What a wonderful little cottage in the jungle, secluded, quiet, only the gentle running river and cicadas being the only sounds. What a fantastic bonus having the swimming hole and the bottom of the steps to cool off in during the day. Feel like our 2 day stay has been so much longer due to the total relaxation of our stay. Thank you....love your set up!

Lovely quiet hideaway for our Daintree long weeken
We stayed in the 2 person Cottage at Daintree Cascades and had a really lovely long weekend. The cottage fit out was functional, comfortable and everything we needed was there. The landscaping was really in keeping with the rain-forest setting and allowed easy access to the creek and cottage. Our photos of the cottage and creek were beautiful and indicative of the effort put into making something that is ordered to look natural.
