  Excelente y con encanto

  El sitio es muy agradable y está en pleno Daintree National Park. El dueño es encantador, te da una linterna, te enseña las instalaciones alrededor y te acompaña a la habitación. No hay electricidad, porque es un parque nacional (usan paneles solares) y por la noche puede ser un poco complicado encontrarlo, no hay farolas ni carteles luminosos que indiquen donde está situado. Pero está pegando al lado de la carretera principal. (Aprovecha a mirar al cielo). No tiene servicio de restaurante, aunque sí hay alrededor algunos alojamientos a los que puedes ir a cenar, por supuesto a eso de las 7.pm (todos cierran a las 8 o antes). A uno de los restaurantes se puede ir andando, al resto tendrás que conducir 5-10 mins. IMP: Hay un río que hay que pasar para el que se necesita coger un ferry (AUD$24/coche ida/vuelta). Se tarda 1 min. en cruzarlo pero un poco más en montar el coche en el ferry. Si dudas entre quedarte en Mossman o en el parque natural, aunque Mossman parece interesante porque está lleno de aborígenes, el parque es la selva tropical más antigua del mundo y hay caminatas muy bonitas y unos preciosos animales llamados Cassawary, que nunca había visto. Lamentamos no habernos podido quedar algún día más para disfrutar de la tranquilidad del hotel, la piscina o la zona de la barbacoa.

  Very relaxing

  Very quiet, a good place to relax. The rooms were very clean, the owners most helpful and we appreciated the peace and quiet. The pool was a great bonus as the ocean and creeks cant be swum in at this time of the year.

  Great Place to Stay in The Daintree

  Enjoyed 5 nights here, comfortable and clean and great hosts, perfect location for exploring this beautiful part of the world. Nice pool and very relaxing place to stay would definitely recommend staying here, The Cow Bay Hotel across the road serves good meals or bbq facilities at the retreat are good.

  Gorgeous property, very comfortable & convenient

  Stayed 3 days recently, room was super comfortable and clean, with microwave, kettle, fridge, etc. We utilised the bbq facilities in the garden gazebo. The lovely host, Em gave us helpful tips and map of Daintree. We really loved the feel of this small motel/retreat. Of course, due to Covid the area was very quiet, and sadly some businesses were closed, but what a beautiful part of Australia.

  Tropical Rainforest Hideaway

  We had booked in to stay a few kms up the road in Diwan (Lync Haven) but a generator fault saw us book last minute here for $130 for one night in January (double room with 2 beds). We enjoyed our stay and rate the property below in terms of pros and cons: Pros Location in Cow Bay is excellent. The property is close to the Daintree Discovery Centre and Jindalba Walks, close to Floraville and Daintree Ice Cream Company and close to Hutchinsons Creek for swimming. You have two lovely hosts who like a chat and are happy to answer questions about the local area and things to do (note they have sold the property and will be transitioning to new owners in the future) Comfortable, well-appointed rooms opening out onto a forested courtyard that is quiet, natural and peaceful with sounds of the rainforest all around you Covered parking and a nice barbeque area to sit and gather with friends and family Cons There is no mobile phone reception in Cow Bay which means Wi-Fi is your only way of connecting to internet. Wi-Fi is provided but you need to travel down to the communal tea and coffee area to access as it doesnt travel up to the rooms. No air-conditioning in the rooms this wasnt a big issue for us on the day as it was not super-hot, but this may not always be the case; there were two fans in the room though which helped As this is essentially a motel, there is no restaurant or café included at the property so you will need to bring your own food or head to a nearby establishment. Cow Bay has limited options, however we found a place to have breakfast at Daintree Crocodylus nearby. Also, most of the Daintree tours leave from further up in Cape Tribulation (28km/35 mins) and whilst it is a magnificent drive it is also a long drive which you dont want to do up and back too many times. So if you have multiple tours booked over several days, it may be a better option to stay in Cape Tribulation. That said, the drive is through some of the oldest rainforest in the world and is great opportunity to spot cassowaries. We saw a male and his chick just after the Oliver Creek bridge not far from Cape Trib on one of our drives up.
