    The private location was amazing, views of the the rainforest from every window. Loved the open plan living and the decking to sit out on. Paul our host was so friendly and accomodating, giving us local knowledge on places to see and eat.

Immerse yourself in the world's oldest living rainforest from the comfort of your luxury air-conditioned spa cabin. Our high set beautifully designed villa features floor to ceiling glass windows and an undercover deck area providing stunning views of your own private piece of Daintree Rainforest complete with crystal clear cascading creek. The self catering spa cabin is very privately situated on our 8 acre property in Cape Tribulation and is a 5 minute drive to beautiful wild beaches, swimming holes, restaurants and tours & activities. Relax and watch the butterflies flitting in the rainforest canopy from the double spa bath or enjoy a glass of champagne on the deck listening to the gentle sounds of the rainforest. Our luxury cabin provides a living area with LED TV & DVD, a kitchenette with 2 burner gas stove top, microwave, dishwasher and fridge with icebox, outdoor dining on the undercover deck area and a double rainshower with full glass wall. Your stay includes free (satellite) wifi and undercover parking. Choose from a Room Only rate or Breakfast Hamper & Extras (wine, taster chocolates, robes, slippers, eyemasks, bathsalts & tealights).
As an experienced traveller, I can see why people gravitate to the Cape Tribulation area. There's a relaxing style and completely private and romantic setting that BlackPalm retreat offers. You will leave BlackPalm feeling rejuvenated and not wanting to leave. From the Rainforest to the reef, there is a jurassic feel, with the two world heritage listed areas right at your doorstep. Come and explore Paradise.
Cape Tribulation is in the heart of the world's most ancient rainforest and the place where two World Heritage areas converge - this is where the rainforest meets the reef. A 2.5hr drive from Cairns on the coastal road will bring you to this paradise to enjoy palm fringed tropical beaches, lush rainforest and cascading creeks. There are lots of options for discovering the beauty & magic of this area. Explore the National Park rainforest walks, ride through jungle trails & along sandy beaches on horseback or fly through the rainforest canopy on ziplines. Experience remote beaches, waterfalls & steep mountain passes only accessible by 4WD or soak up the panoramic views of the coastal mountain range from the ocean on a kayak tour. Immerse yourself in the colourful world of the coral reefs or the darkness of the night in search of elusive nocturnal creatures & glowing fungi. Indulge your pallet with exotic fruit icecream and local produce at the restaurants, cafes & bistros. Or just relax and rejuvenate in the oldest rainforest in the world, where time stands still and nature takes charge. One things is for sure, with so much to see and do, you need to stay more than a day!
