Lovely house within a gorgeous location. We really enjoyed our stay here. I haven't slept so well in ages. Loved listening to the soundtrack of the forest from dawn to dusk. Cow Bay is a great place to stay. Totally recommend this home away from home.

Fabulous place to stay. Can’t fault it. Clean and tidy, comfy, and in your own little oasis of serenity! All the amenities you need for a long stay. Central area and easy to get to tourist attractions around Cape Trib or even a quick trip back across the river down to Mossman. Highly recommend.

Great location for Cape Trib experience

The house is very comfortable and well-equipped. We used it as a base to enjoy activities on Cape Trib - the Discovery Centre, walks, Reef trip. The house is further than we expected from dinner places, (except Crocodylus), with the Cow Bay Hotel now closed. So we did feel a little isolated. We walked to the exquisite beach a couple of times - an easy 20 mins away.

This was our last holiday in Australia before leaving after 10 years in Melbourne, so we needed some

This was our last holiday in Australia before leaving after 10 years in Melbourne, so we needed somewhere special. We stayed here for close to a week and it was the perfect choice! Lovely to come home to all the comforts you could need. Tina, the owner, lives on the adjacent block and gives you all the privacy you need yet is on-hand should you need advice or suggestions on what to see and do. It really was a pleasure to stay here and I hope we'll be back one day.

Tranquil Rainforest Retreat

We stayed for 4 nights in Tina's very cozy and peaceful home that was well equipped with everything we needed. Bed was comfy, good wifi signal, no telephone reception but that was a bonus as was falling asleep to the sounds of the rainforest. Location was about 40 minutes drive from Cape Tribulation along a scenic road where we had multiple cassowary sightings. Cow Bay itself is very close by and so are other small walks, eating places and the general store. Overall a great place to stay, would recommend and would love to come back. Do your shopping in Mossman or Port Douglas before you head over the river as supplies up north are very limited. Thanks Tina for your hospitality and responsiveness, such a magical place :)

Peaceful bungalow in the forest

We had a wonderful relaxing time staying here, soaking up the beauty and sounds of the forest wildlife. The house is lovely and comfortable, with an undercover area out the back which is great for sharing meals and relaxing. The location was great for exploring the area. Tina, the host was helpful and provides good info to enjoy and explore the area.
