We all need to listen to our inner voice and stop to "smell the roses" , otherwise life can and will become boring. Gumtree on Gillies is nestled amdist the beauty of fruit trees, chooks roaming freely, peacful paddocks of lush green... More

Lovely location, charming hosts, delicious breakfasts with fantastic freshly squeezed tropical fruit juice and large, well equipped room. The port and chocolates were a delightful touch. We thought Yungaburra was full of character (don't miss out on a amazing pizza at Nicks) and we even saw, at Penny's suggestion, a platypus! It was an easy and enjoyable walk into the... More

Rarely in a lifetime of work, family pressures does one get to just get away for a life changing weekend. We had such a weekend at Gumtrees and it was magical. The seclusion, room theme, everything was perfect for a most wonderful 20th Anninversary. The local Restaurants were superb and we were expertly advised by Penny our host. The ideallic... More

Gumtree on Gillies - you've got it all. Beautiful rooms, delicious breakfast, attentive, charming hosts and serene surroundings. Our Egyptian room was so comfortable and we were wishing it was cold so we could enjoy the open fire.The small but thoughtful touches like chocolates, complimentry soft drinks, port, coffee to brew made all the difference between staying at an ordinary...

Peaceful, scenic and very comfortable--this little treasure can do wonders to make your holiday special. The hosts--Jorg and Penny--are very thoughtful and generous. From whipping up a lovely, customosed breakfast every morning to lending you thier BBQ set to spice up a chilly evening, they do it all. The farmland and the brook surrounding the property is charming. The rooms... More

Gumtree on Gillies B&B is one of my most favourite bed and breakfasts. Their location in Yungaburra is a popular weekend spot for local in Cairns, and whenever I'm planning a quick weekend away I always check first if they have a room available, my favourite is the Moroccan Room! I love this property because they do so many things... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night stay in the African themed room. We were seriously tempted to find out if we could stay a couple more nights. We loved the friendly,warm welcome that was extended to us on arrival & on each occasion that we came in contact with Penny & Jorg. We also enjoyed the little things like the... More

I have stayed at Gumtree 3 times now and will be back again. Each of the rooms are beautifully presented. I love the fireplace, the spa bath, the decor, and the personal touches the rooms boast. The themes are tastefully done and offer comfort, warmth and luxury. I feel very spoilt not only because of the lovely peaceful setting and... More

This is a B&B with 4 rooms, I think, located on the outskirts on Yungaburra. It is a very quiet location but only 15 mins walk from the town which has a number of good reastaurants. All the rooms have themes. We stayed in the African room which had all manner of items to remind you of that continent at... More

We stayed for 2 nights at Gumtree. The B & B has 4 themed rooms, we chose 'African Elegance'. The whole room had an African theme. It was very comfortable and had a/c and an open fire (which we grateful for as it was chilly in the evenings). The owners Jorg and Penny were very helpful and friendly. There was... More
