Sweetwater Lodge

I can't overstate how lovely this place is. It was the last stop of a long and somewhat arduous trip. It was absolutely perfect in every way. Comfortable, quiet, beautiful inside and out. Every detail has been thought of. We loved the enormous rainhead shower with great water pressure. There is a jetted tub! The enclosed outdoor kitchen was well-equipped. The furnishings were so comfortable. We loved being able to see a platypus in a stream just a very short walk from our cabin, seated on the nearby viewing platform. We truly appreciated the immense effort Wendy and Glenn have made to restore the native habitat. Wendy was very patient and accomodating about our several schedule changes and about logistical challenges making the payment.

What a wonderful place this is and so pleased we stayed here rather than in Port Douglas. So tranquil and private. Comfortable bed, best shower ever and a kitchen that made cooking preferable to going out. Birds, trees,walks and what lovely hosts Glen and Wendy are… anyone that plants so many trees for the benefit of wildlife have to be fabulous. Quite the best stay we have had the fortune of experiencing.

Absolutely beautiful place to stay in a gorgeous part of the world. We spent 6 glorious nights there. We saw lots of birds around the property and even more on our day out with Doug Herrington, bird guide, organised by Wendy. If you enjoy birds and nature, you will love this place. We'll be back.
