Frommer's Review
Relax in the hammock on your veranda and listen to the waters of the Mossman River gushing through the rainforest. Stroll down for a swim -- no crocs here. Despite its popularity, this luxury resort tucked away at the edge of cane fields exudes a restful feeling. Treehouses are scattered through the rainforest and gardens, each in its own private part of the gardens and rainforest; the five Riverhouses overlook the river frontage, and all have Jacuzzis. Each unit has timber floors, attractive furnishings, a king-size bed, bathrobes, a CD player -- but no TV -- and a double hammock. The resort's most recent renovation included the addition of the Healing Waters Day Spa, where I had the best facial of my life. The spa has since tripled in size (no doubt word of how good it is has got out), and the central lodge and Treehouse Restaurant have a fresh, contemporary new look. Rates include guided nature walks, tennis, mountain bikes, and kayaking or snorkeling in the Mossman River, and there is a daily activities program. To reach Mossman Gorge's lovely walking trails, across the river, you'll need a car.
