Independent in East Russell from AU$98

"Beautiful island with lots of options for activities. Sea turtles easy to spot when snorkeling. Facilities a bit run down as mentioned in previous reviews but did not hinder enjoyment of location and use of facilities. Room could have been cleaned a bit more thoroughly especially bathroom but again nothing that took away enjoyment of stay. Restaurant meal was excellent for both dinner and breakfast and cafe was also terrific. Fantastic service from staff especially by check in and out. Excursions to turtle hospital and glass bottom boat definitely worthwhile. Great to have kitchen in room. We have one child with significant food issues so took a full suitcase of food and that was worthwhile as little store stocks effectively no groceries only chips, icebreaker and souvenirs. Made a huge difference to our stay knowing we could make meals for her that she could eat. Overall would highly recommend especially for families. In one sense being a bit run down meant it had a more relaxing vibe especially with young kids. Also was able to get a great coffee daily at the cafe. We would definitely go again. "

"Great "Queensland" architecture. Very comfortable spacious house. Glad there was an air conditioner in the bedroom and lots of fans! Good location to experience the nearby attractions; Mamu Skywalk, Paronella Park and Etty Bay beach. Great walks to Nandroya and Tchupala Falls. Very clean except for smudges on the walls in the kitchen. Lots of kitchen utensils, plates, cutlery, etc. Stayed only 3 nights, would like to have stayed longer! "

" Clean updated room. "

"Was looking for a place with individual bad rooms and a kitchen. Was only 30min to Cairns and the tablelands via Gillies Range. Staff were very helpful."

"Well appointed remote accommodation with spectacular views and friendly cows at the window!! The addition of wifi would be appreciated. Very friendly hosts and we left with lots of farm produce. The pumpkin was amazing. Pet friendly is a big plus. "
