Quincan Crater Retreat includes special little extras such as: Fresh home made country breakfasts each morning, fresh home made muffins on arrival, complimentary port and chocolates, fresh Tablelands roses, fluffy bathrobes and slippers, binoculars and a bird identifying book, and a DVD and CD collection; little extras like this and dedication to providing you with an intimate and private holiday are what owners Kerry and Barb Kehoe strive for.
Escape the hurried City life while resting your mind and body at Mt. Quincan Crater Retreat. Each pole tree house is nestled amongst some of Australia’s most breathtaking scenery. You will be surrounded by ancient Mabi Rainforest which contains many species of rare plants and animals. Wildlife and birds also call Mt. Quincan home so expect to share the outdoors with a plethora of birds, possums and wallabies. The Mabi Rainforest in which Mt.

Each timber pole home at Mt. Quincan Retreat has been sensitively placed along the crater optimising privacy and seclusion. Breathe in some of the freshest air in Queensland and escape the tropical humidity of Cairns. It can often become chilly during winter nights on the Tablelands and each timber home has a swivelling fireplace to be enjoyed in each corner of your retreat. Each timber tree house also has a romantic double spa bath that overlooks the rainforest hinterland. With surrounding glass walls you will feel as you are one with nature while soaking in the tub with your loved one and a glass of champagne.
All pole tree houses are completely self contained with full kitchens and laundry facilities and starter provisions such as olive oil, cereal, coffee, fruit, washing powder, dish detergent and homemade jams. Each retreat has a king sized master bedroom, an opulent bathroom with a double shower, an entertainment system with a TV/CD/DVD player and reading materials.
Mt. Quincan Crater Retreat is the ultimate romantic escape for you and your partner. Explore the fascinating rainforest or don’t leave your timber pole cabin at all; how you spend your time is up to you. In-house massages can be organised upon request and extra provisions can be coordinated too if you ask at the time of booking.
Mt. Quincan Crater Retreat is just 60 minutes away from Cairns and The Great Barrier Reef. It is situated in the heart of the Cairns Highlands (Atherton Tablelands), right outside of the pioneer town of Yungaburra. Only a short drive away are some of the Tableland’s best attractions such as the Curtain Fig Tree, Lake Tinaroo, Lake Eacham, Lake Barrine, the Kauri Pines, the Waterfall Circuit and the Mungalli Creek Organic Dairy Farm and cafe. A further drive over the Atherton Tablelands and you will find Coffee Plantations, Wineries and the Hippie/ Tourist town Kuranda. The Cairns Highlands is becoming an increasingly popular holiday spot especially for the locals but it still remains quiet and relatively untouched. Enjoy the peaceful tranquillity that surprisingly coexists so close to a major city; you will be glad you did!
