|We recently spent two nights at Adjinbilly Rainforest Retreat in the Condamine Gorge, in the Ruby cabin. Both my partner and I had long been curious to see what lay within this magical part of our Scenic Rim. We were not disappointed. From the outset, Tony and Sue were very responsive when setting up the booking and made the whole process very easy, working with my partner to ensure our 10th anniversary would be very memorable. On the morning of our arrival, Tony called us to check we knew the road conditions and the best route to take. The many creek crossings of the Condamine River as you come through the Gorge piqued our excitement and set the scene for a beautiful romantic getaway. Upon our arrival, we were warmly welcomed by Tony at the office and shown to Ruby, our little cabin that was perched atop the cascades. His attention to detail and service were first rate, providing very generous breakfast provisions of local meat, bacon, eggs, vine tomatoes, bread and butter. A quick tour of the cabin and pertinent explanations of its workings assured us it was very well equipped and everything had been thought of. Such a diverse abundance of wildlife: beautiful King parrots are your constant companion at the cabin, with visits from an exquisite Black Mountain Possum (we had never seen one of these before) and so many other amazing birds and critters. As we walked through rainforest tracks that abound on the property, there was a surprise at every turn. Magical garden settings,including at the cascades, and an incredibly well-equipped outdoor BBQ and communal fire pit with plenty of tables and chairs, provided great backdrops for our romantic anniversary dinner. The breakfast provisions turned out to be truly memorable as the meats and bacon were so flavoursome. The alternate power sources of hydro, gas and solar provided excellent hot showers, a luxurious bath, and the 12 volt lighting created a wonderful ambience at the cabin in the evening. We highly recommend this beautiful property. Such a unique experience. Thank you so much...

Read moreHighly recommend! We visited Adjinbilly Retreat for 2 magical nights of bliss with our children. The children absolutely loved sleeping in the loft. How exciting for them to go to bed via ladder and having the beautiful king parrots visit by starring through the glass In the morning. We loved the NO electronics (phone/internet) and the complete “get back to nature” and our forced and very welcomed relaxation. Tony and Sue made our stay very comfortable, informative and thoroughly enjoyable. From the fantastic platypus tour where we were all dazzled with the presence of numerous platypus in their natural environment, and then furthering our knowledge of platypus by watching a movie around the campfire. We loved the seclusion of feeling like we were the only ones on the property. The private hammocks over the creek were an absolute treat as were the various walking tracks through the rainforest. If you love birds, then bring the camera and binoculars. You’ll be rewarded. We can’t wait to visit again. The only negative for us is having to leave far too early. We could have easily have stayed a week. So much to do, so much to explore, and not...
