Rose Gums Wilderness Retreat - Hotel Review

"Rose Gums is a remote-feeling resort of just nine timber tree houses set within 230 acres of private North Queensland rainforest. It offers a true taste of tropical living, where rainbow lorikeets and white cockatoos perch on the verandahs, and the canopy views are spectacular."
