PALM GROVE RAINFOREST RETREAT is a luxury holiday retreat nestled on 150 acres of pristine Whitsunday rainforest. The hand built stone cottage has been thoughtfully styled to invoke tranquillity and connection. Large beams compliment stone and white, with comfortable furnishings and repurposed timbers crafted throughout. Surrounded by fruit trees the retreat offers complete privacy for romancing, re-connecting and decompressing in a peaceful sanctuary lovingly curated for your pleasure.
THE SPACE
The retreat offers an outdoor spa nestled under a gazebo overlooking the valley. A queen bed lays in a large open bedroom with bathroom to one side and laundry conveniently hidden along the back wall. A handcrafted coffee table and couch sit at the end of the room, beside French doors which lead out to the gazebo. Large windows frame the view through to the private tropical garden. The main living area features full kitchen with butlers sink, island cook-top and amenities overlooking the rear garden, with a door leading out to the expansive lawn from which to enjoy the magic and brilliance of the night sky.
The dining table and large couch span across a feature wall of repurposed fallen rainforest timbers. A television is provided for movie watching on lazy days. Air-conditioned throughout, large windows surround the space allowing the cooling breeze to flow. With views from every angle a vintage desk completes the bespoke furnishings tucked neatly beside the entrance to the front garden.
Outside you will find sun loungers overlooking the banana grove where you can lay watching the native bird life, whilst enjoying the serenity. A stroll down to the creek passes an organic vegetable garden. We encourage you to pick a few seasonal offerings to enjoy with your meals. To the rear of the cottage you will find the rainforest walk with giant fig trees adorning old growth forest abundant in native flora and fauna.
GUEST ACCESS
Exclusive access to the property is found via the private driveway which leads up to the cottage with plenty of space for parking. The entrance is via the front garden which overlooks the banana grove and hosts the gazebo to the side.
