About this property
Luxury rainforest eyrie with panoramic views
A modern, tropical home without peer in the immediate area. Set on 3 acres of rainforest-style gardens in the Mossman Ranges, this house offers absolute privacy and is your very own, self-contained tropical holiday resort, with views from Double Island to Cape Kimberly and beyond. The space Arriving through gates and continuing up the winding driveway will give you a sample of the abundant wildlife and plant species you’ll be spending your holiday with. And as you open the front door to your tropical hideaway you’re greeted by an open living-kitchen-dining area that extends out to a breathtaking view of the pool and rainforest beyond. With seamless and spacious indoor/outdoor living areas you’ll be living the good life.
The master bedroom has a king bed, ensuite with double shower, walk in wardrobe and its own tropical garden retreat. Also in the western end of the home is another bedroom with triple bunk beds and a separate study.
Two Queen bedrooms with pool views and ample closet space are situated at the eastern end of the home. As well as another bedroom with triple bunk beds, the spacious laundry room, a separate toilet and a large family bathroom.
The outdoor entertaining area is certainly something to be amazed by, boasting several sitting areas for you to laze by the huge free form pool. And the dining area provides enough space for at least 10 people to dine under the beautiful thatched cabana roof, as well as a large BBQ, benches and sink so you can cook and dine amongst the rainforest. All of this suspended over the rainforest with spectacular views from Double Island to Cape Kimberly and beyond from every position.
There's an outdoor fire pit and firewood for hanging out by the fire or toasting some marshmallows.
There are 2 indoor bathrooms (including master ensuite) each with double showers and one outdoor toilet/shower.
If you need to do some work there is an office/study, which can comfortably accommodate 2-3 people simultaneously - complete with rainforest views and high speed internet.
There is ample parking on site, with three undercover car spaces including within the lock up garage.
NBN (high speed internet) and netflix Guest access 15 minutes to Port Douglas 5 minutes to Mossman Gorge 1 hour and 10 mins from Cairns airport 2 golf courses within 20 mins 5 mins to Mossman shops and local hospital.
An ideal place to stay to see the Great Barrier Reef and Daintree Rainforest Other things to note There is a moat at the front door and in the master-suite’s outdoor area, so small children should be supervised if the doors are left open.
Additionally, you are in the jungle! Always remember that if you leave the doors and windows open there is a chance local wildlife will enter the house.

We stayed here for a family holiday with 9 of us. This house was perfect for everyone to have heaps of space for sleeping, chilling and playing. A beautiful quiet location with a lovely view but close to essentials for food shopping. We opted to cook up over eating out and had everything we needed. A short drive to port Douglas and easy to drive from Cairns. Thank you very much for a great stay.
The driveway alone is an adventure in itself. It winds up thru the rainforest to a very secluded home nestled in the forest. The kitchen that opens to the outside is really cool and the pool and patio area are very beautiful.

Easy check in/out. Beautiful scenery and location. Ample space for our family gathering.Unfortunately the dryer was broken along with an airconditioner.
A great venue for a family birthday ( 80th) celebration. Easy access to local attractions - Mossman Gorge, Port Douglas for reef cruise and dining, Cairns for Kuranda train and sky rail, Cape Tribulation for magnificent rainforest, etc, etc. These visits were topped off by the facilities of the rental - good pool, bbq, outdoor dining, and general relaxation.
We had such a great family reunion. Thank you Max!

It would have been excellent except for the disaster on arrival. The house was open, no keys in lock box, beds unmade, messes everywhere including dried vomit, smelly fish guts outside, mosquitoes through open house, dirty dishes, BBQ a mess, etc. There was apparently a mixup with the normally reliable cleaner not aware we were arriving Jan 2 (booked and paid six months ahead) and the owner couldn’t reach her for hours. The owner was apologetic and gave us a one night refund (not including fees) but it doesn’t feel like enough given the extreme disappointment and inconvenience, with our group having to do hours of cleaning to make the place liveable while we prepared a special 80th birthday dinner. The cleaner finally arrived and improved the place but the damage was done after many months of anticipation of this family gathering. And we never did get keys to the place, the previous renter still had them which was a security issue.In spite of the problems, our family rallied and did their best to focus on the many positive aspects of this accommodation. It has beautiful views and rainforest landscaping, a lovely pool and other nice features, and is only a short drive to Mossman Gorge and Port Douglas.
