What guests think

Atherton Blue Gum draws praise for its friendly hosts, quiet bush setting near Atherton and the Tablelands, wildlife sightings, and budget-friendly rates, making it a comfortable base for road trips, family stays, and exploring the surrounding nature and towns.

Rooms are generally spacious and comfortable for families, though several guests mention thin walls and footstep or conversation noise from adjacent areas, and one-off issues like an unusable TV setup or unsupportive mattresses. Despite the B&B label, breakfast usually isn’t provided; most guests self-cater in shared kitchenettes, with occasional paid vouchers available by prior arrangement. Parking can be tight or awkward, and some reviews report musty smells, bathroom mould or dust, plus sporadic Wi‑Fi limitations. Overall, expect a simple, practical base for exploring the Atherton Tablelands.

Such a lovely property. The host was welcoming, kind and thoughtful. The photos match what was there. The beds and bathroom were all well made up and clean. It was lovely to share a lounge, kitchen and veranda with other guests and have a nice community feel. We had everything we needed plus more, and felt nicely welcomed that we would have felt we could ask if there was anything else we did need.

This property is well priced and the rooms are large, spacious and clean. And it was so quiet! Although it is advertised as having a continental breakfast, we were unable to find it. When we arrived, the carparks available were too narrow for our vehicle and we had to reverse down the driveway, which was difficult due to a lot of overhanging trees and shrubs on each side. Good value for money but not sure if it can be classified as a B&B.

This was a perfect spot for our adventures across Queensland and jumping off point for exploring the Atherton Tablelands. There was a communal porch that was perfect for relaxing after a long day of hiking and chatting with fellow travellers. Also loved seeing all of the critters at night, as the place is located right next to a greenway where pademelon and bush thick-knee wander!
