We already had 3 .5 Meters of rain in 4 days! the bottle neck broke out at 6 am hitting us like a freight train and the rest is a good story to tell around a fireplace.

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.

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.

Itâs in a fantastic location only 10min from Port Douglas. Large grassed area where you can just pick a spot . Itâs very close to the road on one side and the other side is a dump for building materials so it is quite noisy during the day and early morning but pretty quiet at nighttime. Bit overpriced for what it is .

The location is perfect, close enough to Port Douglas, Mossman and the Daintree but also far enough away from the crowds.
Water available on site and a dump point around 1km away is a real bonus and plentyâs of space between us and other campers on this beautiful property.

Where to go
Daintree Village
The pioneer-era timber logging township of Daintree Village is 48 km south of Cape Tribulation. Thereâs not much to do at this quirky village, but itâs a good place to stock up on essential supplies, and it has a good pub and a couple of cafes.
Mossman Gorge
The heart of the other section of Daintree National Park, Mossman Gorge is a popular swimming hole among huge granite boulders on the Mossman River. Entry is only via fee-based shuttle bus from the Mossman Gorge Centre.
Cow Bay
The Daintree Discovery Centre at Cow Bay has more than 900 metres of elevated rainforest boardwalks, a 10-metre-high aerial walkway to explore the tree canopy, and a 23-metre tower for expansive views. Self-guided audio tours are included, and visitors gain access to an informative interpretive display.
Kuranda
Kuranda is another rainforest village, best visited on the way north from Cairns. It has several wildlife attractions (including a butterfly house) and offers both Barron River cruises and rainforest walks. Itâs unashamedly touristy with lots of markets and souvenir shops, but itâs a scenic stop that can be reached from Cairns via the Skyrail cableway and/or the Kuranda Scenic Rail historic train.
Mount Alexandra (Walu Wugirriga) Lookout
The Mount Alexandra (Walu Wugirriga) lookout, about 5 km from the Daintree River ferry crossing on the road to Cape Tribulation, has the best views of the coast and nearby islands.
When to go
The best months to visit Cape Tribulation are July to November, during the âdryâ season. At this time of year, toxic marine stingers are less likely to inhabit the water. December to March is hot and humid, and from February to March, campers find lots of rain. Cyclones are possible between November and April.
