The Lake Shack

Nestled on the shores of Lake Tinaroo in the lush Atherton Tablelands, “The Lake Shack” offers a tranquil escape where nature and comfort intertwine. Imagine waking up to the gentle lapping of water against the shore, sunlight filtering through the trees, and the distant call of kookaburras echoing across the lake. Step onto your private deck with a steaming cup of coffee, breathing in the crisp, fresh air as mist dances over the water. The shack, a cozy retreat with rustic charm, boasts expansive windows that frame postcard-worthy views of the shimmering lake and rolling green hills beyond.
Your days here could be as relaxed or adventurous as you choose. Spend a lazy morning curled up with a book by the fire, the soft breeze rustling the leaves overhead, or head down to the water’s edge to cast a line—Lake Tinaroo is renowned for its barramundi fishing. If you’re feeling active, borrow the kayaks provided and paddle across the glassy surface, discovering hidden coves and spotting native wildlife like wallabies or platypuses along the banks. In the afternoon, fire up the barbecue for a lakeside feast, the scent of sizzling food mingling with eucalyptus in the air, as the sun dips below the horizon, painting the sky in hues of orange and pink.
As night falls, the Tablelands’ starry sky takes centre stage. Gather around the outdoor fire pit, roasting marshmallows and sharing stories, or simply soak in the stillness from the hot tub, the cool night air a perfect contrast to the warm water. Inside, the snug living area invites you to unwind with a movie or board game before sinking into plush beds for a restful sleep, lulled by the peaceful whispers of the lake. A stay here promises a rejuvenating blend of nature, adventure, and homey comfort.
