Hinchinbrook Island Resort is the perfect base to experience all that this pristine wilderness has to offer.

All accommodation at the Resort is designed to blend in with the outstanding, natural tropical landscape. From the water, apart from the necessary landing pontoon, only a very keen eye can pick any sign of this luxury eco-resort nestled amongst the rainforest overlooking Orchid Beach.

The Lodge:
The main lodge is the centre for all activities. It has been beautifully designed in an islander style to take advantage of the tropical surrounds. The open plan timber pole construction contains the reception area, lounge, licensed bar, dining area, and upstairs an air-conditioned entertainment room with TV, library and board games.

The Lodge is surrounded with landscaped tropical gardens, timber decking around the inground pool, with easy access to the beautiful Orchid Beach.

THE TREE HOUSES:
The Tree Houses are nestled in the rainforest, connecting by winding timber boardwalks. Each Tree House is designed to be as unobtrusive as possible to the surrounding environment. They are modern, spacious and elegantly furnished with private balconies, providing spectacular views of close islands and the Coral Sea.

Each Tree House features it's own timber patio, fridge, coffee/tea making facilities, lounge room, bathroom and are serviced daily. To maximise your holiday in splendid isolation the tree houses are not equipped with telephones or televison.

THE BEACH CABINS
The self-contained Cabins are separately located and are renovated, but older style accommodation units located behind the beach.
Linen is provided.

The cabins have basic cooking facilities: mini fridge, electric jug, electric fry pan, toaster, microwave and sink. There is also a free of charge BBQ a small walk away.
