Far from the madding crowd
Wonderful place to retreat for a few days with beautiful walks on the property through tropical forest. If you like nature and seclusion this is the place for you. The rooms are well maintained, clean and comfortable with all the amenaties needed for self catering. There is however, no Wifi access in the room and telephone coverage is poor; so I would not recomend this for someone who needs to stay connected. Otherwise, no complaints and an enjoyable stay.

Amazing family stay!
We stayed in a 2 bedroom villa treehouse for 2 nights. The treehouse was amazingly clean and very well equipped. We loved the breakfast hamper that was provided. We made sure to bring enough food and drinks to cover our stay for lunch and dinner as we were quite a long way from restaurants. David was very helpful and full of knowledge about places to visit. We were very secluded and private even though there were a number of treehouses on the property. It was lovely to wake to the sounds of birds in the mornings. Even though there was no air conditioning the treehouse was cool and comfortable on very hot days, we all slept very well.

Really beautiful views. Very private and secluded. We also enjoyed feeding the birds and musky-rat kangaroos at 8:30am. We stuck around a little longer and had a visit by a juvenile cassowary.

Great place to stay for holidays. In the cabin we stayed the bush outside the balcony was so wildly overgrown that was hard to appreciate everything else. There was deadbush on top of overgrown weed. Everything else was exceptional

Beautiful tree change
The Manager David was excellent and very helpful. He made you feel welcome and had helpful info for the stay. We had 3 bedroom villa and it was perfect. Very spacious, clean and beautiful surrounds. It is very private and you cannot see any other villas. A great breakfast hamper was provided. Unfortunately we didn't get to do any hiking. Would recommend for those looking to escape. Great stay.

Stunning experience
Beautiful cabin overlooking rainforest. Clean and comfortable. Beautiful walks through rainforest. We saw a cassowary on the property and a tree kangaroo at nearby Nerada Tea Plantation where we had an excellent morning tea.

What a wonderful location for a cosy getaway! The cabin was so spacious and the view was gorgeous from the balcony and the bath inside the cabin. Being surrounded by the rainforest and listening to all the birds was incredible. Fireplace a bonus too for a cosy night in.

Fantastic jungle setting, super relaxing. Could use more comfortable seating on the decks, if you could lay back and relax you wouldn't leave the decks the surrounding jungle is that good The elephant grass is starting to get out of hand but would recommend Rose Gums to everyone. We'll be back and friends are already looking to go there.

The host was friendly and informative and contacted me before arriving on how to check in, due to covid. The wifi was only available while standing or sitting outside of reception and not on the bird feeding side of the building. Given that several of the treehouses aren't close to reception it would make it a bit of a problem to get a connection. Wifi should be available at the treehouses. AC wouldn't go astray as it can be a bit uncomfortable to sleep at night. Yes there were a couple of fans, but at night with them on became to tad noisy. Overall it is a great place to unwind and relax.

wonderful place to stay
Beautiful relaxing stay in the forest, gorgeous natural timber modern cabin with view over the valley. Even though it was raining we still saw some wild life and the views of the rain and lightning added to the cosy feeling. The in room facilities were great and the provided first day breakfast was very generous. Thank you for a delightful experience.

Delightful Rose Gums....
We are so pleased we chose Rose Gums, what a delightful place, so peaceful and secluded. We were concerned that we might have difficulty finding our way as we arrived after dark but iPhone map directions took us right there without any problem. The tree houses are fabulous with every comfort provided. We didn't manage to empty the very generous breakfast welcome basket, even though we decided to extend our stay an extra night in preference to spending that time at the coast. Peta's very interesting morning talk on the parrots and Musky Rat Kangaroos that visit should not be missed. We also highly recommend the on site restaurant where we enjoyed two excellent dinners. There are many places to visit and wildlife to seek out in the surrounding area, the owners, Peta & Jon, are a mine of information and never tired of making suggestions and providing directions with lots of very useful maps!

Tranquil rainforest paradise
Lovely, quiet and peaceful. The tree houses are a good distance away from each other with thick forest in between, guaranteeing privacy. Lots of good bushwalking trails - the creek trail can get a bit tricky and there are leeches near the water. The giant rose gums were awesome! Treehouses are nice with a beautiful spa overlooking the forest and valley. Only complaint is that our stay was too short.

Wonderful stay at Rose Gums
We wanted two days in the Tablelands and Rose Gums is an ideal location. The accommodation is fantastic, being a tree house design with no others nearby. Our meal in the restaurant was excellent, chef Bradley is very good.

A peaceful retreat
If you're looking to get away from it all, I'd definitely recommend this place. From your tree house, all you can hear are the sounds of nature. We didn't even realise there were people staying in the house next door until we saw them at dinner. The restaurant is very good, though not cheap.

Nice but pricey
House large and comfortable. In very grown trees so no real views. Whilst downstairs was clean, upstairs had not been cleaned properly (may be it had not been used for a while). Whilst it was nice it was not quite the luxury treehouse (house in the trees) we expected for the high price paid. Staff were extremely helpful. . 2 bedrooms are not really that as the upstairs is an open floor. Ok for family with our children but may not be so convenient for friends together. Interesting property, Lovely grounds. Watch out for the leeches on the walks but they are lovely walks. I would stay herre again if I could find any deals.
