The roundhouse is an octagon shaped pole cabin, set three metres high to enjoy magnificent views of the surrrounding rainforest, 200 metres from the nearest house, a 200 metre walk from the car park and right next to your own private beautiful fresh water creek.

This unique place features a (composting) toilet with rainforest views, an outdoor (hot) shower, solar electricity, a queen size bed in the loft, a couch/daybed in the living area, an east-facing breakfast bar and basic kitchen facilities. Do not let the open design concern you, the nights are mosquito free!

As this is not your usual place, please have a look through the photos and descriptions to see if this place would suit you, most people love it but for some it is just too scary!

View from the entrance, there are screens that can be rolled down to keep the rain out, but not needed for mosquitoes as there simply aren't any at night!

40 square metre of octagonal living space

The daybed can be used to sleep a third person, ladder going to the loft with a queensize bed

The loo with a view, also known as composting dunny

The kitchen, bit basic but it has a 3 burner stove, toaster, steel box to lock food away from wildlife, and an esky to keep things cold (no fridge).

The world famous outdoor (hot) shower, as you are hundreds of metres away from the nearest house this is very private, except for the odd cassowary poking his head around the corner....

And if you thought the house was cool, wait till you see the pool....
The roundhouse is built next to a beautiful freshwater stream and a short track and some steps down the bank lead to a small waterhole, a bit small to swim in but what a place for a relaxing afternoon drink....

Please note the ladder going to the bedroom in the loft which makes this cabin a less suitable option for older, less mobile or large size people.

Rates for the roundhouse are $120.- p.n. for a couple, $15.- extra for a third person. This includes linen and towels but no breakfast, the local shop sells most normal food items and the cabin has some basic cookingfacilities, crockery and utensils.

The roundhouse is a self contained, self catering accommodation and is not part of the B&B, and council restricts B&B's to only serve breakfast to B&B guests.

As refrigeration is hard to organize without mains electricity the roundhouse has no fridge. There is an esky (also known as chully-bun or ice box in other parts of the world) to keep some things cold with ice.
