Wonderful Tropical Getaway
Loved our three nights in this wonderful house. All the amenities you need with wonderful views over the rainforest. Best of all worlds with nature and good internet coverage a bonus. Highly recommended. After a day checking the local attractions we settled in for a day reading and relaxing on the deck observing the bird life and butterflies.

Awesome property hidden away from it all & at one with nature
The property and understanding of property manager Dean, was exceptional. The off-grid property was exceptionally build and wooden charm design exceeded my expectations. It is a credit to the design and builder.

Picturesque
The property and surrounds were absolutely enchanting. After each day of exploring the Daintree, there was no better way to relax than sit on the deck with some wine and cheese and take in the serenity. Looking forward to staying here again next time we visit.
