A really fabulous location! The Broken River tracks (and platypus viewing areas) are literally a 5-min walk from the cabins. Cabins are dated in their decor but clean and spacious.

We really liked the seclusion and tranquility of the resort and its closeness to nature. Especially the easy opportunities to see platypus in the wild. The staff was friendly and efficient. Will visit again sometime.

Location cannot be beaten and staff were very good. Eco-credentials did mean no air-conditioning (not great when visiting during a heatwave) and coffee was only International Roast. Washing up liquid and tea towel provided, but no plug for the sink?

The property was super close to the platypus viewing platforms. Beautiful grounds. The whole barramundi fish dinner was fantastic. The room interiors are a little dated but the room was clean and comfortable.

Generally quite a nice resort. Location is nice, the property is showing signs of age. Staff were friendly and especially liked the wood fire and fresh wood supplied each night. A shame the local store has closed and no mobile coverage and no petrol. Great that resort advised prior to arrival.

Wendy and the entire team were lovely and took very good care of us during our stay. Dinner cooked by Chef Joe was delicious, served in a beautiful woodland style restaurant area. The perfect place to enjoy a meal after getting to see 3-4 platypus for the first time! Thankyou very much to Wendy, Joe and the Team for a lovely stay!

The best place to stay if you want to see platypuses in the wild. It was an amazing experience. The key to multiple sightings was being still and quiet!

Our room was warm with an oil heater and use of a laundry was a bonus. The bed was comfortable but had to wipe down the wall near the fridge as it was dirty and the microwave hadn’t be wiped out. Was great to walk to view platypus and would stay again. Dinner in the restaurant was good home cooked meal and other dinners were very friendly.

Quiet and peaceful stay in the mountains. Short walk to view platypus and turtles. Short drive from the chalet for dinner and eden hills cafe for a nice coffee or lunch. Room was clean and cosy with electric frypan, jug, toaster and microwave.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Broken River Mountain Resort. It's nestled within the beautiful Eungella National Park, surrounded by abundant wildlife and pristine nature. The best part was the minute's walk to the creek to spot wild platypuses in their natural habitat. The complimentary guided night tour was also a highlight, adding to the overall experience. This place is truly a gem for nature lovers.

Loved the location. Loved the wild life. Walks were great. Accommodations were simplistic and need better sound proofing between rooms. Taps dripped . Staff was friendly and very informative. Had a great stay!

Good hotel to see the platypus and rainforest, very clean and good room facilities (fridge, microwave, toaster, sink etc). Staff very nice and helpful although reception only open until 5pm which is a bit early to close! Food only takeaway and only at 6pm and not good for vegetarian. Overall good stay :)

The area is beautiful and the National park is well signed. The cabin was chilly but there was an electric radiator.
No food available from the restaurant but food could be ordered by 4pm to be collected at 6pm. The meals were very good.

A beautiful location. The cabin was very clean and with plenty of room. The bed was comfortable. Self-catering was easy. Firewood was offered for a wood heater, but the reverse cycle air conditioner was sufficient to warm the cabin.. Many forest walks were available. Platypus were seen in the river. Would go again.

Great choice
Enjoyed our stay. The room was clean and satisfactory - matching the advertised property pictures - ie it’s a bit dated, but everything was clean and in working condition - and the price was good. The location is great, and we saw many platypus within 15 min walk along the Broken River. We ordered one meal (only takeout was available) from the kitchen and it was pretty average. A really nice lady runs the place and she was very helpful.
