Capricorn Caves - A secluded eco-accredited retreat with cave tours, private bungalows, and native gardens

Featuring air-conditioned bungalows set among native gardens, Capricorn Caves provides self-contained accommodations with kitchenettes, flat-screen TVs, and private patios. The property includes an outdoor pool, BBQ facilities, and a bar, while guests can arrange guided cave tours through the on-site desk. Located in The Caves area, the hotel is 1 km from the Department of Health Queensland and 3 km from Rockhampton Airport. A continental breakfast is available at Capricorn Caves for AUD 10 per person. The 4-star eco-accredited resort offers wheelchair-accessible caves and a mini-market for convenience.

Pros

The unique above-ground cave system provides guided tours, a rare geological attraction.

Self-contained bungalows feature kitchenettes, patios, and spacious living areas.

The outdoor pool and BBQ area offer leisure options amidst native gardens.

Cons

Breakfast incurs an additional fee of AUD 10 per person.

Limited dining options are available on-site outside of breakfast hours.

“These cabins provide an excellent jumping-off point for exploring nearby caves, offering remarkable value for money. The well-equipped, private cabins come with a BBQ area and the bonus of a pool, making them ideal for longer stays. I found that the quiet, natural setting allowed for a relaxing and surprisingly homely experience.”
