Generally quite a nice resort. Location is nice, the property is showing signs of age. Staff were friendly and especially liked the wood fire and fresh wood supplied each night. A shame the local store has closed and no mobile coverage and no petrol. Great that resort advised prior to arrival.

Our room was warm with an oil heater and use of a laundry was a bonus. The bed was comfortable but had to wipe down the wall near the fridge as it was dirty and the microwave hadn’t be wiped out. Was great to walk to view platypus and would stay again. Dinner in the restaurant was good home cooked meal and other dinners were very friendly.

The best place to stay if you want to see platypuses in the wild. It was an amazing experience. The key to multiple sightings was being still and quiet!

Quiet and peaceful stay in the mountains. Short walk to view platypus and turtles. Short drive from the chalet for dinner and eden hills cafe for a nice coffee or lunch. Room was clean and cosy with electric frypan, jug, toaster and microwave.

Simple, quiet and peaceful. We were able to see platypus in the River and start our hikes from the cabin. No need to drive once there though we did go to the Eungella Chalet for dinner one night just to mix it up.

Good hotel to see the platypus and rainforest, very clean and good room facilities (fridge, microwave, toaster, sink etc). Staff very nice and helpful although reception only open until 5pm which is a bit early to close! Food only takeaway and only at 6pm and not good for vegetarian. Overall good stay :)

Loved the location. Loved the wild life. Walks were great. Accommodations were simplistic and need better sound proofing between rooms. Taps dripped . Staff was friendly and very informative. Had a great stay!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Broken River Mountain Resort. It's nestled within the beautiful Eungella National Park, surrounded by abundant wildlife and pristine nature. The best part was the minute's walk to the creek to spot wild platypuses in their natural habitat. The complimentary guided night tour was also a highlight, adding to the overall experience. This place is truly a gem for nature lovers.

A beautiful location. The cabin was very clean and with plenty of room. The bed was comfortable. Self-catering was easy. Firewood was offered for a wood heater, but the reverse cycle air conditioner was sufficient to warm the cabin.. Many forest walks were available. Platypus were seen in the river. Would go again.

Break from the world

We koved the location and the peacefulness of the place. The cabins are rustic but have all the amenities you need. The porch with a patio set to enjoy your morning coffee or evening meal is wonderful. The wildlife and walks in the area are really good. The internet didn't work in the cabins but you could use it by the office. We thought it was wonderful to have a break from the world.
