Cape Tribulation Exotic Fruit Farm - Bed and Breakfast Accommodation at Cape Tribulation - B&B

COME TO CAPE TRIBULATION and stay in our bed and breakfast accommodation, designed for couples, on the edge of our World Heritage Daintree Rainforest - two very private, high-set, pole-framed timber cottages, each with an ensuite, balcony and a stunning view to Mt Sorrow. Watch the slide show below for the guided tour, or view our photo album online

Relax on the bed and breakfast balcony; listen to the water flowing over the rapids in the creek; enjoy an exotic tropical fruit breakfast based around our own organic farm produce; and walk in our rainforest and along the beach at Cape Tribulation.

Cape Tribulation does NOT receive mobile phone coverage, so you can truly escape. We are committed to environmental conservation: we can offer you solar power; private World Heritage Daintree Rainforest; an organic permaculture orchard; and genuine local hospitality.

Come and share our lifestyle at Cape Tribulation for a short time, by staying in our bed and breakfast accommodation.You may like to watch the video we have made called 'A Special Place'.

WORLD HERITAGE DAINTREE RAINFOREST IN OUR OWN BACKYARD
Part of our property (approximately 8 acres/3 hectares) has been included inside the boundary of the World Heritage Daintree Rainforest.

This means our rainforest is protected for future generations, and is considered to be of very high quality. You are welcome to walk through this forest following our marked trail. You will meet no other tourists, as it is privately owned land. If you prefer, we can arrange a fully guided walk in this forest with an experienced rainforest guide.

Both cottages are right at the edge of the Daintree rainforest, and you will be interacting with the wildlife that passes through. Guests have been able to watch Cassowaries wander down the creek while eating their breakfast on the balcony. There will be insects and spiders in the vicinity, but the cottage has insect screens.

OUR ELECTRICITY COMES FROM SOLAR POWER
The Daintree region north of the river does NOT have mains electrical power. This has been a deliberate government decision to limit development in the area. Local landholders have been subsidised to enable them to set up solar systems instead. The resorts rely on trucks bringing in diesel fuel to power large generators, while bed and breakfast operators use alternative energy sources.

We offer you a more sustainable and environmentally-friendly experience of living with solar power, which reduces YOUR impact on the area. This means that you need to be more aware of how you use electricity. We ask that you turn off the lights in the B&B when you leave so that you do not flatten the batteries. We can NOT offer you airconditioning or electric hair dryers in the bed and breakfast. If you feel that you need these luxuries, then you should stay in resort style accommodation.

We have designed both bed and breakfast cottages in a high-set Queenslander style to take advantage of the natural breezes. The windows in the B&B are floor to ceiling louvres to enable the breeze to flow right through the room and We have built light timber walls which do not store heat.

And best of all, we have built both bed and breakfast cottages so that they extends right up to the creek, and when the creek is flowing, the cool air provides a wonderful natural air conditioning system. So you are not living in a concrete box which needs to be air-conditioned.

Plan to stay at Cape Tribulation for at least 3-4 days. There is a lot to do and Cape Tribulation is also a great place to unwind and just relax. If you love the rainforest, are interested in rare and exotic tropical fruit and consider yourselves environmentally aware, we'd love to have you as our guests in the bed and breakfast!

Each cottage is able to accommodate two adults comfortably. It is possible to book one extra adult or one/two children, but the space is designed for two people and it does become a little cramped. Two children would need to share the double folding futon sofa bed. We regret that we do not take children under 6 years of age.

"The bed and breakfast cottage is surely one of the most appealing and unusual places we've stayed on our travels.

The fruit tray at breakfast is so elaborate and varied that it's almost intimidating, and as coffee-addicted Americans we especially appreciated the opportunity to brew 'real' coffee, so rare in Australian inns.

We've been struck throughout Australia by the hospitality and friendliness we've encountered, but Cape Trib Exotic Fruit Farm stands out even by Aussie standards."
