Paronella Park is a celebration of the Paronella family’s achievements, including the hard work of its founder José Paronella. Enjoy fantastic photo opportunities, daily tours to take in the sights, view the Teresa Falls, or grab some lunch at the open-air Café on the Deck.
The Park includes José Paronella’s castle, picnic area by the falls, tennis courts, bridges, and a tunnel, all surrounded by a lush rainforest of 7,500 tropical plants and trees.
Arriving in Australia from Catalonia, Spain in 1913, José Paronella created the intricate gardens and castle for the enjoyment of the public. The Park was officially opened in 1935 after years of unswerving labour, built with a movie theatre and hall for dances and parties. José planted upwards to 7,000 trees in the park, including magnificent Kauris, highlighting the stunning Teresa Falls.

Perfect Paronella Park
Our family of 4 thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Paronella Park. The accommodation was top notch. Tour guides extremely knowledgeable and passionate and engaging. Grounds to die for, just gorgeous. All staff and owners super friendly. We can’t recommend this experience highly enough. Do yourself a favour. GO!

This is a true love story in history. I am not a lover of historical sites but this one had me captivated in the love story of Jose and his family.

Paronella Park
A must see. Jose was certainly a man with great foresight. The Evan’s family have done a wonderful job maintaining and restoring Paronella Park. Our guide Bill told the story enthusiastically and informatively. All the staff were lovely and helpful. Something you would not believe unless you see it for yourself.
