With views across to the mountains of World heritage listed Daintree national park. Our property is thick rainforest with landscaped gardens, lookouts and quirky garden features. We live on site. We have chickens, bees, a large selection of fruit trees and exotic plant life in our garden as well as our own creek and rainforest walk. Check in is anytime between 2pm and 8pm, please note we do not do late check ins. Check out is anytime before 10am. GUESTS WILL NEED A CAR TO STAY AT OUR BED AND BREAKFAST DUE TO OUR RURAL SITUATION.

Suggested 4 day stay A day at the reef, A day at Mossman Gorge, A day to Cape Tribulation and a day in Port Douglas Do a crocodile spotting tour on the Daintree, try bird watching at Mt Lewis, walk the beautiful Four mile beach, read a book by our pool, take a hike in Mossman Gorge national park and finish off with a swim in one of the crystal clear pools. So much to do

Neighborhood info

IMPORTANT INFORMATION: To get the best out of our area guests will need a car whilst staying with us. Public transport in a rural area is nothing like it's big city cousin with limited services available. We are just minutes away from Mossman gorge national park and it's amazing swimming holes and beautiful rainforest walks. Mossman township is just a short drive away, while Port Douglas with its marina and reef cruises departure point, cafes, shops and beautiful beach is a 20 minute drive away. Cape Tribulation is a scenic one hour away as are the northern beaches of Cairns. We are well placed to visit the iconic reef and rainforest destinations of the Douglas shire. Suggested tours - Solar Whisper for a cruise on the Daintree river, Calypso for a day trip to the Barrier Reef, Mossman Gorge centre for a guided or unguided walk through the rainforest. Bird watching on the Daintree with Daintree boatman or a guided day trip with Fine Feather tours.
