The Summit Rainforest Retreat is a five-bedroom holiday house, which sleeps up to 16, or a 1 bedroom apartment which sleeps 4, in a luxurious, natural, environmental setting. Only one booking at a time can be made for this property, so your privacy is assured. Both accommodation types have access to the Seminar or conference room, (if requested). There are five bedrooms, four of which have private ensuites. The rooms can be configured to suit your requirements into king/twin or queen. The fifth bedroom has two single and two double bunks, ideal for the children. The Summit Rainforest Retreat is at the very peak of Halloran's Hill, Atherton's highest point. It is situated on the lip of an extinct volcano. The crater of this volcano has a dense Mabi Rainforest covering, this habitat is critically endangered and only 2% of it remains on the Atherton Tablelands. Mabi, is the local indigenous word for the threatened Lumholtz Tree Kangaroo, we have had a number of sightings of this rare species in the last 3 months on The Summit's property. Red legged pademelons, wallabies, bandicoots & possums are significantly easier to spot. John & Helen, (the owners), have planted 3000 mabi trees on the 2 Ha property, to extend this habitat. The huge deck of The Summit overlooks the valley where the township of Atherton is situated, it is a panoramic and breathtaking view. All of this nature, but still only 1.7 km's from the main street of Atherton with all the facilities that it provides. Self drive itineraries are available at Check-in. Rainforest walks are at your back door, spotlighting at night is a feature, while native pademelons, tree kangaroos and wallabies feed at your feet. The panoramic views, as you relax or entertain, are stunning. |
