Lumholtz Lodge

The house has a nice external environment and the kangaroos etc in the house are entertaining. The proper bathroom is downstairs away from your room. The owner/proprietor is not ideally suited for running a B&B: talkative, but doesn't listen and is very opinionated. Would definitely not stay again.

It is an amazing experience to visit this tranquil paradise. Margrite our host is such a dedicated animal rescuer. Usually orphaned baby wallabies or as l was fortunate to witness, feeding a baby echidna.Plenty to explore in the area too

Margit is an excellent host and a marvellous cook with german tradition. She showed us two tiny gliders the size of small finger tip, some school kids found, which she feed with a syringe.

This is one of the best bed and breakfasts we have ever stayed in across the world! Margit has a wonderfully friendly, interactive and completely non-intrusive to visitors. We were suprised to find that the property is exclusive use, so we were the only guests with exception to the tree kangaroos, possums, pademelons, echidna and many many birds! We absolutely loved our time at Lumholtz Lodge and can't wait to return.

Wonderful dedicated people of German descent caring for rare wildlife speak tree kangaroos etc. Guests get special attention and great introduction to Far North Queensland fauna and flora.

This is not only an experience.....but a total immersion into a wildlife and rain forest wonderland. No where else I have travelled of this sort of accommodation style can come close to matching Lumholtz Lodge. Margit's accommodation is five star, a totally refreshing, modern, colourful and immaculate but relaxing comfy house that becomes your home within minutes of meeting this truly amazing lady. The pictures and stories on her walls invite you into a world of inspiration, empathy, triumph and tribulation, and tell the story of her dedication to animals around the world and especially her last 40 years within the rain forests of far north Queensland. Margit caters to all, and you will leave her house feeling, informed and educated about all flora and fauna of the rain forest, especially her dedication to the Lumholtz Tree Kangaroo. The evening visits from the pademelon and possum and the awe inspiring array of parrots and birds in the morning sunlight create a photographers spectacular smorgasbord. And the food.......omg......to die for. I have never known such hospitality and dedication to the guest in such a relaxing and welcoming way. I recommend Margit's home and accomodation style to anyone, but especially those that want a total Australian experience like no other and a those looking for a naturalist, environmental, rain forest, flora and fauna and photographer's delight.....

Wonderful place, host very friendly and lot of wildlife around. They also rescue Tree roos so you can see them close and they jump on your shoulders too. Nelson is really friendly and so cute ! Thanks for helping these wonderful animals !You can see pademelons, kangaroo rats and lot of possums coming in the evening :)
