We stayed at Kinrara for 4 nights in September and it was an amazing experience. The site is on the edge of a lake with abundant bird wildlife, the tents are very comfortable with picture perfect views of the lake. The toilets and showers are fantastic, clean and there is plenty of hot water. The activities were fun for us adults and our kids (there were a few complaints when walking in long grass but nothing a piggyback ride couldn't cure). So that alone would score Kinrara 5 stars, but what made our experience at Kinrara next level was the team working there. Paddy our all knowledgeable guide has the patients of a saint and was incredible with our kids, he happily joined their games on the long drives to and from Kinrara and shared his knowledge and passion for the local wildlife, floral and fauna. Chef Will, your meals were beyond amazing, fantastic fresh ingredients treated simply with precision. Every meal, breakfast lunch and dinner was delicious! Whats more was Will's desire to ensure our kids were happy also, creating custom simple options, nothing was too much trouble. Lindsey, Will's partner in the kitchen, quietly enuring the high levels of service were constant throughout our stay. And not forgetting Kathy the boss, her passion for Kinrara and North Queensland is obvious, her knowledge and stories are fascinating. She is the driving force behind making Kinrara a magical place.

We had the most unbelievable time. Cathy and Will were amazing. The food was out of this world, he is such a great chef. The experience was superb. 

The kids enjoyed every minute of it. It is incredibly well run by Cathy, they are after every detail.

I was a bit sceptical about the tent before coming here, but they are so tidy and the beds are so comfortable and they are so clean. They are a pleasure to be in. 

We saw lots of kangaroos and Wallabies, and birds and we did kayaking and saw incredible wildlife. Luckily no crocs….

This really should be in my opinion more popular, sort of a hidden gem but more people need to know this exists.

Have you ever felt the desire to escape the 'rat race', explore your own backyard and relax for a while? If so, Kinrara Expeditions is just the solution. Driving through outback country and not knowing what to expect you soon arrive at a little piece of paradise called Kinrara.

The scenery, the bird life, the peace and quiet and the hospitality is just exceptional. Every day you wake up wondering why you'd never heard of Kinrara. And all put together by Cathy who is the ultimate host. And of course Will who amazes us with culinary skills that would do justice in any 5-Star restaurant.

And to cap if all off the 'camping' really does give meaning to the word glamping. The beds are perfect and leave you waking each day refreshed and the batteries recharged.

So am I a fan? Most definitely! What a great (and hidden) experience. Well done to Cathy, Will and the whole team.
