Wonderful Tropical Getaway
Loved our three nights in this wonderful house. All the amenities you need with wonderful views over the rainforest. Best of all worlds with nature and good internet coverage a bonus. Highly recommended. After a day checking the local attractions we settled in for a day reading and relaxing on the deck observing the bird life and butterflies.

Awesome property hidden away from it all & at one with nature
The property and understanding of property manager Dean, was exceptional. The off-grid property was exceptionally build and wooden charm design exceeded my expectations. It is a credit to the design and builder.

Relaxing in the trees,a read paradise.
My wife and i have travel a lot and stayed in many Stayz places since 2012..and I put my hand on my heard and say this had be the best for wh ast my wife and I were looking for for a real break and get ya i not value for money...we both felt very relaxed there and lots of things in the Daintree to see and do and all closeby. This property is all self contained kitchen wise and housewife...laying in bed an listening to rainforest birds was great and we did see 3 lots of wild cassorarys near her at different times on with a chick. My wife and i only regret is we didn't book longer..so we are talking of going back in the next 9 to 12 months... Tont and Marie

Picturesque
The property and surrounds were absolutely enchanting. After each day of exploring the Daintree, there was no better way to relax than sit on the deck with some wine and cheese and take in the serenity.
Looking forward to staying here again next time we visit.
