Set in Cow Bay, Wompoo Eco Retreat offers bungalows with views of the mountain ranges from the comfort of your bedroom and bathroom. This 5-star bed and breakfast offers a tour desk.

The hosts were so welcoming and kind, they met us right when we arrive with huge smiles on their faces. They took the time to give us local recommendations and share more about their property. We were extremely impressed with each unit, from the photos we didn’t realize our group with 2 couples would get their own unit including an outdoor shower and bathroom, outdoor kitchen and soaking tub. We enjoyed the fresh fruit, local tea and muesli while overlooking the rainforest and looking at the birds. We had a phenomenal stay and only wish we could’ve stayed longer.

What a great property! So much space, tastefully decorated with beautiful art, appointed with everything you can possibly need, beautiful gardens, and views over the treetops out to Cow Bay. We spent most of our time on the expansive deck taking it all in.

Frank - the owner - went above and beyond to make sure we were looked after. The house has to be seen to be believed - it was just fabulous. Fully kitted out with everything you could possibly need for a home stay. The view was to die for. We really felt like we were in our own little world and had such a great time - we’ll definitely be back.

    While my stay was short, it was absolutely idyllic. 8 checked in late as I had come off a dive boat so had warned the hotel. Craig was still available and welcomed me to the property, providing all necessary details. The bedding was pristine and room with mozzy net was lovely. I was up early ready to jet on to hikes, etc and Craig took the time to provide recommendations and must-sees. His haste and knowledge were both very much appreciated. My only wish is that my trip did not have to be so abbreviated but c’est la vie.

    The location in Cow Bay is amazing. A house amongst the Daintree! The facilities are awesome with all you need to make your stay fun. The great room upstairs is perfect for a get together and excellent WiFi all throughout the house. The open plan and open living brings you close to nature. Clean and tidy. Easy to find. A great spot to relax and unwind or set up base camp. Pictures don't do this justice as to how amazing this house is. Better than Glamping!!

    We highly recommend staying at Cow Bay Homestead. The host, the atmosphere, other guests were all really lovely. The location is special, an idyllic getaway as there is no reception nor internet. Marion provided us with a map and gave us lots of information about the various attractions, places to go and things to do. We were able to walk around the lovely grounds too, if only we had the time!!

    This is our third stay at Crocodylus, always an enjoyable time, clean, super comfortable beds, love falling asleep to the sounds of wildlife in the rainforest. It is also worth getting up early to go down and watch the sun rise at Cow Bay. The food served is delicious, definitely recommend the sticky date pudding, best I have ever tasted! Always great getting back into nature, we will be back……
