Your hosts at Rainforest Hideaway are Rob and Aruni.

Rob grew up around the famous cheesetown of Gouda in the Netherlands, but after finishing school and militairy service got restless, travelled to a few different countries looking for more space, adventure, opportunities and better climate, and finally found it in Australia.

After many years of travels Rob finally settled down in Cape Tribulation in 1993.
He had never built a house before, only a coffee table and a pergola, but he figured any idiot can cut bits of wood to the right length and then nail the ends together, and so Rainforest Hideaway came to be.

Aruni originates from Thailand where she picked up her spicy cooking and Thai massage skills.
Cape Trib is a good second home to her with similar climate to Thailand and she has established a vegie garden, revived the tropical fruit orchard on the property, and she does traditional Thai massage in the gazebo by the big fishpond in Rainforest Hideaway.

During the low season of February and March we always take a break from Rainforest Hideaway and go to Thailand for our holidays.

The rest of the year we are either looking after guests, or we are outside working on projects; sculptures, seating areas, mini golf course, etc.

Returning guests find there is always something new to discover

Rob has been in and around Cape Tribulation and the Daintree for decades and can tell you all about the best activities, the best beaches, the wildlife, local issues and politics, the Dutch history of Australia, and how to put concrete sculptures together.

Your hosts are also part-time super models for brochures,
