Our favourite place to stay in the Atherton Tablelands is Canopy Treetops. Set in 100 acres of ancient rain forest; this private slice of paradise offers an unique experience for all who partake. Located at Tarzali in the Cairns highlands; these luxury tree houses allow you to absorb the tranquil surrounds of nature and even comes with its own resident cassowary! If you find soaking in the spa with a nice bottle of bubbles is too taxing then you can slip on the hiking gear, slop on the leech repellent and explore the virgin rain forest. You can also grab take away beverages and some nibbles then wander down to the creek at platypus rock to enjoy the serenity as you feed the turtles. If you are very quiet, you may be lucky enough to glimpse a platypus glide by. The rain forest is alive with the sound of the riflebird mating dance, the deep rumbling of the cassowary, and the scavenging of the many pademelons. One of the best pastimes is chilling out on the balcony in the hammock, as you sway in rhythm with nature you can observe as the tree kangaroo sloths in the branches above you. Be ready at dusk for a visit from the cheeky possums, who demand their daily feed of bananas.
Each tree house (2 bedrooms) has a fully equipped kitchen plus a BBQ on the large balcony, The living room boasts a large wood heater that sets the ambiance rating to romantic and a corner spa in the bathroom overlooking the rain forest tops everything off nicely.
