About this property

Stay close to nature

This unique cottage is situated on 21 acres. About a 1/3 rainforest and 2/3's open grasslands. We share this beautiful block of land with a variety of animals, large, small, domesticated and native creatures that reside or are passing though. The dam in front of the cottage attracts all manner of birds. There are separated fenced areas for the horse cattle and sheep.
Perfect for couples, family and friends to stay and relax or explore the area.

The space

Your space is a whole house with your own entry. We live on the same property 70 meters away in another house, sharing the same driveway.
The dam, close to the cottage is fenced for sheep but is not pool safe for children that cannot swim.
For your convenience the cottage has a plunge pool (pool safe) made from a concrete water tank, or you may like to have a dip in fresh water swimming holes just over 1.5km from the front gate.
The cottage has a fully equipped kitchen upstairs and a kitchenette downstairs with fridge microwave toaster and kettle. Great for two couples.

Another fantastic stay!
This was our second time staying at this house and again it was amazing. It is in a great location close to Port Douglas, Mossman and the Daintree. The house is a great place to relax in a peaceful setting, very clean and owners are lovely and there if you need anything during your stay. We will certainly be back again. Thank you
