Situated within the Eungella National Park this eco-resort is lovely. We arrived after dark and in pouring rain - I would advise arriving in the daylight if possible as the mountain road is a little hairy! The resort is comfortable and clean. The food in the restaurant nice but fairly expensive (captive audience I guess). Saw a turtle and a... More

We stayed there for one night and the position of the hotel is just perfect near to national park and 1,5 hour drive from Mackay CBD. Positive things are, friendly and very beautiful receptionist, restaurant, facilities, clean rooms, and European atmosphere. Negative things; - They close restaurant bit early. - Beds are nor so comfortable.

Went to Eungella National park I the hope of seeing a platypus. Broken River Eco resort is a few minutes away from the bridge, viewing platform, and rock pools. We saw platypus at all of these places everyday, morning and evening. It was amazing. The resort is very pleasant. Although the rooms are basic they have everything you need and... More

I organised a family reunion at the Resort. The staff were very accommodating before and throughout the Easter weekend. The cabins were clean and well presented with a range of configurations to suit families. The grounds were immaculate and there was plenty of space for the children to play and everyone to gather together. The Retreat is next to the... More

My wife and I stayed in a Cedar Lodge Style A room for two nights in March 2013, on the first night we were the only guests at the resort or so it seamed. That was amazing as it is a beautiful tropical location and not far to travel from the coast. We had seen Platypus before but not as... More

The journey up the hill alone and the accompanying views is good on it's own. Rooms are basic but functional and the surroundings tranquil. Breakfast is continental and a little basic. Short walk to the platypus viewing area and great free night time sootlight walk,

I have stayed at the eco-resort some eight times in the past 12 months and although there is little competition in the region, it is still by far the superior choice. Friendly, helpful staff, easy to book online, cosy accomodation, a two minute walk to see platypus, a gourmet restaurant on hand and wildlife at your doorstep,hiking trails to creeks... More

The weather was awful, but I did like it here, a very warm and cozy place, there is lots to do and I want to return. Great to see the platypus, kookaburras the possums, among other things.... :) lovely drive out from Mackay airport too. The staff were very nice, loved the accent of the woman who checked me in,...

We spent a week here, the place is clean, lovely, great sheets and blankets and gear, super food, perfect lovely hosts and staff, platypus in the pools daily. The hikes in Eungella are superb, nearby is Finch Hatton which is different and lovely too, with swimming. Susannas hideaway down the track has the amazing garden and sturdel. The views from... More
