defintely commited to the future of the business they defintely make you feel relaxed and welcome - and I wish them all the best The food is amazing in every way and Peter has taken the time to find the right person for the job They are slowly upgrading things around the place that needed fixing as It took some damage in last years cyclonic weather

Only cons I can think of of, is the fact I booked only one night in Cedar Park. I loved the room,facilities, food... But above all - the very warm welcome and care the owners gave. Strongly recommend if you are into a real gateway, located actually deep in the rainforest. Go there.

I use hotels on my journeys since years but this is the best i ever seen....nice rooms, all like in the ad, fotos are worse than reality, awesome team and owners...very good food and drinks to for the area cheap prices...the nature and the wildlife around are very very beautiful and to eat with a peacock is something special too...all together a little paradise in the hills

It's pretty magical to go out to the covered dining area for breakfast and have a wallaby hop in from the woods to get a piece of sweet potato. They even have on site bee hives producing honey for the breakfast. It is about an hour drive up some winding roads from Cairns, so you definitely need a car to stay there. We did some amazing sight seeing from there though. So I would highly recommend it.

Wonderful, peaceful, refreshing

What a fantastic little place this was a few miles from Kuranda. The rooms were spacious and furnished with a real "jungle lodge" feel to them. There is also a nice deck out in front of the rooms with lounge chairs and a hammock. There are only 6 rooms and we were the only people staying there that night so we had the place to ourselves. They have a restaurant and a menu to look at ahead of time to order from to book your dinner. You just tell the chef what you would like to order and what time you would like to eat and he prepares your dinner for you when you want. We ordered a pasta dish each and it was the best food we had eaten since being in Australia (we had been there for 2 weeks). The dessert was well presented and so delicious as well. You can bring your own bottle of wine to the table which we did. We were woken up in the morning by various birds squawking but it was a great experience to be somewhere like this. I would highly recommend this gem!

My wife and I spent a weekend here recently, which is too short a time in such a beautiful place. Another couple of days is needed to appreciate the peacefulness and relax a bit.

Facilities: Renovated 1970's building; Value: Great deal; Service: Great personal service; A great relaxing base within easy reach of Kuranda and Atherton attractions.

Interesting architecture, fabulous surroundings, very charming and personable hosts (without being imposing) and comfortable facilities.
