Tea Tree Cottage Daintree

Tea Tree Cottage Daintree
Tea Tree Cottage is an elevated, pole-framed structure, nestled in the foothills of the majestic Thornton Peak; this mountain (1374 metres), sacred to the traditional owners, the Kuku Yalanji, and shrouded with mystery and legend, dominates the Daintree rainforest skyline.

Tea Tree Cottage, located midway between the Daintree River and Cape Tribulation (20 mins north), in an area of the Daintree Coast renowned for its biodiversity and uniqueness as a refuge for rare, ancient and endemic flora and fauna, is an ideal base for exploring the World Heritage-listed rainforest, the Daintree National Park and, the somewhat underplayed jewels of the Daintree Coast, the quiet, secluded and pristine beaches.

Flowing from the open-plan kitchen, dining and living rooms is a large, easterly-facing verandah providing expansive views across the Daintree Rainforest. The cottage takes further advantage of its elevated position by harnessing sea breezes enhanced by the anabatic influence of Thornton Peak.

Tea Tree Cottage is a leisurely 2-2.5hr drive from Cairns International Airport and a 1 hr drive north of the internationally recognised resort town of Port Douglas.

Whilst the property is fully self-contained, there is a choice of restaurants and cafes close by.

Tea Tree Cottage is also pet friendly.

Comfortably sleeping up to 5 guests the house consists of 2 bedrooms & 1 main bathroom (including cast iron claw-footed bath) with separate toilet.

Bedroom 1 has a Queen bed and bedroom 2 has a combination of Double and single bunk style. The mezzanine can used as a study, reading room or can accommodate a foldout bed for that extra guest. The large covered verandah provides an outdoor living / dining experience (with gas BBQ).

Location & Getting Here
The Tea Tree Cottage is located midway between the Daintree River and Cape Tribulation, a leisurely 2.5 hour drive north of Cairns International Airport or Cairns City.

Your journey begins by heading north out of Cairns along the Captain Cook Highway, a scenic highway that winds alongside the coast heading to Port Douglas and on to the Daintree National Park. Take in pristine sandy beaches and tropical rainforest - in a sense an experience just getting to your holiday destination.

Passing Port Douglas, your next township is Mossman, less than 30 kms from your destination. Once you have reached the Daintree River Ferry Crossing it's a scenic 18km drive through some of the oldest rainforest in the world.

Take the time to stop off at the Alexandra Range Lookout and take in the commanding views of the Coral Sea highlighted by prominent features such as Snapper island, the Low Isle and the mouth of the Daintree River.

If you wish to stop and shop for your provisions/essentials en route, the Smithfield Centre or Clifton Beach shopping complex, or Port Douglas IGA, are conveniently located along the highway.

Once your booking has been confirmed we will send you a more detailed map and directions to reach Tea Tree Cottage.
