Gumtree on Gillies B&B Style of Rooms

Themed bed and breakfast accommodation doesn’t get any more romantic or exotic than this. If the romance doesn’t spark from the seclusion and privacy of the Australian bush, head towards the double spa bath. Fill it with bubbles and warm water and you’ll feel more relaxed than you have for years. If that doesn’t work, lay down on the king sized bed adored with African or Moroccan artifacts, and drift to another world. When the temperature drops during the evening, curl up in front of the open fireplace and soak up the warmth of the gentle flames. Feeling hungry? Make a quick journey into beautiful Yungaburra Village and dine on world-class food at the best quaint restaurants or the local hotel where you can mix with the locals or tour groups on the Atherton Tablelands.
