The breakfast Marion made everyday was delicious. The location was right in the heart of the rainforest so was able to sleep and wake to the wonderful sounds of the jungle.
It’s location in the rainforest - Marion was lovely, providing great breakfast each morning and local tour advice. Had our own cassowary to watch whilst there
We woke up to a cassowary right in front of our bedroom window. It was absolutely amazing, great place if you want to disconnect from your busy life for a while and just read a book. Can't wait to go back!
We had a great stay at Marion's place. The B&B is beautiful, set in the middle of the rainforest. We enjoyed seeing a cassowary and its baby cross the lawn while we were having breakfast one morning, and sitting out watching the stars at night. Marion gave lots of great tips on what to do and was very flexible and hospitable. The room was very comfortable, and there is a spacious communal area for relaxing in.
Wonderful host, Marion gave us fantastic local tips, a delicious breakfast every morning and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in her rainforest haven!
I loved the beautiful location & serenity. Marion was a wonderful host. We were also lucky to see a cassowary wandering by at the back of the property!
Marion was an excellent host. Beautiful home in a wonderful setting.
Set in a quirky rainforest garden with a lovely outlook, where you could sit for hours listening to the huge cast of native bird calls. Marian our host was delightful and engaging, sharing her knowledge of the area and recommendations for Daintree tours etc. A short 3 min drive to Cow Bay beach, which is secluded, expansive and lined with coconut palms. Just sublime! We were especially appreciative of Marian’s home style hospitality and gorgeous breakfast.
This is a special place. A beautiful big house which we had to ourselves. Marion was lovely to chat to and couldn’t do enough. Cow Bay is a really beautiful beach and one of our favourite places in the Daintree. The total darkness and peace is a shock but it was so amazing and we all slept like the dead! Loved our stay and a great base for exploring the Daintree area.
Perfect location, super clean and peaceful place.

The blending of modern comfort in a untouched unique rain forest setting. This is the Daintree Rainforest. Peaceful and serene, but lots of activities close by. Sit in your lounge with open bifold doors for unrestricted views into the garden or relax on the deck or take a walk through the garden and the small trails on the property. Discover butterflies, birds, dragon flies, beetles.... listen to the 'silence' of crickets..... Browse our books or catch up on information on our area. The rooms have insect screens, comfortable queen size bed, with quality linen. Polished timber floors, fan and air conditioner for the summer months. We clean with 'HaRa' chemical free products.
We used to come visiting here to camp and fish, swim and take out the boat. It is a unique area with the rainforest meeting the reef on the beaches. Beautiful fresh water creeks and a tropical climate. Lots of birds and unusual animals. My fascination still is the Cassowary. The peace and quiet is touchable and relaxing. There is plenty do and explore by your self or with locally guided tours. The snorkelling on the reef off Cape Tribulation is fantastic in its diversity and you share it with a small group or other visitors.
Cow Bay has the biggest population north of the Daintree River except you could think no one lives here. Most houses are tucked into the forest away from views from the road. There are some unique designs in houses around here and the general them is to capture comfortable living in a tropical environment, meaning open plan spaces catching the breeze and offering uninterrupted views in the forest or garden. Most businesses here have been operating for a long time and offer great products from ice cream to tours, restaurants, cafes, or Rainforest information, like the Discovery Centre. Local residents work in most of them and are always complimented for their enthusiasm and great customer care. We love living here and we love sharing this with the visitors.
