Amaroo Rainforest Resort - Luxury Resort in Nelly Bay, Australia

Amaroo Rainforest Resort has a 140,000-litre outdoor magnesium pool that is open year-round and a separate kiddie wading pool. The magnesium content in the water leaves skin feeling smooth, according to guests. The pool area includes shaded sun loungers and a fence around the pool for safety.

Guests can take part in daily bird feeding sessions at 4:30pm, where kookaburras and rainbow lorikeets gather. Rock wallabies and curlews are frequently seen on the property's lush tropical grounds. The resort backs onto Magnetic Island National Park, with hiking and biking trails starting from the property.

The resort offers over 60 self-contained units, including family rooms, superior twin studios, and king studios. Each unit has a kitchenette with a microwave, fridge, and toaster, plus a private patio with garden views. Some rooms have been recently renovated with new decor and comfortable beds.

The on-site restaurant, Up the Garden Path, serves breakfast and dinner, with gluten-free options and other dietary accommodations available. The bar is open on weekends and offers a happy hour with cocktails. Guests can also use the BBQ facilities located in the garden area.

The resort has two tennis courts with rackets and balls provided for guests. A dedicated function coordinator manages events such as weddings and corporate retreats. Other facilities include a fitness centre, a children's playground, and billiards.
