Cairns Post & Passport to Cairns

“Not far from Tolga is Allawah Retreat, a decadent getaway for those seeking relaxation or romance. Three timber lodges perch high on a hill, with sweeping views of the eucalypt woodland that dominates the northern section of the highlands. Even the lodge epithets are seductive — Moonlight and Treetops — and if that doesn't set the scene for amour, then maybe some of the sybaritic appointments will — sentimental CD’s, mood lighting, complimentary port, hand made chocolates, fresh native flowers and an inviting deck spa.”

“The three hilltop lodges at Allawah Retreat perch on a high ridge in the Australian bush and look out into the vast, beautiful expance of the Atherton Tablelands. You will never get bored even if you’re holed up in the spacious lodges, thanks to the array of amenities available, including bookes, DVD’s, board games, a BBQ and a heated jacuzzi.”

“The five-star Allawah Retreat sits on 60 hectares of native bush on a ridge overlooking the Cairns Hinterland. Owners Peter and his wife Trish, wanted to create an environment of pampered luxury surrounded by wilderness. How well they have succeeded. Right down to the lodges, each with their own spa overlooking distant Cairns... it is bliss!”
