Barking Owl Retreat

Barking Owl Retreat has two private luxury fully self contained cottages on 41 acres tucked away in a secluded valley at the end of a country road. Just over an hours drive from the Cairns Airport, yet nestled among the natural wonders of the Atherton Tablelands. Wake up to birdsong and the smell of fresh country air, see the Kangaroos playing and the cattle grazing, drop a line in the private dam - catch a Sooty Grunter or two. Soak in the double spa (Dingo’s Lair) or spoil yourself by indulging in a traditional Hawaiian Temple Style Massage in the privacy of your own cottage.
Location: Atherton Tablelands, Cairns Highlands, Tropical Far North Queensland, Australia — http://www.barkingowlretreat.com.au
