Atherton Tablelands Accomm.

Looking for comments etc from anyone who may have stayed at or knows of the following properties:
Eden House Garden Cottages in Yungaburra and the
Allawah Retreat and Mt. Quincan Crater Retreat near Tolga. Thinking of spending 3 or 4 nights at one location and doing little day trips to explore this region.
Many Thanks.

All three are great and are value for money.
Eden House has the advantage of being in the village and one can walk home from the restaurants. They have a good one themselves.
The other two are out of town, very private, with great views. Mt Quincan even has its own tree-kangaroos so you may not need to do a nocturnal tour to see them. Allawah is in the dryer Eucalypt forest on the western edge of the Tablelands.

We chose The Gables in Yungaburra for our October visit(although I don't know anything about it except from the website.) We decided that since we were going to be out all day and also for a nocturnal tour one day and also out touring around the other day, we didn't need to pay for "a loo with a view" or any other luxury features we weren't going to have time to use. It has a breakfast hamper which will come in handy since we are leaving for our day tour at 7 am to see those early morning birds and mammals. It is $88/night and looks quite comforable. I found them on the www.yungaburra.com/accommodation.htm I think. The places you mentioned sounded great.

Thank you for your replies. We have decided to stay at Eden House because of the convenience mentioned. It should be a good central base from which to explore the surrounding areas.

Sally,

Just had a look at the website and it is very helpful and offers a lot of good information on the Tablelands.
Thanks
