This place has beautiful surroundings and made me feel relaxed the moment walk-in. It is close to the Daintree Discovery Center and was a good base for exploring the Daintree and Cape Tribulation area. The host Matt knows everything in the area and made helpful itinerary suggestions. Would highly recommend this place.

Matt’s place is unreal - beautifully nesteld within the daintree rainforest ! We stayed in the cottage just 50 m from the main house and absolutely loved it. Saw a cassowary walk through the property and enjoy the fruit trees. The breakfast is delicious with all the different fruits and we enjoyed spending time with Matt and his friends over a glass of wine. Thank you so much for having us :) we will be back !

This is a good place to stay to visit the Daintree Forest and Cape Tribulation. This part of Australia is off the grid and lightly populated. Being in the tropics,, it has a rainy season so be aware it can rain a lot during the Australian summer with few people visiting during that time. We had 3 days of sun so we were able to take advantage of the rainforest discover center and board walks without rain as well as empty beaches. Also be aware that this is crocoodile country so you can not go into the water at all except for two swimming holes in rivers.
