CAPE TRIBULATION GETAWAY INVITES YOU TO DISCONNECT FROM THE EVERYDAY AND RECONNECT WITH SOMETHING DEEPER.
This is where Sir David Attenborough once said: “It is like nowhere else on Earth”. Right here in this place, is where the Daintree Rainforest tumbles down to meet the Coral Sea and Great Barrier Reef.
It’s a place to escape. Where the rainforest surrounds you, dominating the landscape with its towering mountains and hidden valleys, creating a tapestry of green. Here you can breathe in the mountain air and listen to the forest as it comes alive, while soaking up the views and the serenity.
From your front door, it’s minutes to sandy beaches, lush jungle trails, mangrove estuaries and coral reef adventures. You can do it all or simply relax in a home that lets you absorb it from every angle. On the deck, in the pool, from the comfy couch, or the plunge bath – this is your Cape Tribulation Getaway, your time to escape.
This house was purposefully designed to open itself to the beauty of its environment, connecting people and place in elegant, natural surrounds.
The open plan living and dining area flows into a fully equipped kitchen, perfect for preparing tropical feasts. Expansive shaded decks optimise outdoor living, as does the addition of a BBQ, while the private pool is ideal for cooling off or soaking in the rays on the sundeck. This Cape Tribulation Getaway has everything you need for an idyllic stay.
The two bedrooms take full advantage of the house’s spectacular setting and are thoughtfully positioned to frame nature and provide beautiful views.
The Sunrise Room is elevated on the second, loft-style floor of the house, positioned to catch the first light over the ocean and wake up gently with birdsong. While the Mountain View Room looks west to the rainforest peaks, where tiny dragon lizards climb trees, and the boom of the endangered Southern Cassowary calls out through the leaves. The Cape Tribulation Getaway house can comfortably accommodate up to 4 guests.
Whether you are here to relax or explore the secrets of the Daintree Rainforest and Great Barrier Reef, this location has it all and every experience is within easy reach.
