Melissa we loved our stay in Kuranda. The Skyrail was amazing and the villa was so nice to come back and relax in after our days touring around. It's such a cosy place to stay and the extra touches you add to the villa to make it welcoming are much appreciated. The roses are beautiful. Thank you we will come back again.

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.
