Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### CJ K. Dec 24, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Early Diggings Hut - sublime location, exquisitely furnished, restful. Early Diggings Hut is a superb cottage, located on a farm in Topaz, on the Atherton Tablelands. The setting is breath taking: with green, rolling paddocks overlooking virgin rainforest (cassowary sightings are common). The cottage is beautifully furnished, with gorgeous rainforest timber tables and comfy chairs to look out the large picture windows, and the bathroom is exquisite. This is a wonderful spot to relax and unwind. The hosts (who live in the main house near the cottage) are just lovely people too. I cannot rate this cottage highly enough. You will not be disappointed. ##### CJ K.
