OUR Story

Built in 1933 as a guest house for people requiring clear mountain air, the Eungella Chalet has been a landmark in the local area for decades. Today the Eungella Chalet still operates, providing clear mountain air, with some advancements in the way of creature comforts. Located adjacent to the head of the Mackay Highlands Great Walk, it is a unique gateway to Eungella National Park, with the crystal clear mountain streams and amazing diversity of flora and fauna. 

Eungella is approximately two and half hour drive from Arlie Beach, the Whitsunday Islands and the Great Barrier Reef. Nestled on the very edge of the Clark Range, the city of Mackay located 80km to the east can be seen beyond the towns dotted along the meandering Pioneer River as it cuts through the flood plains of the Pioneer Valley. 

The Chalet is a renowned pit stop for the weary traveler, providing a licensed bar and restaurant along with fantastic Pioneer Valley Views. For those requiring an extended pit stop, various styles of accommodation are available through Eungella Cabins offering Hotel Rooms in the Eungella Chalet & Cabins in various locations in and around Eungella.
