The small Village of Yungaburra contains many small boutique shops with original artefacts and creations.

William’s Lodge Boutique Accommodation is positioned right in the heart of Yungaburra close to several souvenir and gift shops, the classic Yungaburra Pub and the tasty Nick’s Swiss Restaurant. Also nearby there is a platypus viewing area, the Curtain and Cathedral Fig Tree and the Volcanic lakes, Lake Eacham and Lake Barine. Lake Tinaroo, a water sport enthusiast’s haven, is also nearby William’s Lodge. A short drive away you will find the stunning waterfall circuit, Mungalli Creek Organic Dairy Farm, Skybury Coffee, Mango Drop Winery and plenty more attractions. Cairns and the Great Barrier Reef are only 60 minutes away and World Heritage Listed Rainforest surrounds you.

Yungaburra is situated in the heart of the Atherton Tablelands (also called the Cairns Highlands) and has remained relatively unchanged since the early 1900’s. This characteristic old town which has the largest collection of National Trust buildings in Queensland (18 to be exact) offers guests a unique holiday experience. The shops and pubs are the absolute original buildings with wide verandas and original pioneering construction techniques evident all around Yungaburra. The beautiful natural environment is a result of violent volcanic activity dating back hundreds of millions of years ago. The most recent volcanic eruption on the Atherton Tablelands was 10,000 years ago and although these geological monuments lie dormant, they still contribute to the stunningly unique landscapes that surround Williams Lodge Boutique Holiday Accommodation. Williams Lodge Boutique Accommodation offers wonderful views of the volcanic seven sisters and Mt.Quincan as well as the unique native vegetation that lives in this thriving location.

William Lodge History

Williams Lodge is a heritage listed property that was first purchased in 1896 by Henry Sydney Williams. During WWII Williams Lodge became Yungaburra’s social club and turned into a lively house equipped with a dance floor providing much entertainment for over 120,000 troops who were stationed in the region. In 2002 William’s Lodge underwent massive restorative renovations which saw it collect distinguishable rewards such as, “ Best Project in North Queensland,” “Best Restoration of a Heritage Building in Queensland” and “ Best Landscape” in the Queensland Master Builder Awards. Williams Lodge Boutique Accommodation is also a member of the prestigious Small Elegant Hotels of the World Collection and is a cherished gem in the community of Yungaburra Township.

Location

William’s Lodge Boutique Holiday Accommodation is located on the main street of Yungburra. Yungaburra is one hour from Cairns if you take the southern Gillies highway alternatively if you take the northern Kuranda range it will take one and a half hours. The Kuranda range is probably the most popular as this road is not as long and windy as the Gillies Highway.
