Resort Accommodation  - a unique hideaway for nature, nuture and culture.

Only 15 tranquil rainforest villas occupy secluded positions amongst the world's oldest living rainforest... reinforcing the impression of being "at  one with nature" yet still providing all the creature comforts of a boutique retreat.

The site is important in the local culture. The property was occupied by forefathers of the Kuku Yalanji people and used as a resting place as it provided spring water, an abundance of edible and medicinal plants, fauna, bathing holes, protection from harsh weather conditions and is adjacent to the majestic Daintree River.

The Aboriginal guides couple this cultural information with botanical and wildlife information on an Indigenous Guided Rainforest Walk to special places with healing powers significant to women, highlighting bush medicines and foods, traditional life and history. Our guides also share their personal stories with you.
