I did it for a week up at shady camp, stayed at the bark hut inn. We just opted for donga accommodation because we were up before the sun and didn't return till night. Out all day every day.
But the Inn has great pub meals.
If you want fancy accommodations there's a resort not far from the camp on the Mary river.
We went in the run off period about April though.
Cheers and have fun.
