  • Fantastic circuit walk around the lake. Well maintained with lots of interesting flora and fauna along the way. We saw a couple of red-bellied black snakes getting some sun, and also 3 musky rat kangaroos. Lots of bird life to enjoy as well.
  • Stunning ! Hidden gem of cairns for sure, tea house super beautiful and good food, can’t get more relaxing than this. Come early super quite calm still water hear the birds and silence
  • Lake Barrine is a picturesque lake about 1 and a half hours drive from Cairns. You can cruise the lake on daily boat rides, go for a walk, swim or just kick back and relax with a meal and drink in the teahouse. Enjoy the beautiful gardens, spot a Ulysses Butterfly, find some fish in the lake or go for a nature walk. A great day out.
  • Excellent place for breakfast, the food was exquisite 😋😋😋
  • Absolutely love lake barrine. The teahouse serves amazing local food with a view of the lake. Theres a nice walking track around the Lake. A very relaxing and peaceful visit.
