Self contained eco accommodation in Cape Tribulation

daintree accommodation and sculpture trail

Daintree accommodation comes in many different styles but Rainforest Hideaway is probably the most unique and memorable.
We have been providing accommodation in Cape Tribulation since July 2000 and thousands of adventurous travellers have enjoyed their stay here deep inside the ancient Daintree rainforest.
If you are looking for some Daintree accommodation with a difference then Rainforest Hideaway is the perfect choice; peace and quiet and a relaxing stay are assured with only three rooms and a maximum of six guests.

The whole place has been painstakingly handcrafted over the last 26 years, from the accommodation and the furniture to the sculptures, which can be found in the rainforest around the house on the jungle trails.
This unique Daintree accommodation offers you the amazing experience to sleep right inside the oldest rainforest in the world, surrounded by mysterious sounds, and would you believe it, no mosquitoes at night!

We cater for the adventurous traveller with off-the-grid non-pretentious eco-accommodation all rooms have outdoor showers and basic cooking facilities.
While many resorts pretend to be in the rain forest but are somewhere near it, we are in it! They also pretend to be eco-friendly while running big diesel generators for aircons and other luxuries, we run on solar power (with small back up generator when needed) and source our water from rain and creek.
Others often call their cabins treehouses when they are raised off the ground a bit, but we have a real treehouse!
And to add to this, we are one of the very few, if not the only Daintree accommodation, with free WiFi internet for our guests!

Please view the video play list below if you are not convinced yet that this is the most memorable Daintree accommodation.

Rainforest Hideaway gets regular visits from cassowaries.

Rainforest Hideaway is ideally located in the heart of the Daintree right in Cape Tribulation, within walking distance of your accommodation you will find unspoilt beaches, National Park boardwalks, hiking trails, shops, bar and restaurants.

Rainforest Hideaway currently offers two bungalows next to the house with amazing open air bathrooms, and for the even more adventurous travellers a self contained jungle treehouse.

Rainforest Hideaway is the perfect choice for those who do not like staying at resorts, this is your chance to stay with local people who own and run their own small business in an eco-friendly way and can give you a feel of what it is like to live off-grid in a remote rain forest.
We believe in eco-tourism and like to host people who share our beliefs.
Eco-tourism is more than buying some green cleaning products, it also means you as an eco-tourist should spend your money so that is stays with local people in the local area and not support global multi-nationals.
15% of your booking can either be paid as commission to support the share price of a multinational company, or keeping your money locally by booking direct with us.

Cape Tribulation is easily reached by normal car from Cairns (140 km/2.5 hrs)
and Port Douglas (70 km/1.5 hrs) and there are also bus services which will drop you off at most Daintree accommodation.
Don't worry about a boring 140 km. drive. The road from Cairns to Cape Tribulation is called the Great Barrier Reef Drive, a spectacular scenic coastal drive hugging deserted tropical beaches and surrounded by two World Heritage areas.

Allow some time to explore the Rainforest Hideaway Sculpture Trail...

Most local tours offer free pickups from your Cape Tribulation accommodation;
Great Barrier Reef snorkeling tours, jungle surfing, guided rainforest walks, horse riding tours, exotic fruit tasting tours, crocodile spotting, birdwatching, mountain biking, etc.
But for those wanting to take it easier, Rainforest Hideaway has ample places to relax on the verandahs or on the sculpture trail, and you will most likely meet some of the local wildlife; birds, goannas, frogs and the cassowary!
