An address such as the Promised Land on the Never Never River sets the scene and the surrounding landscape does not disappoint. Set under the shadow of towering mountains upon verdant green pasture and sparkling waters this place is one of romance. Turning the bend on the tree lined driveway to Kirsty and George's house the first glimpse of the elevated pavilions and walkways perched high on sturdy hardwood rough cut posts is such a thrill. And a thrill lived up to once experiencing even just the first few hours on a sunny winter's afternoon once we were ensconced in the River Room, wall opened and flaps pushed back to the tree top view of tree ferns and palms. Staying here is an experience of being touched by and touching the environment in so many ways. It is exhilarating, even on the coldest of sunny mornings standing in the semi-enclosed, but steamy hot shower as the sun rises in symphony to the cackle of a gaggle of kookaburras whilst overlooking the dense palm filled rainforest. Snuggling down in the cosy bed to the absolute silence the countryside offers is a delight also. But aside from the creature comforts and the architectural delights on offer Kirsty and George are engaging and intuitive hosts who welcome a conversation, but are respectful of privacy. It is a way hosting guests little experienced any more. We only wished we had allowed ourselves one extra night to soak up the place some more.
