Rose Gums Wilderness Retreat, Atherton Tablelands

A nature lover’s delight, Rose Gums Wilderness Retreat offers a relaxed base for exploring the Atherton Tablelands region where nature and wildlife abound.

Encompassing 200 acres of native rainforest and pristine streams just 10 minutes from the volcanic Lake Eacham, Rose Gums Wilderness Retreat is a truly unique and secluded hideaway.

Looking out over Wooroonooran National Park, the self-contained treehouses are at least 100 metres apart from each other, offering total privacy. All these luxurious pole and timber houses feature a full kitchen, comfy king bed and cosy wood fireplace, with private balconies that open onto stunning mountain or rainforest views. Chef-prepared meals can be enjoyed in the privacy of your own treehouse, and a complimentary breakfast hamper is also included in your stay.

Nature trails lead right from your doorstep to pristine rainforest creeks where platypus reside. There are nine kilometres of walking tracks to explore, picturesque waterfalls to visit and fascinating wildlife to spot, including the endangered Cassowary and tree kangaroo. Not to mention abundant bird life with over 160 recorded species.
