Jon and Peta Nott have created a delightful private retreat perched on the slopes of the Great Dividing Range, with spectacular views across the rainforest towards Queensland’s highest peaks.

Accommodation is in one of four, pole & timber chalets, each with a private living area and balcony with views to the ranges, an open fireplace, well equipped kitchen and a spa bathroom with separate shower.                                   

Set amongst 230 acres of rainforest and eucalypt forest on the edge of the World Heritage area, Rose Gums provides a sanctuary amongst the sights and sounds of the tropical rainforest. With the care of true conservationists, Jon and Peta have restored the native vegetation on the property and with it has come a profusion of bird life and many of the forest’s mammals.

The pleasure from spending a quiet hour on the banks of Butcher’s Creek amongst the buzz of rainforest sounds is an experience in itself; however, the ultimate reward is in spotting an elusive platypus. Rose Gums style leaves you very much to enjoy the rainforest at your leisure or with the services of an expert local guide.
