Honeybee House is a fully furnished and self-contained holiday home at Speewah, less than a 10 minute drive from the rainforest village of Kuranda in Tropical North Queensland.

We offer guests a quiet retreat in a comfortable two bedroom house on 5 acres of tropical gardens and rainforest.

The house will sleep a maximum of 4 guests in two queen size beds. There is also a wood burning combustion heater in the lounge/dining area, which will ensure your comfort in the colder months of the year (June to August).
