Treetop Spa - The Canopy Hotel, Cairns Highland Region, Australia
This eco hotel (formally called ‘Fur ‘n’ Feathers Treehouses’ has won many awards. Not surprising when you understand the hotel has a passion for the environment and wildlife. Small is amazingly beautiful, and luxurious, in this instance. So what does The Canopy offer its visitors?
Accommodation is provided in the following:
• 5 two bed-roomed luxury timber and glass tree houses are fully self contained, (all totally secluded and private with fully equipped kitchen, spa baths, a balcony with a BBQ and hammock.
• One larger 3 bedroom house (called the Bower House) with spectacular views of the valley and is on top of a ridge in the rainforest.
• A further two bed rooms are located at ground level within the main building (called the Rainforest Unit) and has wheelchair access.
‘OK, so what?’, you may ask, ‘what is so special about this?’; it sounds like the kind of accommodation to be found in many places!
Well here goes…..the furniture is crafted from the rainforests, not just any old bath, but ones that are double corner spas – with fully bathrobes and hand made soap. Washing machines and dryers, Internet connection, DVD and TV, am I whetting your appetite, cos there’s more…
