Forest Lodge Apartment This self-contained apartment in a lush tropical setting is part of a house but totally separated with its own private lockable entrance. The apartment has its own terrace and access to a back yard, beautiful gardens and Bali-style gazebo shared with the owners. The Forest Lodge Apartment is just metres away from riparian rainforest which you can discover. There is a wide variety of birds and you might even see some of the native wildlife. As we are Wildlife Carers you might have the chance to see some of Australia's nocturnal wildlife in the huge aviaries where the animals can exercise as preparation for release. Forest Lodge is a peaceful oasis only 15 minutes from the pristine beaches of Agnes Water and the Town of 1770 on Queensland's east coast where the Great Barrier Reef begins. Here you can book a trip to the Great Barrier Reef, a ride on the LARC to nearby sand dunes and lighthouse, visit the museum, or just enjoy yourself on the beaches or in one of the cafes and restaurants.

We are wildlife carers for the last 25 years. We look after orphaned and injured animals (mainly Gliders) and raise them to be released back into the wild. We are lucky to live on a relatively large property with natural bushland and forests which allows us to (soft) release the animals here. We have created and designed our own space from the gardens to the house and like to get our hands dirty with gardening and building.

Rainforest, creeks, billabongs, birds and Australian wildlife - a tropical paradise. And only 15 minutes away stunning beaches from tranquil coves, long stretches of white sand, surf and a patrolled beach for safety. Agnes Water and the Town of 1770 are access points to the Great Barrier Reef with daily services to Lady Musgrave Island.
