What guests think
Broken River Mountain Resort sits in a tranquil, wildlife-rich setting by Broken River, where guests repeatedly praise easy platypus viewing and forest walks, friendly staff, and roomy, rustic cabins that make a simple base for a quiet nature escape.
The remote setting brings limited mobile coverage and few nearby services, while parking is convenient and heating via fireplaces or oil radiators is common; some cabins lack air conditioning. Cleanliness is generally acceptable, yet a handful of guests reported dust, cobwebs, mould in showers, and minor maintenance such as dripping taps. On-site dining draws mixed feedback—barramundi and homestyle dinners earn praise, but availability can be limited to pre-ordered takeaway and quality varies; some guests use a nearby cafe for breakfast. Expect a peaceful, nature-led stay with simple comforts.

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.

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.

The staff of the property were outstanding. Our cabin was very comfortable, and really close to the river where we could look out for platypus. We saw some in the first hour and at least a few were active all through the day (overcast weather probably helped). Also saw pademelon and a bandicoot on complementary night time nature walks which are multiple times each week. The location is beautifully forested with nearby hiking and trail info available from the property. Our cabin had a nice kitchen, and a comfortable bathroom with a roomy, nice hot shower. The dinners from the restaurant were delicious (steamed barramundi was outstanding) and a nice spot for lunch and coffee is on the grounds, so don’t even need to bring in supplies to cook yourself, but could if you wanted to. Our family of 4 had a wonderful time. A real gem of a place to stay.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

In dem sehr feuchten Klima ergab sich ein unangenehmer Geruch im Zimmer. Keine Klimaanlage. Bis auf Tiergeräusche war es nachts sehr ruhig. Das Essen entsprach leider nicht den ehemals guten Bewertungen.

The staff of the property were outstanding. Our cabin was very comfortable, and really close to the river where we could look out for platypus. We saw some in the first hour and at least a few were active all through the day (overcast weather probably helped). Also saw pademelon and a bandicoot on complementary night time nature walks which are multiple times each week. The location is beautifully forested with nearby hiking and trail info available from the property. Our cabin had a nice kitchen, and a comfortable bathroom with a roomy, nice hot shower. The dinners from the restaurant were delicious (steamed barramundi was outstanding) and a nice spot for lunch and coffee is on the grounds, so don’t even need to bring in supplies to cook yourself, but could if you wanted to. Our family of 4 had a wonderful time. A real gem of a place to 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.

Excellent resort style cabins with self contained amenities. Close to Broken River trails system and Platypus viewing. I recommend this accommodation if Broken River is s destination for you. Watch out for message from management with room details if arriving after normal reception hours, ie after 4:30 pm or so.

Room is very dated, with mould starting in the bathroom walls and kitchen blinds. Carpet and lino worn. TV and free Wifi worked well. Everything in the kitchen you would need. Fantastic meal at the restaurant! Will go back again just for the feed, and a very reasonable price

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?
