POLE & TIMBER TREEHOUSES

Rose Gums Wilderness Retreat is situated on the coastal mountain ranges on the Cairns Highlands/Atherton Tablelands adjoining
World Heritage Wooroonooran National Park is a comfortable 1.5 hours drive from Cairns.

Rose Gums Wilderness Retreat is a unique nature lover’s paradise where the cool tropical climate is enhanced by the pole & timber treehouse accommodation with views to the spectacular rainforest and mountain scenery. Offering total privacy guests can explore the walking tracks through the 230 acre property, and discover platypus in the pristine rainforest creeks with the abundant wildlife including over 160 bird species.

This is a relaxed family owned and run property which welcomes children. There are only 9 handcrafted pole & timber treehouses.
You will need to hire a car to get there and study a map.

The treehouses are designed to blend into the tropical environment, and have spectacular mountain or rainforest views over the highest mountain in Queensland, Mt Bartle Frere (1615 metres) and surrounding World Heritage listed wilderness.

While here you can walk to a waterfall, discover platypus in the rainforest streams, relax in front of your cosy fire, swim in a cool rainforest stream and take the walking tracks through the forest.
