The Broken River Mountain Resort is the number one place to stay if you’re looking to check out the local wildlife. Book into one of the lodges or cabins, all with private bathrooms and televisions, and you can spend the days exploring the surrounding rainforest and activities. We highly recommend you take a walk down to Broken River, which is the platypus capital of the world. Enjoy watching these beautiful creatures feed in the early morning or evening, just a short walk away from your very own cabins. This is a must-do activity while in the area, as you may never have the same opportunity again to witness these unique creatures in their natural habitat. While you stay at the Broken River Mountain Resort, you can either bring your own food and stay in a self-contained cabin, or choose to dine at the Possums Table licensed restaurant for breakfast, lunch and dinner. They have a huge selection of delicious main meals, as well as a continental breakfast and fresh lunch options, so you don’t have to stray far from the resort to eat incredible food.
