Jack's Place is a family-owned retreat property just back from Cow Bay Beach in the Daintree Rainforest. The property has been in our family for over 40 years, being one of the first properties established in the region, named after Jack, a career railwayman & sugar mill operator, our beloved father, grandfather & great grandfather, who 'chucked' his only 'sickie' ever to get to the auction to purchase the property.

Plenty of lovely freshwater swimming holes in the area and we are about 1km to the beach. Can walk via bitumen road.

Nice flat grassy area with lots of dry firewood, however the description leads you to think you can access the creek but this is not the case.
Such a peaceful camp just up the road from the beach in the beautiful rainforest, we loved our stay here and highly would recommend it. Also were lucky enough to spot a cassowary on our arrival
Secluded and quiet (maybe a bit of road noise), 900m beautiful stroll down to beach, 6km to the swimming hole, and the dog loved it.
Thnaks Max for your review glad your dog loved it.
Jack’s Place was such a lovely spot to camp at. My partner and I enjoyed the peacefulness of it all. It was great that my dog was able to come along with us and for it to be his first ever camping trip, he should did enjoy it. I will definitely be coming back to stay.
Thank you.

Thank you Kate appreciate your comments.
Sheltered spot in a clearing amongst rainforest trees with plenty of firewood to use in the various fire pits.
There is a primitive but usable shower in a derelict hut with cold rainwater only.
