‘Perfect place from which to capture the essence of the diverse North Queensland region! From the thrill of exploring the secrets of the Great Barrier Reef, ancient tropical rainforest, wild expansive outback and ancestral rock art of Aboriginal tribes, to viewing the grandeur of it all by air. A caring, knowledgeable and beautiful hotel which comes highly recommended’
