SPACE TO SLOW DOWN
In the rainforest.
In good company.
This year we are again privileged to enjoy the beautiful Log Cabin Rainforest Retreat.
The camp is set on 20 acres of pristine rainforest adjacent to Natural Bridge National Park in the Gold Coast Hinterland. A crystal clear creek runs along the bottom of the property.
