Gilberton Outback Retreat Airstrip is located 5 kms from the Retreat, in far North Queensland. The retreat is set on the banks of the Gilbert River. We are the 7th generation of our family to occupy Gilberton Station.
Gilberton Outback Retreat is a small family run business, welcoming guests to experience the outback way of life on an 88,000 acre 7th generation family working cattle station.
Rob and Lyn French are the current landholders and your hosts. We take time to understand our guests and love to tailor your stay to meet your needs.
We take the approach that you will ‘come as a guest and leave as a friend’.
