Accommodation Choices at Undara Experience
A scenic 4 hour drive inland from the Great Barrier Reef coast brings you to the Undara Lava Lodge.
Neither hotel nor resort, Undara Experience is a wilderness experience totally in contrast to today’s modern accommodation.
Guests revisit a bygone era with authentic turn-of-the-century railway carriages that have been beautifully restored and now rest under tall shady gum trees alongside an old teamsters trail.
At night, a campfire crackles nearby - after dinner is the perfect time to take part in fireside tales and sing-a-longs. Each morning, you can enjoy a true Aussie breakfast surrounded by the birds and the bush at the Ringers’ Camp.
