About this property

Fern House your serene rainforest retreat

Welcome to Fern House — a truly magical retreat hidden in the lush rainforest surrounds of Bingil Bay, where nature, comfort, and creativity come together to create an unforgettable family getaway.

Tucked away in a peaceful coastal pocket just minutes from the beach, this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom hideaway is designed for guests who want to slow down, reconnect, and fully immerse themselves in the natural beauty of Far North Queensland. From the moment you arrive, you feel a sense of calm — a place where you can breathe deeply and forget the outside world.

Inside, Fern House is full of character and charm, featuring beautiful stained glass windows that filter tropical light throughout the home. The interiors are warm, comfortable, and thoughtfully prepared for families, with games, crafts, and everything needed to keep both kids and adults entertained and relaxed.

Step outside onto the wrap-around verandahs, where you can take in peaceful views over the pool and surrounding greenery. The outdoor spaces are made for long, slow mornings with coffee, afternoon lounging, and warm evenings under the stars. The pool area includes heating, making it enjoyable year-round, while the surrounding gardens create a private, resort-like atmosphere.

For those travelling with extra vehicles or adventure gear, there is also space to park a caravan with ease. As the evening cools, gather around the fire, enjoy the fresh forest air, and listen to the sounds of nature all around you.

This is a place where wildlife is part of daily life — including the occasional visit from the iconic cassowary wandering through the property, reminding you just how special this environment truly is.

Just a short drive away, you’ll find the pristine beaches of Bingil Bay and the wider coastline of Mission Beach, where golden sands meet the turquoise waters of the Coral Sea. From here, you can also explore island adventures to Dunk Island and further to Bedarra Island, both iconic tropical escapes just offshore.

Whether you’re here for family time, nature immersion, or simply to unwind in a one-of-a-kind setting, Fern House offers a rare combination of privacy, comfort, and magic — a place where everything has been thought of for your perfect tropical escape.

Truely and incredible stay. We came us as a relaxing holiday celebrating at 30th birthday. The house and views were breathtaking escape from work and city life. We had so much fun play board games and card games and just exploring the house. The kitchen has definitely been updated since the photos and its truely a stylistic masterpiece. I sent alot of time admiring the thoughtfulness of the style choices and its nice to see someone clearly lifes at this house and it's not just a standard hotel setup. Cannot recommend enough.

Fern House is beautiful house set in lush rainforest. Everything we could possibly want was there. We spent a lot of time just hanging out on the extensive balcony, and our boys loved the upstairs retreat area with its musical instruments. It was lovely to hear the array of wildlife sounds at night! The only thing to point out for those traveling in winter is that the pool is now covered so receives basically no sunlight, and as a result was freezing - a bit disappointing as we were hoping to use it.
