ok, it's not the Mirage or the Hyatt but seriously, at this price you can't even get a decent meal in Airlie beach so I was overwhelmed with the bargain price of $59.00 in a private room. I will be honest...If I am staying in a hotel, I always stay in 4 to 5 star properties only because there is... More

Absolutely love this place, clean rooms with great air con, nice pool with several fully equipped kitchen areas. The owners (Shirley and Bruce) are the nicest, friendliest, helpful couple made our stay here great, we've been here 2 months while working on a local farm to get our 2nd year visa (we're english backpackers) for the same price as staying...

Hosts Bruce & Shirley Manners are warm welcoming people. Resort is set amounts a rainforest style setting. Accommodation is comfortable, clean and peaceful. Pool, BBQ areas and camp kitchens are well maintained and very servicable. Night time sees natural local wildlife such as green tree frogs, bilby,s and Bush Turkeys freely strolling around the park. Very close to town. A... More

We spent a week in one of kipara's private rooms at a bargain price of $245, they had a rate of $195 with a minimum stay of 2 weeks, we weren't sure how long we'd be staying for so they agreed to deduct the $50 off our initial payment if we decided to stay longer. The rooms are clean, ensuite... More

When we arrived, the friendly and helpful attitude of the... More

Really enjoyed our stay at Kipara Tropical Rainforest Retreat, the villa was perfect had everything we had hoped for and we managed to not get cabin fever even with 5 people in the room. The staff were so helpful and accommodating we originally booked for 4 people over new years 2012/2013 but last minute we had a friend travel from... More

Thank you Bruce and Shirley, I work in the industry in Airlie and required somewhere to stay whilst waiting on my long term accommodation to become available. I found what was on offer to be affordable very clean and comfortable. Kipara has the benefit of being located in a lovely setting and I found my stay to be peaceful and... More

Right time to pay it back and then some...if you're staying in Airlie beach then look no further than Kapari rainforest retreat. Perfect for a couple or if you're on your own. Great if you're on a budget $59 AUD per night for an ensuite double room and if you stayed for extended periods that rate would reduce too! The... More
