Summary: Living in the rainforest with the ancient trees and lush undergrowth we were able to relax surrounded by the local wildlife nearby. We feel fully recharged and ready to face big city living once again - all thanks to this very magical spot in Speewah. Thank you to Our host and family for giving us the space and support to do this.

Summary: Having lived in this area a few years ago, it was amazing to be back amongst nature and the peace and serenity of Honeybee House. It sits within a beautiful environment, is near to the National Park for rainforest walks and if you want to see other people, it is near to Kuranda where there are shops, cafes and a supermarket.

Summary: What a beautiful gem. Lovely property set on several acres of lovely gardens and rainforest. So quiet and peaceful. Also a lovely part of the Atherton Ranges, close to Mareeba and Kuranda. House was comfortable with everything you would need. We will return.

Summary: Peace, perfect peace in a lovely garden setting. The house is welcoming, very comfortable and comprehensively equipped. Our holiday was for our elderly dog’s sake as much as ours, and I don’t think that she would have found a better home away from home anywhere. Melissa and Warren are unobtrusive when they’re not helping guests, but immediately responsive when help or advice is needed. Speewah is a little hidden gem off the Kennedy Highway. It is a great location as a base for both the Tablelands in one direction, and Cairns northern beaches and airport in the other. A proper community too, with a little convenience store attached to a friendly pub with a pretty good menu. When you’re out walking (you should get out walking, the area is beautiful), the locals will stop to chat. We told Warren that we’re not leaving, he’ll have to change the locks 😊 I’m afraid that Real Life(™) gets in the way, but it’s that sort of place, you won’t want to leave. Write a comment…
