Tinaroo Haven Holiday Lodge

4 Star Australian AAA Rated

Lot 42 Wavell Dr, Tinaroo Waters, QLD, 4872

Overview

Lake Tinaroo has developed into one of the Shire's most popular tourist locations. It is a tourist spot that has so much to offer everyone so why not join us and at the same time, explore the Atherton Tablelands or simply relax in the tranquil surroundings.

Tinaroo Haven Holiday Lodge is located in the Cairns hinterland known as The Atherton Tablelands, just over an hours drive from Cairns in Tropical North Queensland, Australia, the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef.

We are situated 200 metres from lake Tinaroo, an area famed for all year round Barramundi fishing as well as water sports. Although we are situated 200 metres from the lake, views of the lake have been obscured by the forest growth which surrounds the property. The nearest boat ramp is approximately 1km (drive) from the property.

Tinaroo Haven Holiday lodge is centrally located and consists of a high level pole house (Al's look-out) and a timber home (Percys Hide-Away). The two houses, although next door to each other, are separated by a covered walkway and each have their own private entrances, verandahs and entertainment areas. The property has been designed to provide views of the surrounding mountains, and is hidden away in a secluded area of 2.5 acres of native bushland. The accommodation is fully self contained with all amenities and is suitable for single families, couples or large groups.
