Hinchinbrook Island Wilderness Lodge

Hinchinbrook is Australia's largest island National Park, surrounded by the World Heritage Great Barrier Reef, and is home to a secluded and intimate island holiday resort. Hinchinbrook Island Wilderness Lodge at Cape Richards is the island's only settlement, offering guests a choice of accommodation in spacious crafted timber 'treehouses' that are accessed by a meandering timber boardwalk or Beach Cabins that are separately located and are older style accommodation units located behind the beach.

From the resort guests can go bushwalking, fishing, snorkeling, swimming, take day cruises, do a bit of bird watching or just lay back in a hammock and soak up the surrounding unspoiled rainforest or secluded golden sand beaches. The island is home to graceful herons, sea turtles, a myriad of colourful fish and the extraordinary dugong (sea cows, up to 3 metres in length).

Hinchinbrook Island Wilderness Lodge is the perfect base to experience all that this pristine wilderness has to offer on your next holiday to North Queensland.
