Garden Lovers, May last year brought the chance to revisit Cairns and a long time colleague and friend Mark Vowles and his partner and interior designer Fairlie Kerr.
‘Tabu’, I would say, is the distillation of all Mark has learnt about wet tropics garden making and the planting combinations that excel in the monsoon driven rainforest.

Aside from the impressive garden, ‘Tabu’ is also a swish Bed & Breakfast I can highly recommend for that next visit you’re planning to FNQ… !!
