Wow, what an amazing place to stay in the Daintree… it took our breath away on arrival! Situated deep in the Daintree National Park, we had a wonderful time enjoying the serenity and peace, listening to the rainforest sounds and waterfall. With only 2 of us in this spacious paradise we had a romantic escape from the modern world without internet or mobile reception to disturb us. Very private, with expansive open verandah overlooking the lush tropical rainforest, waterfall and swimming hole. There had been very little rain for some months when we stayed at the beginning of December, however the waterfall continued to flow, and the swimming hole was still deep enough to jump in! The entire house is yours to enjoy with no neighbours visible. It’s very well equipped including full sized oven, huge fridge / freezer with ice maker in the door, laundry facilities and generous pantry supplies. The driveway was pretty steep but fully sealed all the way down and didn’t cause us any issues with our small 2wd car. The top bedroom was a little warm at this time of year and as it’s off the grid, understandably air-conditioning is not available, but we found the fans were sufficient to keep us cool. We booked directly with Katherine who provided us with detailed information about the location including nearby restaurants and attractions to visit in the area, as well as clear directions to the property which were easy to follow. For nature lovers that enjoy their privacy, Daintree Secrets offers an unforgettable experience in the most stunning setting that allows you to escape from the hustle and bustle of modern life, leaving you with a feeling of tranquillity and inner peace. We highly recommend this special spot in the wilderness and will definitely return. Katherine, thanks for sharing this magical place with...
Read moreBeautiful, relaxed secluded. We have just returned home from a week here, It was terrific. A true paradise. The house is well equipped and we had no issues with anything at all. Katherine has supplied everything for our stay - Just add people, drinks and food. We bought the majority of food and drink in Mossman and topped up from the local mini store. The location is totally private and quiet (apart from the sounds of the stream and wildlife). There were four of us (Mum, Dad, and our two adult children). Katherine supplied so much relevant, meaningful and interesting information and tips about the house and local area. READ IT it is a comprehensive compendium and will make your stay perfect! We ate at each of Katherines recommendations and loved all the food (and ice creams). "Lync Haven" and "On the Turps" were the best but all the suggestion are very good - It's a hard choice so, we went to all of them. There is no TV reception at all nor any internet or mobile coverage in the house. There's a TV and DVD player and a wide selection of movies or BYO. The dress standard (for restaurants) is very easy to accommodate because it is so relaxed, do not dress up - its not required. If there's any item at all that needs expert assistance - There's a land-line phone and a list of local contact numbers for support. Life's too short to be angry so, stay calm and just love it! You're on an "off the grid" holiday with hot and cold running everything. Enjoy this unspoiled natural part of your world.
Thank you Katherine...
Read moreI have stayed here three times now and it has always been excellent. The facilities and accomodation itself has continued to improve - this trip I saw a larger, extended deck, an awesome new kitchen and much new furniture. We had no power issues as there is now solar as well as hydro. The manager was very easy to communicate with about our booking, everything was straight-forward. BUT THE REAL REASON you should check this place out is the NATURAL BEAUTY! It is the incredible deep, cool private swimming hole with your own little waterfall that always draws me back. Rain or shine, you won't want to leave. I love spotting the beautiful Ulysses butterfly and exploring down the creek. Highly recommend to everyone - the perfect getaway. I prefer going as a romantic retreat, but if you can get a group together (large enough for a couple families) then it'd be great...
