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 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.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.

Relaxed stay amongst the animals

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.

Pleasant farmstay but overpriced.

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.
