“Great Place, Great hosts, Great value...”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 August 2010

After what could only be described as an absolutely painful stay at a so called resort in Kuranda, we passed through Yungaburra- and found this little Gem...

Initially stopping at the local Info center, we received some of the most friendly help from one of the loyal local's, who suggested this place- and even offered to find out if a room was available for us... That's awesome service.

The room was clean, nicely detailed, queen size bed, has split system a/c, flat screen tv and even free WiFi
Breakfast was served on the deck outside the room- service was top notch too.

If I had to fault the place at all, I guess it would be room size is a spot on the small side...

That said, for an overnighter and for the money- what more could you really want?
For a "motor inn" type of place - this is about as good as it gets...
Well run, Quiet, nice location and very satisfying- thumbs up

Was a damn sight cheaper than the rubbish tip where we stayed in Kuranda, and is ten fold the stay.

Though we only stayed one night, we would definitely go back...

Very Impressed

“Sweet hotel in traditional Aussie Town”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 July 2010

Basic, but spotlessly clean room in a sweet hotel. Gorgeous, well-cared for garden and pool area. All rooms have a small table and chairs outside facing the gardens. Proper peace and quiet apart from the Kookaburra!

“Enjoyed Yungaburra”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 November 2009

person found this review helpful

A good stopover point on a car journey through the Tablelands. Kookaburra lodge rooms were more than adequate and the terrace garden was perfect for breakfast. The owners were very friendly and gave good advice about the area ,and a free PC in reception enabled us to catch up on our e mails. Nearby Flynns restaurant was excellent but the highlight of the visit was viewing the platypus along the riverbank.

Yungaburra is a good location for the Tablelands. The owner is very helpful and gives you lots of very good advice. The rooms are nice and the site is pretty. Value for money it is very good.

“A Fantastic location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 August 2009

What a shame we only had one night a this lovely motel.
Yungaburra is a fabulous historic town. You are right out in the countryside, and there is a glorious sound of birds everywhere. The motel is charming, and we enjoyed breakfast on the veranda, overlooking the garden. This motel was great value, and I would love to go back one day.
If you are lucky (we were) you might be able to see a Duck Bill platapuss, down at the Creek. We were therein the late afternoon, and followed one down the creek.
