Your boutique self-contained cabin hugs the edge of the rain-forest and overlooks the North Johnstone River.

River Hideaway
My wife and I enjoyed a lovely two night sojourn at this hideaway over the Johnstone River. Our hosts, John and Pam, showed us the ropes and made us very welcome and their border collie Charlie, sensing that we are dog lovers accompanied us on walks and sat with us on the deck for evening drinks. The studio apartment is very comfortable and well stocked for the interested cooks. Our privacy was ensured but we were also able to interact with our hosts if we wished. I'd happily recommend this accomodation to interested parties.

About the host

Hosted by John and Pam de Rooy

Host profile image
Pam and John have worked in the photography profession all over North Queensland for the past 30 years and raised four boys through that time. They have taken a tree change to Malanda, still taking on photography assignments and enjoying hosting guests at Sharlynn by the River Bed and Breakfast.

Why they chose this property

Our family enjoyed travelling to the Atherton Tablelands regularly every year to sail on Lake Tinaroo and holiday in the area. When the time came for the tree change to a cooler and greener environment the choice for the Atherton Tablelands was easy, and when we found Sharlynn by the River it was a real pleasure to take over and continue to look after guests at this unique and very special location.

What makes this property unique

The 1.5 hectares is varied from river frontage, natural rain-forest, bunya and hoop pine plantations and fruit orchard. Combine this with lots of wildlife and Charlie the border-collie and we live in a piece of paradise.
