My wife and I stayed here with our two year old daughter to try and get away from the city for the weekend. The place was excellent, nice enough restaurant and the bush walks and scenery around the resort were great. The place was quite empty which was great for us but probably not so good for the resort.

Stayed just one night here, but managed to time it on a night there was a free guided spotlighting tour, which was great fun. We saw many sightings of platypus - in the late afternoon, spotlighting in the evening, and in an early morning walk. We also enjoyed one of the longer rainforest walks that followed Broken River and included... More

If your going to be anywhere in the north area of Australia but not quite as far as Darwin take some time to travel to Eungella Reserve to view Platypus. I don't want to spoil the surprise but you have to be there either at dusk around 5:00pm or early in the morning at around 7:00am. There are a couple... More

We spent two nights here and really enjoyed it. The room was clean, comfortable and had everything you needed. The food is outstanding - a little pricey one thinks initially, but once you get your meal, you realise it really is value for money. Top marks to the chef, Troy! The resort lounge/dining area has a lovely ambience with a... More

I just spent one night at Broken River Resort and loved it. The accommodation could probably use a bit of an update, but it is clean and comfortable, with a small wood fire heater, which would make the rooms very cosy in colder weather. The staff were all very pleasant and helpful and food in the restaurant very good. As... More

My husband and I stayed here last July (sorry, this review comes a bit late). We were originally booked in to camp in the National Parks camping ground, but it was heavily raining, so we took a room at Broken River Mountain Resort. We always try to stay in advanced eco-accredited resorts where possible, and this resort only reinforced our... More

My favourite place for a peaceful weekend!. IWhen you drive up the mountain you leave your worries below! I love it! Cabins are spotlessly clean and fully equipped. Come in winter too when you can light a log fire!!! I love the ambience of the lounge and restaurant with wood cladding and games to relax with. We celebrated my birthday... More

This is a lovely place to visit and we did see platypus, our aim. We also saw a coastal taipan snake which passed within inches of my husband's sandalled feet so be warned and wear proper walking boots/shoes out and about! However, we did think the accommodation and restaurant were on the pricey side - probably because of the resort's... More

We booked rooms here to celebrate my mother's birthday. Of all the places she could have gone to all over the world, we chose to treat her extended family to a weekend at Broken River Resort, and invited friends along for the celebration too. And we all had a fantastic time! All though the resort facilities may seem somewhat basic... More

I stayed here sometime ago and found the staff and accommodation perfectly suitable for the main purpose of our visit which was to view Platypus in the wild. We chose a simple motel style room and were not disappointed in anyway. The staff were friendly and informative and the room basic and comfortable. The location however was the main attraction...
