MainRidge on Lake Tinaroo
Best Air bnb we've ever experienced! Unbelievable location First class equipped kitchen ... Amber has literally thought of everything. All the little touches that make it a home away from home! Firstly the layout of the house has been well thought out and suited our party of two families of all ages. Enough space for everyone to spread out but excellent to all gather on the deck or in the huge living area! We just loved it and communication with the host was excellent. Would definitely recommend this property and host to everyone.

Lakeside Loft
Cassi is a wonderful host with a wonderful place! She was friendly in communication and answered my random questions regarding coffee machines. She kept me up to date and was super helpful. The place is stunning - perfect location on the lake, close to the main village for a coffee and friendly locals, the house beautiful inside and out - we spent many hours on the back deck enjoying the view, sharing meals and playing card games or under the deck playing ping pong. Perfect weather for sight seeing and even when it rained (Cassi can’t help the weather!!), we didn’t feel cooped up -we were able to sit on the deck without getting wet. Beautifully presented and allowing for relaxed living and quality time with friends and family. Well appointed kitchen with plenty of appliances and kitchenware that we had everything we needed. Will 100% be back!

Oleander Escape Lake Front Retreat
Oleander Escape was a lovely getaway to the tablelands. The house itself was cosy and comfortable with gorgeous views of the lake. The property was also very easy driving distance from yungaburra and other attractions. Would highly recommend!

LakeSide Tinaroo only 2.5km from Yungaburra town
Our two families had a wonderful stay at The Lake House. The pontoon entertained our young sons ALL weekend! They loved it. We enjoyed sitting on the deck and taking in the great view. The house was perfect for two families with two bathrooms. Great kitchen facilities overlooking the lake. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Little Lakeside
Beautiful little piece of paradise. Short stroll to the lake. Short drive to the town centre. Comfortably housed our little family. It was cold and rainy the whole time but the space provided us with a warm home to come back to. Definitely would stay again.

Melrose House
Great house, short walk to the dam. Fantastic activities to keep everyone amused (pool table, ping pong, air hockey, board games, bikes, kayaks).

Tinaroo Lakefront Homestead
The location was absolutely phenomenal and it did not disappoint in any way. The host were very gracious and we received a very warm welcome. The place was clean and well maintained. There were a lot of options for entertainment and we really enjoyed kayaking and playing pool and spending time by the fire pit. All queries were promptly answered and overall we really recommend staying here.

Lakeside Escape - Waterfrontage at Tinaburra
Our stay was so relaxing, beautiful location with a lot of activity options. A lot of lovely wildlife visiting and easy boat access. The house was very comfortable for 8 guests, both inside and out. The lake side area was very comfortable, shady and a lot of seating which made the days extra relaxing. Quiet and private.

Park House Yungaburra
If you’ve been scrolling through listings searching for a fabulous family place or one which suits a large group, then you’ve found it. There were four adults and five children in our family and this place still had plenty of room to spare. It’s clean, comfortable, cosy, quiet, relaxing, homely and has absolutely everything you need. If you wish to cook up a feast, it has a pizza oven and even a thermomix! The outdoor entertainment area is awesome and so easy to be outside watching kids roll around on the grass or use the kayaks. The kids reported their bunk room to be better than any they’ve ever used & that’s coming from teenagers. The room is seperate to the other bedrooms so the squealing, laughing & ridiculous dancing is all contained for adults to have quiet space in the pretty surroundings. Ric and Jilly were excellent hosts and we have found a place to return if we’re in the area again. Thank you for sharing your slice of heaven. 🤗🤗

Lakefront Stone Cottage
Thanks for the great stay on the edge of lake Tinaroo. it was a beautiful and private little cottage with everything that was needed. Highly recommend this place for anyone staying in the area.

Asgard, bushland, near lake.
Very welcomed very clean and tidy. Very quiet location. Beautiful ground. Will go back and stay anytime. 5 stars from us

Chic Sugar Shack- Port Douglas
The Sugar Shack is a charming and truly comfortable oasis of calm and beauty convenient to much of what the Port Douglas and surrounding region has to offer. Everything about the shack is as described, clean, functional and easy to use. Importantly at this time of the year (December) when the heat and humidity have kicked in the shack is easily cooled. No surprises. Great atmospheric views of the mountains and plenty of interesting bird life around the property. Beautiful creek with clear water. An additional bonus was being able to bring along our young retriever and watch her enjoy the freedom of the well-kept paddocks and the security of a fenced cottage garden around the shack. Delicious eggs from their contented hens too! Kylie (who met us) and Nicki were efficient and friendly and very helpful with their local knowledge and the entire experience was very welcoming. Great hosts!

Lake Tinaroo Waterfront Retreat
