  • Description

    Description

    We have a tiny cabin hidden in the middle of the rainforest. And a bigger cabin next door. We try to build stuff with minimum impact on the amazing environment around us. And enjoy it. Our neighbour is World Heritage listed Daintree National Park.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We love the trees and and wildlife (including the humans) but it is so diverse we find new things. There is always something unknown. Fun with languages and food. Exploring the rainforest. Engaging with the local community or just time for yourself. Four bicycles to share. We can show you places we love. Hike up the creeks, beach with crocodiles, find swimming holes without crocodiles or tourists, great ice cream on the way. If you're into plants, animals or rocks, this is the place to be.

  • Help

    Help

    Enthusiasm and love for the rainforest guides our projects. We try for minimal impact while we work on improving our simple accommodation and at the same time preserve the area around us. In a rainforest, the list is endless: Small building projects, some bigger projects, building pathways to the creeks, propagating and planting trees, and also the fun job of cleaning and maintenance. We make up projects as we go. Bring whatever skills and passions you have. We have the shovels, wheelbarrows, paint brushes and enough tools to express your creativity.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    Separate cabin with kitchen, bathroom/laundry and huge veranda facing into the rainforest. We can also accommodate camping and camper vans. Everything off grid but we have internet. No dietary restrictions except we don't like too much salt. Good to share meals but you can also do your own thing. Property is non smoking and naturist friendly.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    This is the most wonderful place in a part of an ancient forest just a few hours north of Cairns in tropical North Queensland. Mossman Gorge and Port Douglas (if you need a tourist fix) are half way in between. Cape Tribulation is not far north. Boat from Cape Trib to go snorkeling on the Great Barrier Reef (but you have to pay for that). Walk along the Cow Bay beaches. Sunrise and full moon rise over the ocean. Plenty to explore and find. We love to share what we know and explore new places with our visitors. We have no lifestyle demands or expectations beyond being friendly and respectful of each other.
