Holiday house

Kuranda Villas is the only fully self-contained holiday accommodation in the heart of the village of Kuranda making it an ideal location for single travellers, couples, families or friends.

Centrally located at 12 Barang Street, Kuranda Villas is within walking distance of all the attractions within the village of Kuranda.

There are so many exciting attractions to experience in Kuranda and on the Atherton Tableland that it makes sense to spend a few days enjoying life in this glorious part of the world.

Since June 2009 we have had a rainforest tree planted for every confirmed booking we receive as a way of reducing our carbon footprint.

Villa 2 has three bedrooms and is comfortable, fully furnished and self-contained.

At Christmas there is a decorated tree in the villa to put presents around.

Electric blankets are supplied in the cooler months of the year, if required, and a heater is located in the lounge/dining room. Ceiling fans are located throughout the villa.

There is a full kitchen with all the necessary crockery, cutlery, cooking utensils and pots and pans. We supply some basic provisions for your comfort and to help you settle in on your arrival, such as extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt & pepper, sugar, locally grown Nerada tea and locally grown and roasted coffee from the Kuranda Coffee Republic. Complimentary Port is provided.

A compost bin is provided for disposing of fruit and vegetable matter, egg shells, tea bags and coffee grounds.

There is a TV and DVD player, as well as a CD/radio system.

There is a patio with BBQ and outdoor table and chairs in a private garden. There is also an aluminium can crusher on the wall outside the back door so that we can recycle the aluminium cans.

There is a safe covered parking area and there are security screens on the windows and doors.

What a beautiful part of the world. Kuranda Villas was the ideal home base for our 14 day stay, exploring the local area and beyond. Thoroughly impressed with the beautifully presented accommodation - clean, comfortable and very welcoming. Thank you, it has been a such a delightful stay.
