- "What a beautiful gem. Lovely property set on several acres of lovely gardens and rainforest. So quiet and peaceful. Also a lovely part of the Atherton Ranges, close to Mareeba and Kuranda. House was comfortable with everything you would need. We will return." - "Peace, perfect peace in a lovely garden setting. The house is welcoming, very comfortable and comprehensively equipped. Our holiday was for our elderly dog’s sake as much as ours, and I don’t think that she would have found a better home away from home anywhere. Melissa and Warren are unobtrusive when they’re not helping guests, but immediately responsive when help or advice is needed. Speewah is a little hidden gem off the Kennedy Highway. It is a great location as a base for both the Tablelands in one direction, and Cairns northern beaches and airport in the other. A proper community too, with a little convenience store attached to a friendly pub with a pretty good menu. When you’re out walking (you should get out walking, the area is beautiful), the locals will stop to chat. We told Warren that we’re not leaving, he’ll have to change the locks 😊 I’m afraid that Real Life(™) gets in the way, but it’s that sort of place, you won’t want to leave. Write a comment…"

The creek, rainforest and neighbourhood is a birdwatchers dream, peaceful and off the main tourist track. Will definitely visit again!" - "Lovely experience for the kids to see pademelons and river turtles in their natural habitat. Catherine was very welcoming" - "We had a very comfortable and relaxing stay at Catherine's accommodation. Very much enjoyed the privacy and quietness yet not too far from Kuranda and Cairns. The sound of the running river was nice and having that so close to the accommodation was a treat. We enjoyed sitting there by the river and taking it in, very beautiful. Lots of wildlife. The accommodation is basic but very comfortable, well presented and all that we needed. Comfy beds and nice hot shower. Catherine is super helpful and not too far away if help is needed. Would definitely recommend, especially to anyone that wants to get away from crowds and likes to be surrounded by nature. Thanks so much Catherine, we loved it!"

Set on 40 acres at the end of a country road in Kairi, Longhorn Lodges is the perfect place for your next getaway.
With only two lodges and the main house on the property, you'll enjoy the private and peaceful nature of this boutique farmstay.
The grassy paddocks are used exclusively for our prized Longhorn cattle and other farm animals (goats, sheep, pigs, pony, chickens).
We also provide a free animal food hamper with each booking, so you can feed all the different farm animals at your leisure!
With plenty to do and see, you can choose to make your stay as relaxing or as action-packed as you like.
A private fire pit and bag of fire wood are also included in your booking.
The two lodges, 'Wallaby Way' and 'Longhorn Lookout' are both situated in prime positions to take in the views of the property and enjoy a break from reality.
These two-bedroom cottages are cosy yet spacious enough for four people to enjoy. A private fire pit and bag of fire wood are sure to add to the experience.
With Longhorn cattle, goats, sheep, pigs, a miniature pony, chickens and guinea fowl, there is plenty to keep any animal-lover bursting with joy.
Whether you like to get up close and personal with the animals or prefer to watch them graze from the comfort of your verandah, there’s an option for everyone.
Featuring exposed timber battens, sloped ceilings and an inviting verandah, the lodges have a welcoming and homey feel.
Whether you’re visiting during the hot Summer months or cooler Winter period, the reverse-cycle air-conditioning in the lounge and main bedroom will keep you feeling comfortable at all times.
Fun for kids, relaxing for adults. You’ll feel right at home in our cosy lodges.
Keep the kids entertained for HOURS with self-paced animal feeding, fishing and exploring.
