About this property

Daintree Magic Vacation Home

Daintree Magic is the closest accommodation to the beach. It is an exclusive, self contained holiday house, secluded deep in the heart of the Daintree Rainforest. Boasting spectacular ocean views of the Coral Sea, it is only a short stroll to the beach. Fully equipt with open plan kitchen, dining and lounge rooms, three bedrooms, two breezey verandas, spa bath with sea views, and much more this perfect escape sleeps up to eight.
There is a King bed, Queen bed, 2 single bed, and a huge, long lounge for sleeping. All rooms have beautiful sea breezes and lovely views. There are 2 lounge rooms, one at the front of the house fronting onto the beautiful verander, with a fire place and TV, and another lounge/ dining room, with an amazing long built in sofa lounge along two of the walls. This room also has a table and bench seats and draws with games, books and a few toys. There is a bathroom off the back verander and a large corner bath on the front verander, great for kids to play in or a romantic hot tub. Enjoy the sound of the waves and the ocean views from the hammock and the bath on the front verander.
There is a family sized Webber BBQ and a pizza stone to go in it, on the back verander and some cleaning equiptment as well.
It is a lovely 8-10 min walk down to the beach or a 1 min drive. Cow Bay beach is beautiful and clean, with crystal clear water is good weather. At low tide you can walk to the north and get to the 4th beach, over a little headland or if it is low enough wade around the rocks. There are gorgeous rock pools with seaweeds, crabs and fish along the coastal edge, great for exploring.
If you are into rock hopping you can walk to the south, about 20 mins over the rocks to Calf Bay, a spectacular little cove just south of Cow Bay, with no road access. Well worth the walk.
There are a few great fresh water swimming holes, Hutchinson Creek is a locals favourite, behind Mason's store and below the Heritage Lodge, (if you have lunch there, they let you use the swimming hole.) This one is known as the "Blue Hole" and crystal clear and blue to swim in.
Take a drive up to Cape Tribulation, enjoy some of the boardwalks along the way and check out the beaches, they are amazing.
This whole area is so spectacular, with ample tours to take or lots to explore yourself.

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!

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)
