We are wildlife carers for the last 30 years. We look after orphaned and injured animals and raise them to be released back into the wild. We are lucky to live on a large property with natural bushland and forests which allows us to (soft) release the animals here. We have created and designed our own space from the gardens to the house and like to get our hands dirty with gardening and building.

Neighborhood
Getting around the area
Rainforest, creeks, billabongs, birds and Australian wildlife - a tropical paradise. And only 15 minutes away stunning beaches from tranquil coves, long stretches of white sand, surf and a patrolled beach for safety. Agnes Water and the Town of 1770 are access points to the Great Barrier Reef with daily services to Lady Musgrave Island only a little over an hour out by smooth riding catamaran.

About This Space
A closer look at the stay
About
The Forest Lodge: Bali-Style Retreat is just metres away from riparian rainforest which you can discover. There is a wide variety of birds and you might even see some of the native wildlife. As we are Wildlife Carers you might have the chance to see some of Australia's nocturnal wildlife in the huge aviaries where the animals can exercise as preparation for release. Forest Lodge is a peaceful oasis only 15 minutes from the pristine beaches of Agnes Water and the Town of 1770 on Queensland's east coast where the Great Barrier Reef begins. Here you can book a trip to the Great Barrier Reef, a ride on the LARC to nearby sand dunes and lighthouse, visit the museum, or just enjoy yourself on the beaches or in one of the cafes and restaurants.
The space
This beautifully appointed apartment consists of bedroom with queen size bed, living room, kitchen and bathroom. It has access to a private terrace and a Bali-style gazebo which sometime is used by the owners, too. Bed linen, blanket, doona (duvet, quilt) and towels are provided. Also free WiFi connection (except streaming) and TV. For chilly nights there is an electric heater and for hot summer days a fan, which you will rarely require because of the efficient cross ventilation and high ceilings of the apartment. Guest access: While staying with us you have your space and tranquillity. If you wish, however, you can explore the property on foot or by push bikes which are available to you. Most 3G SmartPhones on the Optus network will work here. Please ask us if you wish to have things of interest pointed out to you.
The kitchen
The kitchen is equipped with cutlery, crockery, kitchen utensils and glasses. There is no stove but electric kettle, fry pan and pots and also a small microwave with grill combo.

Please treat our apartment as you would your home. As we do not charge any cleaning fees we would like you to keep the apartment reasonably clean and do your dishes before you leave. This is a pet free apartment. Although we love pets, we can't allow pets as they are not familiar with the wildlife we care for. The apartment is also smoke free.
