THE COTTAGE

The Cottage is our romantic getaway property, situated on the spring fed creek, it is cozily nestled away in the Daintree Rainforest. Make your own breakfast in this self-contained cottage, and then sit outside and enjoy the gorgeous morning around you. Furnished and built from beautiful timbers, The Cottage sleeps 2 in the private bedroom.
The Cottage is a 1 bedroom property, so couples travelling with children can still have some privacy. You will love the two separate outside sitting spaces, sit and have breakfast overlooking your own private swimming hole, or gaze off into the rainforest with all the mysterious sounds of bird calls of the morning.
Our guests are most impressed with the many cascading waterfalls so close to The Cottage. Just 10 steps from the front door is your own private swimming hole. It comes complete with natural spa pools, you can almost feel yourself relaxing already, can’t you?!
As soon as you arrive you won’t need to leave. This Daintree forest accommodation is fully self-contained so you’re able to bring your own food and cook up a gourmet storm in your kitchen. The Daintree Rainforest National Park has tremendous star gazing opportunities as there’s no urban light nearby, and the apex of The Cottage is fitted with a see-through window so you can lay in bed and watch the Southern Cross rise in the evening.

Special place in the Daintree

What a wonderful little cottage in the jungle, secluded, quiet, only the gentle running river and cicadas being the only sounds. What a fantastic bonus having the swimming hole and the bottom of the steps to cool off in during the day. Feel like our 2 day stay has been so much longer due to the total relaxation of our stay. Thank you....love your set up!

Lovely quiet hideaway for our Daintree long weeken

We stayed in the 2 person Cottage at Daintree Cascades and had a really lovely long weekend. The cottage fit out was functional, comfortable and everything we needed was there. The landscaping was really in keeping with the rain-forest setting and allowed easy access to the creek and cottage. Our photos of the cottage and creek were beautiful and indicative of the effort put into making something that is ordered to look natural.
