One to add to your Atherton Tablelands itinerary.

Millaa Millaa Falls is around a 40-minute drive from Rose Gums and one of three waterfalls along the famous Waterfall Circuit, alongside Zillie Falls and Ellinjaa Falls.

Spend the day exploring waterfalls and rainforest before heading back to your treehouse for a quiet evening surrounded by nature.

Somewhere beneath all that green, there’s a balcony with room for two.

Where breakfast becomes brunch, birds provide the soundtrack, and all the creature comforts are tucked into your own little corner of the rainforest.
Get a little lost together.

Sometimes the best way to experience a place is simply to walk through it.

Follow the trail to the waterfall, wander through the rainforest in search of platypus, or simply take your time and see where the path leads.

More than 30,000 native trees have been planted at Rose Gums since 1995, helping transform previously degraded land back into habitat for the wildlife that calls this place home.

Just you, me and a little treehouse hidden amongst the rainforest.

Waking up to birds outside the window, slow coffees on the balcony, days spent exploring the Atherton Tablelands… and evenings tucked away beneath the trees.

Sometimes a few quiet days together is all you need.

What our guests are saying.
A little collection of kind words shared by our guests over the past three months.

There's so much that goes on behind the scenes here at Rose Gums, and hearing that those little extra touches have made someone's stay special really does mean a lot.

We're incredibly grateful to everyone who takes the time to share their experience. It's a lovely reminder of why we do what we do.

Cassowaries are full of surprises - from the important role they play in keeping the rainforest healthy to just how unique these incredible birds really are.

There’s just something different about waking up surrounded by rainforest that has been here for millions of years.

Morning light through the canopy, birds calling from the trees and nothing on the agenda except deciding how you want to spend the day.

At Rose Gums, a new day begins in one of the world’s oldest living tropical rainforests.
