Check Hotel/Lodge Availability

Wrotham Park Lodge - West of Cairns, Queensland

Highly Recommended

Wrotham Park Station, 300 kms west of Cairns, is a spectacular 600,000 hectare working cattle station where your experience combines the rich heritage of Australia's rural history and classic cattle station life with luxury accommodation and hosting.  Accommodation is in one of ten superbly appointed 'Quarters' that line the Mitchell River.

The décor is touched with the traditions of the landed gentry - leather arm chairs, shaded verandahs with day beds and a squatter’s chair. Naturally all Quarters have an en suite bathroom. The equally stylish communal lounge and dining facility is known as "The Homestead" and it too overlooks the Mitchell River. Here you will find a library, bar and swimming pool.

Guests have free rein to enjoy luxury nature walks, fishing, picnics, stargazing, mountain biking, cooking demonstrations, Bocce, interpretive cattle mustering and yard work viewing. Half day station tours, horse riding, quad biking, canoeing, and private half and full day 4WD and fishing tours are also available.

Accommodation

The Homestead : Emulating timber slab houses with wrap-around verandahs, the Homestead pays tribute to Queensland's outback architecture, its dining and living area, library and bar are styled on pioneer designs and furnishings - all with a modern twist. Features of the outdoor living area are the swimming pool and the oversized deck which is ideal for dusk drinks and wildlife watching. Comfortable lounge seating surrounds the cosmopolitan version of a camp-fire and the location is perfect for viewing brilliant red sunsets.
The stockman's quarters : The guest quarters offer comfort with touches of the landed gentry - leather arm chairs and bed bolsters, shaded verandahs with day beds and a squatters chair. With the giant waves of colour outside, in the classic big blue sky and red earth that characterise the outback, interior tones are muted, charcoal, earth and harvest.   Guest rooms feature air-conditioning, ceiling fan, CD player, binoculars, minibar and tea/coffee making facilities.

A total of 10 premium guest Quarters are situated along the escarpment with views overlooking the Mitchell River. In harmony with the outback environment, the guest Quarters are visually spectacular and generous in size, boasting a large deck for the ultimate enjoyment of the outback views. 

Dining

Excellent food, based on a modern interpretation of traditional country fare, a style of dining that echoes stockman on the muster gathered around the fire sharing stories and a meal. Station Managers join guests on some of the dinner-party style evenings. Local produce is highlighted throughout Wrotham's menu, including the world-renowned premium grade beef '1824' brand.
