“A tranquil nature retreat made up of 9 treehouses — some with 2-3 bedrooms — tucked in 230 acres of lush rainforest. Comfortable wooden treehouses have sitting rooms, kitchenettes, bedrooms & dining spaces with high ceilings & balconies for birdwatching. There's a tennis court & hiking paths, too. ”

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."
