Bloomfields peace and tranquility envelope you. At the heart is the Main Lodge with the bar and dining terrace overlooking the pool and deck area. The office and games room are also housed here.

Accommodation
The beautiful timber cabins are exquisitely furnished with natural wood and cane, cool and light with colonial-style ceiling fans and mosquito nets draped elegantly above the beds. Most have sea-facing verandahs and all have en suite facilities. The rooms are serviced daily and a complimentary guest laundry is available.

Rainforest Cabin:
Adjacent to the main lodge, Rainforest Cabins are excellent value, comfortable and convenient. Verandahs overlook lush rainforest and some have a partial sea view. All rooms have queen beds.

A pretty terrace of 4 Cabins, the Queenslanders enjoy a totally unspoilt view over Weary Bay. Each room has a generous verandah and outdoor seating for relaxing after the day's activities. One separate family suite on two floors with shared bathroom. Bedding is either Queen or twin beds.

Hideaway Retreat:
These individually designed and furnished cottages are the ultimate treat at Bloomfield.

Larger than the Rainforest and Queenslander cabins and beautifully positioned on the hillside away from the main Lodge, Deluxe cabins are quite superb. All have private sea-facing verandahs with excellent views and a choice of queen or twin beds and sleeps up to 3 guests (at an extra charge).

Meals are exceptional. Fresh seafood, steaks and tropical fruits and vegetables are all served in the relaxed comfort of the open-air dining room.
