We have 2 and a half acres of hobby farm with fruit trees, vegetables and open grass for the two resident donkeys, chickens and a couple of dogs. It really is a mini farm just 3 km from the beach. The two very friendly donkeys love to be with children. The property is in the middle of the Daintree Rain Forest with all its beauty. There are endless walks, guided tours adventure activities for all ages and fitness. Guests are required to be fully self sufficient with their own toilet/shower facilities and must take all waste with them on departure. Pull in with your RV beautiful peaceful spot surrounded by fruit trees and rain forest. Go for a swim in one of the many local swimming holes. Great adventures to be had exploring the amazing Daintree National Park from within, Beautiful Cow Cw Bay Beach is just 3 km away. The children will love the donkeys and chickens. Campfires are permitted outside of any restrictions and must be contained and supervised at all times. Well behaved pets are allowed on leash as we have our animals.

The long grass made it more humid than it was. There needs to be a visible sign out the front. If there was potable water we could not find it.

Really friendly and welcoming hosts on such a beautiful property in an amazing part of the Daintree. Extremely peaceful, plenty of space with gorgeous bushland surrounding it. Very friendly animals and the Donkeys are amazing. I’ll definitely be staying again on my next trip.

This stay was okay. We chose it because there weren't many other options in the Daintree, but not sure I'd write home about it - it was quiet with no other people. But it's basically just a rough paddock, with nothing else. Some wild pigs trotting about. Met a nice little dog.

Belinda has a lovely place, her donkeys and dogs are a highlight as they are super friendly and the views surrounding the property are beautiful. Well situated for exploring the Daintree and Cape Tribulation.

Peaceful spot to stay in Cow Bay, not far from the ferry, beach down the road, friendly hosts plus donkeys! I wouldn’t hesitate staying again if we’re up this way again.

Great place in a beautiful setting. Located close to so many local attractions. Friendly and relaxed host. Kids enjoyed the donkeys, dogs and chickens. An evening walk revealed the numerous glow worms which were amazing.

We had a very relaxed 3 nights on Belinda’s block. The space is very quiet, spacious, private and relaxing after many days driving from spot to spot and much nicer than any crammed caravan park. It was great to chill out spot! Cow bay down the road is a beautiful beach. The donkeys and dogs were always up for a pat. Great spot.

Belinda was a friendly host with great communication. The donkeys were adorable and very friendly. However, as a single woman I found the place over priced for what is essentially just a field with no facilities. There isn't even a tap in the paddock though my host did offer to run a hose pipe over if I needed water. I had the place to myself, and it was a peaceful quiet night, so if you want complete isolation, then this is a good spot to find it.

Lovely place to stay in the Daintree, quiet, private and there was a lovely breeze coming up from the beach which is only 2mins down the road. The clearing means that there are fewer mosquitoes than I'd assume many of the camps in the Daintree get. Our girls loved riding, grooming and even giving Belinda's two donkeys Jack and Whanita a makeover.
