Immersive remote, rainforest experience. Cute shack that suited my kids and me. We really like a natural space. The area is amazing too - a real treat to spend days here and absorb a bit of the environment over time.

Restful location in the midst of the Daintree Rainforest. Wonderful base for exploring the local area or simply sitting by the creek in contemplation. Lovely house for a couple to reside in.

Was difficult to find without access to internet for GPS, so best to have a paper/written plan before you embark on the journey.Overall a well set up place for a remote stay in the rainforest.

Thanks for your feedback. If you put directions into your gps before you lose signal it will still guide you to your destination.

This property is a magical piece of heaven! It is even better in real life than it is in the photos! Lovely and quiet, private and peaceful. The creek is beautiful and gives a tranquil sound of water flowing while relaxing on the deck or in the hammock. The beach is only a few streets away and is absolutely beautiful. Had the best relaxing weekend. We will definitely be back

Quiet quirky rainforest setting

Great property for a family visit. Plenty of board games and the creek swimming was the most refreshing part of our stay. The beds were comfortable and we had just about everything we needed to cook for ourselves and was lovely to bbq overlooking the rainforest.

Moo Creek

Wonderful secluded cabin in the middle of the rain forest. Walk down to the creek and you're in nature and there is wildlife everywhere. We absolutely loved our stay at Moo Creek. Highly recommended.

Our stay

It was a very nice and quiet place. We found the snake climbing in the gutters on house 2nd evening, very cool. The pool was nice to swim in and the fish would nibble on you and were jumping out of water a little to bite at my beard. My son thought it was a riot.

The house is within national park, there are animals that visit and we saw fireflies and heard animals in the bush. It was lovely to make our own dinner and experience feeling like were in nature by eating our dinner/breakfast out on the patio. Close to cow bay, where we took a quick dip (mind the possible crocodiles!), and lazed on the beach. The house does not have aircon which may be a limiting factor for some people. It was nice and sunny whilst there so being on solar power only wasn't a problem. Our hosts also contacted us early and sent a ferry pass so that we didn't have to pay extra for that, which was absolutely awesome, and made it nice and easy for us. Thank you for the stay.

Bring a Couple of Good Books

Moo Creek is a peaceful getaway. It doesn't have mobile connection. It doesn't have WhatsApp, YouTube, that X thing, Facewhatever, SMSs, or mains power. It does have very helpful caretakers nearby. It does have peace and quiet, other than the bounty of birdlife. It does have a flowing creek with a pool where tiny fish join you. If you've had a busy schedule then you should find Moo Creek, which close to Cow Bay Beach, instantly calming.
