Stunning!
Three nights of bliss - we wish we'd booked longer! It was a beautifully relaxing few days after a busy couple of weeks in Cairns. The location is beautiful, walking distance to the beach. The kids enjoyed exploring the creek on the property, and it is close to other touristy places to explore. We saw cassowaries and a wild pig with piglets!

Breathtaking!
Kate's place is a rare find in one of the most beautiful places I've visited. The property is in a fantastic location with lush rainforest on all sides and a fantastic view of the coral sea. We were mesmerised! A 10 minute walk takes you to Cow Bay and on both days i visited i had the beach almost to myself! A stunning place! We cooked our own evening meals and found the kitchen had everything we needed. The propery is solar powered with gas for heating water and also the cooker. Used carefully, we had everything we needed. The beds were also very comfy. We would love to return one day! 😊

This was our second visit to Daintree Magic. It is a perfect base to explore the local area. Nestled in the rainforest, with ocean views and a stones throw to beautiful Cow Bay Beach. We really enjoyed our time here, and hope to return again.

At one with nature
Like home away from home, surrounded by rainforest and only the sounds of nature to accompany you. It is a beautiful home and so peaceful. A great base to explore all that the Cow-Bay to Cape Tribulation area has to offer. (I note that the property does not have the washing machine listed in the amenities but otherwise everything is as listed)

Cute cottage in beautiful surrounds
Very cute cottage with the most beautiful views, everything was really clean and tidy, the gardens were immaculate. We did have major issues with the power, it would turn off so many times and was impossible for all 5 of us to have a shower as the water would turn off. It also would have been nice to have wifi and a TV and an oven rather than cooking on the BBQ. I get that it was an eco-friendly place but it was not as relaxing with the water turning off and on all the time. As tidy and cute as the house was I would not come back to stay here, unfortunately. Had this issue not happened and we could use more power (we were so paranoid 5 of us would have 1 light on at a time at night!) and had more access to appliances (like an oven) then we would be back for sure.

Sensational!
We really enjoyed staying at Daintree Magic. I couldn't get enough of just soaking up the rainforest and it's changing moods while also enjoying the ocean view at this very tranquil and private location. The house was very clean, comfortable and has everything you need for a relaxing stay. The location was perfect for exploring the local area. Would love to return one day. We did run out of solar power, but it was easy to turn the generator on.

Another Great stay at Kate's place!!!
Went back to Kate's place again for more time out. This time around the weather was perfect so spent alot of our time at the beach enjoying the solitude of Cow Bay and doing a spot of fishing. Saw a huge lizard "on steroids"(as I call them) sunning itself in the garden and even a whale passing by. Just another great stay.

Simply magic
Wow- what an awesome home!! Within 5 minutes of arriving we rated this a 10/10. As locals from cairns,we just wanted a weekend away,off the grid and to just escape work for a while to relax and unwind. The house was immaculately presented and well catered for and had a very homely feel about it.The location- superb, up in the trees, quiet and gives the impression that you don’t have any neighbours because you just don’t hear anything. It was just awesome. Although it rained the whole time during our stay, we still both really enjoyed sitting out on the deck watching and listening to the rain and de-stressing.Even had a cassowary pay us a visit.
