Broken River is a very unique place. The compound of numerous buildings sits above the Broken River next to great Platypus viewing locations. The resort also will drop you at the end of some nice hiking trails. You can also sign up for guided nature walks that are great. The onsite restaurant serves excellent food. We ate there both nights... more

This place is actually called a retreat which is what it is. It is a place to get back to nature. The cabins are rustic so they blend in with the surroundings. I stayed in the Echidna accomodation which was one room with a kitchenette and bathroom. There is a shuttle available to a couple of the trailheads located in... more

Worth the drive up the mountain. The units are a little tired looking, but you could use the word 'rustic' as they blend in with the location. Food was excellent in the restaurant, which is good news since you are a captive audience if you don't want to self-cater. Staff were friendly and helpful and there was a good choice... more

We are really glad we made the detour to the Broken River Resort. We stayed in a 2 bedroom cabin, that was a bit worn, but it was clean and it had everything we needed. The location is great, near the river with platypus, turtles, water snakes and azure kingfishers. Reception was friendly and the restaurant was very good. We... more

The location of the resort was ideal with great walks and views of the platypus in the morning and evening within easy reach of the lodges.. The chalets were clean but tired. They are well stock with cooking utensils for self catering. There was a team building conference in progress using the lawn outside the chalets for 'games' so not... more

This is off the beaten track but well worth it. It is the most reliable place to see Platypus in their natural habitat and we were not disapointed! The room was clean and comfortable and the hotel grounds were really nice. There were forest walks nearby too. The food in the restaurant was good and there was a roaring log... more

We stayed at the Broken River Mountain Resort (resort is not good terminology for this small place!) for two nights as part of a six week holiday and it was a memorable stay. We chose a 'platypus room' (there are also larger rooms and lodges with self-catering facilities) and although it was very small, it was fine for us, clean... more

This hotel is located in a beautiful national park, surrounded by rain forest, and right next to a river with great hikes and platypus. The units are rustic, and in great need of an uplift but they were comfortable. The grounds are beautiful and the restaurant was great. Be sure to order the "boomerang". more
