About this property

Stay near nature, close to Port Douglas and Mossman. Pet-Friendly!

It's a spacious home ideal for families or friends, a wonderful place to introduce children to nature and farm animals, and a romantic getaway for couples. Plus, it's conveniently located near the Barrier Reef, Mossman Gorge, and Daintree Rainforest.

This distinctive cottage is nestled on 21 acres of land, encompassing roughly one-third rainforest and two-thirds open grasslands.

We inhabit this stunning parcel of land alongside a diverse array of animals, ranging from large and small domesticated creatures to native wildlife passing through. The dam situated in front of the cottage draws a wide variety of birds. Additionally, there are fenced sections designated for horses, cattle, and sheep.

Ideal for couples, families, and friends seeking a tranquil retreat to relax and explore the surrounding area.

The house
Your accommodation is an entire house with its own private entrance. We reside 70 meters away on the same property in a separate house, sharing the driveway.
Near the cottage, the dam is fenced for sheep but is not suitable as a pool for children who cannot swim.
For your convenience, the cottage features a plunge pool, which is safe for swimming and is crafted from a concrete water tank. Alternatively, you can enjoy a refreshing swim in natural freshwater holes just over 1.5km from the front gate.
The cottage boasts a fully equipped kitchen upstairs and a kitchenette downstairs, complete with a fridge, microwave, toaster, and kettle. This setup is perfect for accommodating two couples comfortably.


Upstairs
• The main bedroom is open-plan, overlooking the lounge and dining area, featuring a king-sized bed and a private balcony. Bathroom access is from the living area.
• The second bedroom is private, with its own bathroom and air conditioning. It includes two single beds that can be joined together to form a king-sized bed.
• The main bedroom, lounge, kitchen, and dining areas are air-conditioned for your comfort.
• The kitchen is fully equipped for cooking, complete with a dishwasher, microwave, and Nespresso coffee machine. The indoor dining table comfortably seats 6 guests.
• Outside on the veranda, there is dining space for 6 people as well.
• The lounge area features a 50-inch smart TV for entertainment.
• Direct access to the pool is available from the veranda at this level.


Downstairs:

Guest Access: You have full access to the cottage and its gardens. Additionally, there's a walking track at the back of the property leading to an ocean view and Snapper Island.

Interaction with Guests: If we're unable to meet you upon arrival, we'll visit shortly afterward. We're always reachable by phone if you need anything.

Other Things to Note: You may encounter some of our farm animals during your stay. Most are enclosed, but chickens and peacocks roam freely. If you're interested in meeting the larger animals, we can arrange a feeding time for you.

Dogs are welcome on the veranda, which is gated at both ends. However, the property is not fenced. As we have free-range chickens and peacocks, dogs must always be on a lead and under control. They cannot be left unattended on the property, and barking should be kept to a minimum.

Another fantastic stay!
This was our second time staying at this house and again it was amazing. It is in a great location close to Port Douglas, Mossman and the Daintree. The house is a great place to relax in a peaceful setting, very clean and owners are lovely and there if you need anything during your stay. We will certainly be back again. Thank you

Beautiful peaceful spot
We had a lovely stay, it is a fantastic house and has everything you need, very spacious and very clean. Great spot to relax, unwind and do nothing but chill for a few days. We brought our dog and there was great area for her to play. It is in a great location in Shannnovale not far from Port Douglas and has a creek only 5min away to swim. Will certainly be back very soon. Only disappointment was with stayz they took our money and confirmed the booking with us but never informed the owner that we had booked. We were lucky that we contacted the owner the day before and she was so lovely and thankfully the property was still available for these dates.

We had a great stay. The property is peaceful and private and the house is spacious. All the amenities you could possibly need were supplied by the hosts. The plunge pool was wonderful in the hot weather. We are looking forward to a return visit.

Lovely spot
The house is even nicer than the photos show. Extremely well set up, comfortable and convenient. We loved the views, nice walks straight from the house and excellent birding as a bonus. The owners are easy to work with and welcoming. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
