The Tropical Flower Lodge sits at the foothills of Mt Bartle Frere, surrounded by lush rainforest and vibrant tropical gardens. Our property is also a working flower farm, home to a wide variety of Heliconias and Gingers.
The lodge is completely self‑sustaining. Fresh spring water flows though the property a gravity‑fed system, our on‑site waterfall generates clean hydroelectric power. Guests often tell us it feels like staying in a hidden, eco‑friendly sanctuary where nature does all the work.

Why they chose this property
🌿 The Surrounding Area Just 20 minutes from the property lies the township of Babinda, a small and Babinda community is surrounded by rainforest, rivers, and mountain views. The town has a relaxed, local feel and is known for its friendly atmosphere and classic country‑town charm.
🏞️ Nature and Local Character Babinda sits at the base of Queensland’s two highest mountains, which means the landscape is lush, green, and dramatic. The region is famous for its rainfall, which keeps the creeks flowing and the rainforest thriving.
🛍️ Local Amenities While Babinda is small, it has everything you need for a comfortable stay. You’ll find:
A supermarket and grocery store for essentials
A well‑loved local bakery
A main street with classic Queensland charm
It’s an easy place to stop in, grab supplies, enjoy a bite, and experience a bit of local life before heading back to the quiet of the lodge.
What makes this property unique
The Guest House is a beautifully restored historic Queenslander that originally served as the local schoolhouse. Its classic timber architecture, high ceilings, and airy layout give it a relaxed, welcoming feel, while the refurbishment has kept all the charm of the original building.
The home opens onto a wide balcony with sweeping views of the farm and surrounding mountains, creating a peaceful spot to unwind, enjoying a meal, or simply take in the changing light throughout the day.
Inside, the house is spacious and comfortable. There are two bedrooms, each with a queen bed, along with two double sofa beds — one in the sunroom and one in the lounge room — allowing up to eight guests to stay comfortably. The layout makes it ideal for romantic weekend away, or family holidays, couples travelling together, or groups wanting a cozy base surrounded by nature.
