The central dam is effectively the size of a small lake, creating an immediate and impressive bird habitat. We were lucky to watch Brolgas, jacannas, and other waterbirds feed and rest along its edges, offering excellent viewing. The retreat is incredibly peaceful but remains conveniently close to the amenities in Mareeba. This provides a perfect balance of seclusion and accessibility. Brook was a lovely host who gave excellent recommendations for local sightseeing. Highly recommended for a peaceful stay with great birdwatching.

I stayed here for a couple nights and had the space and creek all to myself! The site is private and the creek is so pristine. The waterhole close by that is recommended, is absolutely superb. Went to the Julatten Hotel for dinner one night which is literally a couple minutes away. The beautiful lady that’s lives on the property is soo lovely. Perfect for a private camp site with quite a shaded area with dinner and lunch options close by, along with pristine creek dips. 100% recommend! Thanks for having me :)

We absolutely loved our stay at Possum Gully. Site 1 was secluded, and while the creek wasn’t fully flowing, it was ankle deep and suited us with our 2.5yo. We went up the first night to watch the animals being fed and this was the absolute highlight! I would recommend this to any friends looking for a lowkey stay that’s private and quiet

The site (we had site 3) was very open with plenty of space for tents and cars. It had a bathroom block where we set our portable toilet and shower - Way better than setting up our ensuite. The creek was minimal during our time (dry season) but still enough to entertain the kids and cool off. With a bit of rain it would be amazing during the wet season. We had local furry creatures visit us a few times when the site was quiet. Also, on the property, we saw a Frilled Neck Lizard over a metre long... we called him 'Fred'. -Amazing There are 2 approx. 20 min drives to Mareeba for necessities, we took the back roads. Saw a Brown snake, a lot of rural living and farm land. The hosts are lovely and respect privacy. We will be going back without the kids to enjoy the peace Wally's Roost has to offer.

Camped for one night at Site 1 - Possum Gully. This camp site was well maintained, clean and spacious for multiple vehicles with a camp fire pit provided. This was the most secluded site of the three and only a short walk to the portaloo. Phil and Janette were both excellent hosts, supplying us with firewood for our stay. They invited guests to attend their nightly feedings of the wildlife which was a great experience. Janette shared a wealth of knowledge about the animals and we were lucky enough to see many animals, including Sparkles the possum and her new twin babies. I would highly recommend this camp site to others travelling through the Atherton region. I would definitely camp here again.

We loved staying by the creek at Wally’s roost . We camped very comfortably in our tents creek side with picture perfect sunset views and the tranquil sound of running water and native animals both sending us to sleep and gently easing us into a new day at sunrise . Perfect for children as they are visible to adults at all times by the water and well kept surrounds . Hosts are very welcoming and provide firewood at a small extra fee . . This gem of a property is close to Atherton and Mareeba should you need anything you may have overlooked or if you wish to visit tourist destinations like granite Gorge rocky creek memorial museum or the waterfalls and or crater lakes . ! We hope to return as we were not there for long enough this visit due to working commitments

Cleared slashed areas beside the river. Enjoy a river swim to cool you down during summer and go for a cold dip during winter. River is also good for fishing during the right season. Access to river is 100 metres on graded walking track. Unless you have a ‘booster ’there is very limited mobile coverage or internet. {enjoy the peace and solitude} Access to the property is fourteen kilometres gravel, coming off the highway. Sites are private separated from each other, some sites suit clothing optional guests Site is 300 metres from road and provides privacy. Tents and small caravans are ideal. Not suitable for highway caravans or very large vans as the access will be too rough. There are walking areas at rear of property. Be aware tropical North Queensland has paralysis ticks and we have snakes at times and visiting pigs. Water can be supplied upon request. Power generators are permitted . There may be minimal mobile service with Telstra. Campfire will only be permitted within fire pit. All campers will need to be self contained and leave no trace behind.

You will have access to our beautiful peaceful surroundings, with adequate shelter under some lovely big trees park your camper or pitch a swag. We also have a nice running creek that you can enjoy watching our many wildlife that are present throughout the creek, fish, eels and turtles. It's truly a very private and relaxing spot to chill out and enjoy camping for a few days or whatever suits your needs while passing the area. Plenty of fantastic swimming holes nearby including Josephine falls and Babinda boulders very popular spots for tourist and the locals. Site 1 right down on the creek large grass flat space big enough for two families to set up camp. The creek runs around the outside so there are a number of viewing points to see the wildlife mentioned above. A set of solar lights hang over the firepit area allowing for more light while cooking on our wonderful swinging hotplate BBQ. Site 2 Our newer spot work in progress not so ideal for camper trailers. your situated under our tree line away from the main creek. A smaller paver firepit, plenty fine for sitting around an open fire while watching the stars at night. Swimming in the creek is not recommended. So please check by internal message before confirming your booking that way we can confirm a spot while discussing your needs to ensure you have a clear view of your camping area. Onsite we have our shared outhouse porta toilet which is positioned in the middle of both camping areas for everyone's convenience. Take note of our extras available when confirming your booking firewood available if in stock on arrival pls ask. Please follow us on either FB or instagram - tropicalwoopencreekcamping

Daintree Beach Resort has seen many exciting changes over the last 18 months and there are more to come. Our private tropical oasis, on the doorstep of the Daintree Rainforest has seen many guests return year after year to enjoy this perfect piece of paradise. With our exciting changes, we look forward to seeing the resort evolve from a sleepy caravan park, to a vibrant resort style property with a variety of accommodation options, food and beverage offerings, new and improved facilities plus a new resort style pool and beach bar which we are hoping to confirm in 2025. In May 2024, we completed the first of our glamping pavilions. These pavilions have allowed us to provide our first step of offering a variety of accommodation options for our discerning guests. This project received tourism grant funding from the Australian Government, which has allowed us to expand on our original concept and has made the glamping pavilions really quite special. Our amenity buildings have undertaken a fresh makeover which now provides state of the art washing machines and dryers with tap and go payment options - no need for coins. A vending machine for that late afternoon or evening snack, immaculately clean bathrooms and a camp kitchen with shared facilities for those campers who like to do their own thing. Our Food & Beverage van is now open and offers a variety of food choices. Open daily from 12pm to 8.00pm (season dependent) we invite our guests and locals to come and enjoy our beautiful park setting. With a multitude of accommodation options for the most discerning guest, Daintree Beach Resort is becoming the destination, not just a place to stay.
