Lake Placid Rainforest Retreat Lake Placid Rainforest Retreat is set at the foot of the Barron Gorge rainforest just out of Cairns.
(287)

We offer a friendly and relaxed atmosphere, with comprehensive advice & bookings on more than 100 tour options. 🌿 Welcome to Lake Placid Rainforest Retreat 🌿

Established in 1988 and now proudly owned and operated by the Crowe family for the past 6 years, Lake Placid is a peaceful little retreat nestled amongst the tropical rainforest, right on the banks of the Barron River. We welcome young and old, offering a quiet, relaxed atmosphere with comfortable caravan and camping sites and cabins. Take a dip in the pool, enjoy the breathtaking scenery, and keep an eye out for the beautiful birdlife and butterflies that call the rainforest home. πŸ¦‹πŸ¦πŸŒ΄

We're just 20 minutes from Cairns City, and perfectly located for exploring the region β€” only 5 minutes from the Artillery Museum, Skyrail and Kuranda Scenic Railway, and 10 minutes from Smithfield Mountain Bike Park and the Stoney Creek waterfall track. And when you're ready to relax, our lovely Bush Turkey Cafe is right here in the park, serving breakfast and dinner. β˜•πŸ³πŸ½οΈ

Come for the location, stay for the peace and quiet, and leave with a few rainforest memories. 🌿❀️
