Complete with a comfortable king bed, pillows and crisp linens, my husband and I could've stayed much longer had we not had other plans.

Located in Kuranda, 30 km from Cairns Station and 30 km from Cairns Convention Centre, Greenhills Retreat offers air conditioning. This property offers access to a balcony and free private parking. Outdoor seating is also available at the guest house. Impeccably clean and extremely well appointed facility. Although the space is compact (considering we had x2 large cases to accommodate), the facility more than made up for this with the outdoor space. Having breakfast at the outdoor bar area on our porch was wonderful: listening to the raucous birds in the trees, watching the Brush turkeys visit in the clearing at the end of the garden, morning and night....then on our last morning the kangaroos visited. This was just fabulous for us!! Loved the cabana in the back yard and the comfortable chairs, rugs, candles there. Fabulous for our wine & cheese board, absorbing the lovely surroundings.

Outdoor seating is also available at the holiday home. This is such a magical little spot and was one of our favorites of our whole stay. It's so relaxing, it has everything you need and is comfortable and relaxed too. I loved sitting in the egg chair just seeing the plants, listening to nature. Beautiful place- and Sharon was an incredible host too adding little extras to make our trip a special one. Highly recommended
