Atherton Tablelands Eco Friendly Accommodation
Lodges are provided with fresh filtered rain water for drinking and showering. Wash your hair and feel the difference—so soft.
All water is used twice
The retreat recycles all waste through a recycling plant. This water is then reused for watering the native plants.
Bird-attracting Flora
All the trees planted on the retreat are natives - which provide seeds and nectar to attract the birds, butterflies and other wildlife.
