It's a spacious home ideal for families or friends, a wonderful place to introduce children to nature and farm animals, and a romantic getaway for couples. Plus, it's conveniently located near the Barrier Reef, Mossman Gorge, and Daintree Rainforest.
This distinctive cottage is nestled on 21 acres of land, encompassing roughly one-third rainforest and two-thirds open grasslands.
The space
We inhabit this stunning parcel of land alongside a diverse array of animals, ranging from large and small domesticated creatures to native wildlife passing through. The dam situated in front of the cottage draws a wide variety of birds. Additionally, there are fenced sections designated for horses, cattle, and sheep.
Ideal for couples, families, and friends seeking a tranquil retreat to relax and explore the surrounding area.
The house
Your accommodation is an entire house with its own private entrance. We reside 70 meters away on the same property in a separate house, sharing the driveway.
Near the cottage, the dam is fenced for sheep but is not suitable as a pool for children who cannot swim.
For your convenience, the cottage features a plunge pool, which is safe for swimming and is crafted from a concrete water tank. Alternatively, you can enjoy a refreshing swim in natural freshwater holes just over 1.5km from the front gate.
The cottage boasts a fully equipped kitchen upstairs and a kitchenette downstairs, complete with a fridge, microwave, toaster, and kettle. This setup is perfect for accommodating two couples comfortably.

Other things to note
You may encounter some of our farm animals during your stay. Most are enclosed, but chickens and peacocks roam freely. If you're interested in meeting the larger animals, we can arrange a feeding time for you.
Dogs are welcome on the veranda, which is gated at both ends. However, the property is not fenced. As we have free-range chickens and peacocks, dogs must always be on a lead and under control. They cannot be left unattended on the property, and barking should be kept to a minimum.
