Tinaroo Haven Holiday Lodge Atherton
General Description
Lake Tinaroo has developed into one of the Shire's most popular
tourist locations. It is a tourist spot that has so much to offer everyone
so why not join us and at the same time, explore the Atherton Tablelands or
simply relax in the tranquil surroundings.
Tinaroo Haven Holiday Lodge is located in the Cairns hinterland known as
The Atherton Tablelands, just over an hours drive from Cairns in Tropical
North Queensland, Australia, the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef.
We are situated 200 metres from lake Tinaroo, an area famed for all year
round Barramundi fishing as well as water sports. Although we are situated
200 metres from the lake, views of the lake have been obscured by the
forest growth which surrounds the property. The nearest boat ramp is
approximately 1km (drive) from the property.
Tinaroo Haven Holiday lodge is centrally located and consists of a high
level pole house (Al's look-out) and a timber home (Percy¿s
Hide-Away). The two houses, although next door to each other, are separated
by a covered walkway and each have their own private entrances, verandahs
and entertainment areas. The property has been designed to provide views of
the surrounding mountains, and is hidden away in a secluded area of 2.5
acres of native bushland. The accommodation is fully self contained with
all amenities and is suitable for single families, couples or large groups.

Right here, up the hill past Woolworths shopping Centre and go to the
'T' intersection at the top of the hill, where you turn left.
Follow the road around, past the High School until you reach the Kairi
turnoff and take this road to the Dam. Follow this road to Kairi; go past
the Kairi Hotel and store. After you pass the school the road continues
around to the left and is signposted to Tinaroo Dam. This is the start of a
long straight. Proceed about 2.5 km along that straight. When you reach the
top of the hill at the end of the straight, turn right into Malcolm Road.

Turn left into Wavell Drive. Tinaroo Haven Holiday Lodge's driveway is

the caretakers house (don't take the first left turn you come to) and

late at night, please take care for wallabies when you enter Malcolm Road
as this area is their "playing field" at night.
