Description from owner

Description

Honeybee House is an air-conditioned fully furnished and self-contained two bedroom house on 5 acres of tropical gardens and rainforest.

There is an Australian queen size bed (153 cm x 203 cm) in each bedroom.

There is a WiFi internet. A security bond of $400.00 is required, which is refunded, once the property has been checked for damage.

A convenience store and fuel station is located just 4 km from Honeybee House at the Speewah Tavern complex, which also has a swimming pool for patrons to use. Kuranda has a public swimming pool too.

Honeybee House is situated just 9 km from Kuranda with all its attractions.

We also own the Kuranda Riverboat and would be delighted to welcome you on any of our cruises on the Barron River in Kuranda.

Cairns is just 37 km from Honeybee House, so, you've not got far to go to Cairns to hop on a boat for the day to visit the Great Barrier Reef.

Honeybee House is a great choice for those seeking a quiet retreat for their holiday.
