Nestled at the northern end of a lush Far North Queensland tropical valley, Tranquilla at the Botanical Ark is surrounded by World famous botanical gardens. Where you can be at one with nature, this romantic hideaway is ideal for candlelit dinners under the stars, whilst indulging on fresh fruits picked from the adjoining orchards.
Welcome
An entrance through acres of gardens, past a bouldered creek that flows year round, this is an experience for all your senses. In front of the home is a natural, freshwater 25 meter water course with your own private beach for sunbathing on. Its clean and safe to swim all year round and its source is the spectacular Whyanbeel waterfall.
