Daintree Rainforest Retreat is perfectly located in the centre of the Daintree Coast, 11kms north of the Daintree River Crossing, in the heart of the beautiful rainforest in an area known as Cow Bay (named after the Sea Cows or Dugongs that graze on the sea grass meadows in the bay). It is truly a beautiful part of the Daintree, rich in rare flora & fauna, from the most colourful butterflies, to the endangered cassowary, Australia’s second largest bird. Get away from the crowded beaches of the south, stretch out on the pristine golden sands to add to your tan or sit back and enjoy the scenery under a shady tree only metres from the water.

Enjoy a 4WD Tour or Night Tour of the Rainforest, take in some Croc Spotting or venture further to Cooktown.
