Kipara Tropical Rainforest Retreat

Kipara Tropical Rainforest Retreat

10/10 Excellent
"Kipara was a lovely place to stay, close to Airlie Beach walkable or a short 5 minute bus ride away. The staff were welcoming from the start and very helpful thought our stay. HELENE on reception was lovely helped me out with my travel enquires and a good listener. She is great and a credit to their staff. Cabins are clean, kitchens too. We even used the laundry facilities while we were there. Pool was a nice place to sit and unwind in too, a nice place to stay, highly recommend."
