Ten reasons why you should choose our bed and breakfast accommodation when you stay at Cape Tribulation .......

Each cottage is a great space just to sit around and relax, with a big verandah and a view of the creek and Mt Sorrow.

We are close to the Cape Tribulation village and the beach is only 10 minutes walk via the shortcut - with no steep hills.

Each cottage is a separate architect designed cottage 50 metres from the nearest building, not a room in the house or under the house, so you have privacy.

Each cottage is on the edge of the rainforest , so you get cool breezes plus sunlight, and a private walking trail.

There are only two cottages - it is not guesthouse accommodation - at any time there will only be one other guest booking, so you will be 'looked after'.

We provide you with a luxurious breakfast including exotic tropical fruit - served on the verandah of the bed and breakfast.

We have lived here 14 years - we know Cape Tribulation local area well, and can help you plan your days, so that you get the most out of your stay at Cape Tribulation.

You interact with us personally, as the hosts and owners - not employees. We enjoy the company of our guests and welcome the opportunity to get to know you over drinks in the evening.

We have not cleared rainforest to build the B&B cottages have been built on existing clearings.

And best of all - our rainforest is special, and will be protected forever.

 

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.

 

 

READ WHAT PREVIOUS BED AND BREAKFAST GUESTS HAVE TO SAY
Make sure you visit our Highlights page to read some extracts from our guestbook and find out why their stay with us in the B&B accommodation was so memorable.

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.
