Awesome for adult family

The unit is really good for a family or group of adults. With four bedrooms and a big living area it was ideal for us and our adult children. Quiet neighborhood with room outside in the garden as well. With a good kitchen we could spend our money on tourist activities, not on restaurant meals every night. You will need a car to go sightseeing or shopping, but the journey is fairly quick. Rodney (the host) was helpful with local knowledge.

About the host

Hosted by Rodney & Evelyn Ingersoll

We love meeting people. We are a family friendly married couple, seeking to create memories by inviting guests into our home. We enjoy meeting people, learning new cultures & about different countries, traditions etc.

Rods from Australia, Evelyn is from Papua New Guinea. We love Cairns tropical environment and happy to share our knowledge with guests.

We love inviting guests into our home and have met so many wonderful people travelling this great country. We have had over 150 groups through and dozens of individuals and we really know what you need and do our best to provided it eg tourist information, bus timetables, toiletries, beach towels, sunscreen, airport transfers, maps, books, bush walks, waterfalls, lookouts, family spots etc.

Why they chose this property

We strive to be a Sustainable home (not green wash) and are very environmentally minded with solar power for energy, permaculture gardens and grow our own fresh organic vegetables, have chickens for fresh eggs, farm Barramundi and Jade Perch in our Aquaponics system, native bees & fruit trees. The house if fully fenced with a massive back yard. Kangaroos and Wallabies and exotic birds and butterflies visit us every day from nearby bushland.

Also 5 mins drive from the house is one of the most popular train stations for the historic Kuranda Train. Kuranda is well worth a visit and you can either drive, take the train or do the Skyrail. The Skyrail is a gondola trip over the rainforest that takes you from the bottom of the range to the top where you can check out all the great things to see in Kuranda. Of course there are all of the tours going out to reef and up to the Daintree which are also on offer in town. You can easily book these tours or go for a drive yourself up to the Daintree and see all the attractions on the way up. It is a lovely drive and you can always stop in at Port Douglas on your way up or back.

Also we offer you an exclusive Barramundi Farm tour if you would like to hook your own Barra and cook it on the BBQ either on farm or take it back to our home to cook it later.

What makes this property unique

We are more than happy to share our local knowledge and point you in the right direction or be your tour guide and take you to our favorite spots. We often have campfires outside and cook marshmallows on the open fire, BBQ's and your free to join us. We have local knowledge where the fish are, lookouts, rainforest bushwalks, cycle ways etc. We are an adventurous family and love getting out and about. If you chip in for fuel we can even include you in our family adventures. As an Environmental guy- Rod can lead you on spotlighting tours into National Parks, bush walks, bird watching trips, frog, crocodile spotting, mammal, insect and reptile spotlights, if you want to explore the world heritage national parks (must be pre arranged for when Rods available). Rod takes many guests on private tours to suit guests needs.

We have set our backyard up with an abundance of food growing. We have 7 separate aquaponics systems, fruit trees and permaculture gardens. Rod teaches Aquaponics and features our backyard in his online training programs, you tube channel and courses. see: https://www.aquaponicgardener.com.au for more info.

Our house is in a rural residential setting in a new exclusive estate with majestic views of mountains in every direction (yet so close to town). Expect to see Birds, Butterflies, Lizards and Kangaroos and heaps of wildlife at our house. We currently have sun birds, willi wagtails and doves nesting in our trees. There are wallabies and kangaroos feeding on grass outside everyday as well. We are constantly planting new tropical food gardens to attract wildlife and improve our property. We have recently planted the entire boundary for privacy and plants are growing quickly.
