Daintree Cascades is an incredible venue. The Roundhouse is stunning and we'll equipped. Staying by a crystal clear creek in the wet tropics and one of the oldest rainforests in the world is a privilege. I found the house incredibly clean for its remote environment. Thanks to James and Ali.

Michelle Australia

An incredible 1 bedroom cottage in the middle of the rainforest with access to natural pool and waterfall. Easy to get once crossed the daintree river.

The house is in a stunning location right in the middle of the rainforest. A perfect place to be in nature, relax and unwind.

William Australia

Beautiful location! It was very comfortable, everything you needed including your own private swimming hole.

Samara Australia

Absolute personal access to spectacular rainforest creek. Responsiveness of host to enquiries. Directions to property were clear and location was central to sites we visited. Spotlessly clean an excellently maintained. Property was environmentally green with its own hydro plant and solar. External fireplace with wood provided (though too damp to light).

  • Hi, is there an outdoor bath/ spa or shower? As our anniversary is at the end of May, would the swimming holes water be too cold? Thanks.
    Hi, unfortunately we do not have an outdoor shower/bath. I find I am able to swim comfortably all year round but I am used to the water temperature. Its cool but lovely.
    Answered on 8 January 2022
  • Hi there, We are looking to come to the Daintree in August. Being the dry season, will the creek be flowing to swim? Thanks.
    hi, there is definitely less water that time of year but the creek should be flowing enough to be able to swim, we have never had the creek dry up. kind regards Ali
    Answered on 17 March 2022
  • Hi there, does the cottage have air con? If not, what is the temperature in July at the cottage? Thanks Samara
    Hi, neither of the houses have aircon but we do have state of the art ceiling fans that work perfectly well to keep you cool. The Daintree has quite a moderate climate in the middle of the year with average temperatures ranging from 21-25 degrees C.
    Asked about: One-Bedroom Cottage • Answered on 9 March 2021
  • Is there a fire place in the one bedroom cottage?
    There is an outdoor wood fire BBQ available at both houses.
    Answered on 24 June 2020
  • Is the cottage air conditioned? Also are there laundry facilities available at the property?
    We do not have air-conditioning at the property. We do however have very effective ceiling fans that work perfectly well. We do not have laundry facilities but there is a public laundry at the rainforest village campground (5 minute drive away).

Host Information

Host review score
Nowhere else in Australia will you find such abundant, pure, crystal clear, ancient water flowing so close to your accommodation. We offer such a unique property that even in the Daintree Rainforest no other accommodation can boast a private, safe freshwater creek steps from the front door. We are surrounded by world heritage rainforest with no other properties upstream from us and positioned resting within the 3rd hightest mountain in Queensland.
We are a married couple excited to share with our guests a property that cannot be found elsewhere on the planet. James works as an engineer and is devoted to creating a highly eco friendly property starting with a self made Hydro-electricity plant to power both houses only harnessing the green energy from the continuously flowing private creek. Alison is a nurse but has her roots in the hospitality industry and strives to create a comfortable, functional and homely place for guests to truly feel that they have arrived at their home away from home.
The Daintree Area is an untouched wilderness for you to adventure through. There are lots of activities to enjoy, from snorkeling on the Great Barrier Reef to flying through the canopy on a zip line at Jungle Surfing. The local people are very friendly and wont hesitate to help with anything from suggestions on what to do, to a dry towel when you have been caught in a tropical downpour.
