Neverland - The Stoney Creek Treehouse

Summary:
Welcome to Neverland. A two storey treehouse set in the rainforest canopy just minutes away from the iconic Stoney Creek Falls and famous Glacier Rock walking track.

Take a dip in one of Stoney Creek's many watering holes, hike up to the top of glacier rock, or simply kick back on the huge verandah and busy yourself with a good book whist submersed in World Heritage Subtropical Rainforest.

Please bear in mind that this is a rainforest listing, so you are likely to encounter some wildlife.

The Space:
Treehouse is made up of two floors. The main, upper floor consists of two bedrooms, main living space, kitchen and bathroom with separate toilet. The lower floor has a large, open plan studio with its own bathroom and small kitchenette area. Both bathrooms and the main kitchen have both just undergone a complete renovation.

The Neighborhood:
The great thing about Stoney Creek Falls Cairns is that there is a deep, swimming hole just minutes from the car park. To get here, cross the concrete footbridge and take the left track at the fork immediately after. Alternatively, you can also cross underneath the bridge and follow the shallow creek for about 3 minutes to the waterhole.

The swimming hole is wide and roughly 2 metres deep in the deepest section.
Although this is a great spot to swim and cool off, it can get very busy in summer, especially on weekends. Consider visiting early or on weekdays to avoid the crowds.

THE STONEY CREEK WALKING TRACK TO OLD WEIR FALLS

If the swimming hole is crowded, or you’d prefer a short hike to a larger, more secluded waterfall, then take the walking track to Old Weir Falls. This is accessed by taking the straight track from the footbridge fork leading up a wide, dirt track.

This track is the Stoney Creek Walking track, which after about 20-minutes reaches Old Weir Falls. This track follows the creek up the side of a rounded hill and finishes just above the waterfall.

There is a large fallen tree that rests just above the waterfall, framing it nicely. Old Weir waterfall itself cascades roughly 8 metres down a rocky face onto a sand-lined shore.

Although the water isn’t as deep here, it’s still a great place to cool down and enjoy the serenity. There is also a deeper swimming hole just above Old Weir, and a few more spots scattered along the track.

Getting Around:
The biggest attraction to this accomodation is definitely the closer proximity to Stoney Creek Falls, as well as the walking tracks that come with it. It truly is a nature lovers paradise. You can stroll down to the start of the waterfalls in just a few minutes.
Public transport is a little tricky from this location, with the nearest bus stop being a 30 minute walk, so the best way to travel around Cairns is by car, to nip in and out of town, as well as to see the best the city has to offer.
Despite being secluded in lush rainforest, you also have Redlynch central shopping centre, just a few minutes drive from your accomodation. Here you will find Coles, a bottle shop, pharmacy, newsagents, as well as restaurants and fast food outlets.
