The Canopy Rainforest Treehouses and Wildlife Sanctuary

Private accommodation located within the rainforest overlooking a creek.

We had a lovely relaxing time and really enjoyed the friendly animals.

What a beautiful area.

If you love nature, you will love The Canopy! We spotted a platypus on the first day and a cassowary on our way out! The birds are beautiful and the turtles plentiful. The staff were kind and helpful. They even built a fire for us on a cool day. Loved every minute of our time there.

Beautiful rainforest.

Absolutely a slice of rainforest heaven

Following our host on his bike along a winding track, our bungalow came into view, nestled in the rainforest. As the brochure promised, the veranda looked out into the forest and to the lazy-flowing creek below. The setting is wonderful, very private and peaceful. The bungalows are well appointed for self-sufficient extended stays - which is important as Yungaburra is a solid 25 min drive each way. The wildlife is plentiful - we were visited by a variety of birds, brush tail possums and pademelon. The property’s walking trails led us to reaches of the creek where turtles were abundant. BUT, the Canopy’s brochures are well out of date. Despite the fresh flowers, our bungalow felt neglected and in places was simply grotty. The place had an all-pervading smell of mildew, with patches on the walls. In the kitchen and bathroom, the mastic was peeling-away, the light fitting was full of dead insects, and the fans held what must have been several years’ worth of dust and grime. The BBQ was clean but not what you’d expect at a ‘luxury’ destination. Whilst there was a washer and dryer downstairs, the light didn’t work. The bed-side light had no globe. The bare nails in the (dirty) wall above the bed showed were once hung pictures. The used Band-Aid perched on top of the shower screen rather told the tale: cleaning and maintenance are not a priority here! At almost $300 / night, today this property delivers only on its stunning location.

Amazing experience. We loved our stay and would highly recommend. Seeing Platypus from our deck was a hit.

Toller Host und Familie mit tollen Empfehlungen. Wildlife pur. Nur zu empfehlen.

The place was amazing . Very comfortable and quiet.

Old growth rainforest , good bird spotting, cassowary sighting, appliances such as dishwasher, bbg, water jetted bath, washing machine and drier need replacing, not sure if the old wood fire had an asbestos seal around the door or not but was old

Grosse Veranda mit top Grill. Treehaus auf zwei Etagen. Ofen mit Holz und Bettheizung!

The location and the environment are very good as I expected. It is a wonderful situation for nature lovers to relax and stay calmly.

Som att bo i paradiset! Lyx och natur. Fåglar och opossums som kom och hälsade på. Fågel- , opossum- och sködpaddsmat tillhandahölls av hotellägaren. Fina promenadvägar.

Service: Go the extra mile; Cleanliness: Spotless;

Great place, lots of wildlife and extremely well run.

The location of the Rainforest Unit was very suitable for those people interested in a stay in a wildlife sanctuary. The wildlife and diversity of birdlife in particular were a real delight. The unit itself was a little worn but comfortable.
