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.

Villa 1 has two bedrooms and is comfortable, fully furnished and self-contained.

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

Ceiling fans are located throughout the villa.

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

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 micro system for iPod.

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.

What a privilege to have stayed in your lovely villa and explore this fantastic area. Hopes and prayers to return in the not too distant future.

Sylvia & Maria, UK, October 2009

Dear Melissa, We came by train and arrived in paradise! What a beautiful villa you have here. Close to the village centre, but just far enough to be really quiet and tucked away. We enjoyed our stay and will recommend your place to everyone we meet!

Information

With our desire to give something back to the environment, we have purchased rainforest trees from Curlew Nursery at Koah. For every confirmed booking for Kuranda Villas from 1st June 2009 the Koah Revegetation Group will plant a tree for us along the Clohesy and Barron Rivers to stabilise the river banks. The plantings will take place in the "wet season" when the rainfall is plentiful. Guests who live in the rainforested regions of Far North and North Queensland have the choice of picking a species of tree from Curlew Nursery's plant list to take home with them to plant in their garden, if they prefer. Guests can also choose to purchase trees for planting by the Koah Revegetation Group or to take home at a cost of $2.50 per tree.

Barron Gorge National Park offers a network of walking tracks ranging from short walks to longer day walks. Mountain biking is allowed in the Kuranda and Mowbray National Parks and no permit is required.

We have standard and tandem mountain bikes for hire from $10.00 for 2 hours, which can be booked prior to arrival. The price includes a helmet and lock.

Kuranda

The village is located in the rainforest 330 metres above sea level in the Cairns Highlands. The climate is cooler and much less humid than on the coast and just 30 km from Cairns up the scenic Kuranda Range Road with views overlooking the Great Barrier Reef.

Kuranda was founded in 1876 and inhabited by the Djabugay aboriginal people. Tourism began in the area at the beginning of the twentieth century and became very popular in the 1960's with the "hippie" generation for it offered a fabulous location for their alternative lifestyle.

Kuranda is surrounded by World Heritage listed wet tropics rainforest with approximately 1,200 species of flowering plants, 800 of which are rainforest trees. There are over 430 bird species in the Wet Tropics and the Great Barrier Reef, which makes Kuranda Villas the perfect base for birdwatching and wildlife tours in the area.
