The cottage is unique and beautiful, built with love by its boatbuilder owner, his sons and wife. Hardwood floors, full kitchen and living room are equipped with all the necessities for your comfort. The open planned living room has a range of books, 32 inch HDTV and a DVD player, and wifi. This leads to the dining room, with a dining table seating for six.

The bathroom features a jacuzzi with large windows opening out to rainforest views. Being run on solar power and rain water, the system is fully automated offering full electricity and ample water, however, the usage needs to be respected. The deck on the front of the cottage is extensive, some of which is covered and some being open. Be at one with nature, as you experience an open Avery to all the music of the rainforest. Under covered deck, a is a lovely daybed, which can be used for sleeping or lazy afternoons. There are also two lounge chairs to enjoy the views and to relax. We also have a dining table with settings for four. This leads to an open deck and plunge pool where you can see the beautiful valley as you relax in the water or sun lounges.

The location
The rainforest is directly behind you and a slow undulating property in your front yard opens to your scenery. At given times of the year the valley mist along the river floods with low moving mist that can offer a different view and movement daily.
Daintree Valley Cottage has a very soothing and relaxing atmosphere, and even though we are in a remote area we are just 5 minutes off the Daintree River and ferry crossing which allows you a simple drive to our nearest attractions, such as the cape trib drive and nearby hotels and or restaurants. River tours are available on the river which can add to your adventures as Crocodiles are often seen sunning themselves on the river banks, and fishing trips can also be arranged. Daintree village is just minutes away with a car and hotel restaurants and small shops, and the road north offering further locations of interest. We request that visitors are aware that we are in the rainforest, so to keep in mind that the natural ambiance is surrounding you and that no domestic animals are allowed, preserving our wildlife in the area. At times special sightings have occurred of our natural wildlife with much enjoyment. We welcome all guests with the respect to the property and environment.

Hey, this place is a FIND. A holiday within a holiday. Perfect on so many levels. BTW Vodafone works perfectly at this property and the internet was fast. It was like were were dreaming for the four nights that we stayed at the Daintree Valley Cottage. Worth every cent and more!!!!
Wow. I am normally a beach person, but this house and location blew me away. We absolutely loved every minute being here and enjoyed everything that the Daintree has to offer. Everlasting memories. Thank you.
The home was very comfortable to stay in, and even though neighbours are around in this rainforest space, it was still very private. Being perched on the side of the hill the views are expansive, and it catches any breeze making it a comfortable place in the tropics. We found it very comfortably for two, with lots of space indoors and out. The multi-level deck/verandah and plunge pool were a standout. We had a mixed week of rain and sunshine, and could spend time comfortably sheltered on the verandah with multiple seating options. Inside is well equipped and although off grid we were surprised at how well set up the house is. Visiting the Daintree is about being in the space, and relaxing and this home enables you to do very little or lots easily. Loved it, sad to leave.
We stayed here a week from October 7 to 13. I was anticipating the week with enthusiasm, but found the actual place was far above my high expectations. The cottage/house was perfect: great and well equipped kitchen, dining and living area, rather open plan, and place, including the huge bathroom, one with the outdoors through windows and doors. The deck was almost as big as the house! From the deck one faced north, looking down a field to the ridges of hills around the river valley, which would be filled with fog in the mornings. Great sunsets. The only trouble is that we never wanted to leave the property. We did- but were always happy to be back, and to be part of the rhythm of the birds and the day. Nature all around, all the day, all the night. It was quite hot, but not in the house- the ceiling fans worked magic, and the house was never hot. Dealing with Marie by email before we went, and Peter when we arrived worked out so well, and added to the general great feelings we had about our luck in finding such a perfect spot to relax and enjoy the rainforest. The house is powered by solar, and this made us even more feel as if we were treading softly, and were part, not invaders, of the life around us.
I've used HomeAway and Airbnb for a decade, and this was the best of all the wonderful places I've stayed in.
Beautiful views of forest and mountains with a chorus of birds at sunrise. The house opens up to the natural world around with an amazing verandah. Well appointed kitchen, clean, airy. Central to the Daintree, Mossman Gorge and river crocodile cruises. We loved it.

Peaceful, Rejuvenating, and Natural
Our stay at the Daintree Valley Cottage was fantastic. Coming after visits to Sydney and Melbourne, we were not completely sure what to expect (beyond all of the photos and descriptions provided), but I'll say that our expectations were exceeded. The instructions and directions provided were simple and very accurate, and we arrived without issue. We stopped for groceries prior to the ferry crossing, and spent the following day relaxing on the deck. The cottage was very clean and immediately comfortable. Alternating with days spent reading and laying out on the deck, we ventured into Port Douglas, Cape Tribulation, and Daintree Village to explore. All very easy to navigate. The final days of a two-week holiday were excellently experienced with the sights and sounds of the rainforest. A wonderful trip.

Beautiful, well-appointed home
We really enjoyed our stay at the Daintree Valley Cottage. The property has a feeling of seclusion without being too remote (only a few minutes away from the Daintree Ferry) and gorgeous vistas. The interior is nicely decorated and very comfortable. Check-in and communication with the host was very smooth as well.

Stunning!
Thank you so much for an unforgettable stay at your wonderful cottage. This hidden gem in the Daintree rainforest had everything we could have wanted. Just to begin - each window provided picture perfect views of the impeccable grounds and the view from the balcony.... Oh my goodness - jaw dropping!!
We had everything we needed in the cottage - beautiful kitchen, comfy bed and wonderful spa (and much, much more). Highly recommend this property for anyone seeking a truly serene getaway in the heart of the Daintree. Enjoying the views and sounds of the rainforest from the comfort of this cottage was an exceptional experience. I hope to return to this gorgeous place very soon.

Hidden in the rainforest
We spend 5 days for our honeymoon at Daintree Valley Cottage. We were not disappointed. Total privacy as it is a huge block. Behind the cottage is just forest full of bird life. Loved waking to the sounds of the forest. Besides the glorious surroundings, the cottage its self was quite spacious. The spa can in handy to soak sore muscles after a long hike through the daintree. There was definitely nothing extra that we need there. Oh the ferry ride across the river was a little extra exciting. We ended up getting a 5 day multi pass for the ferry which cost $54. But that gave us 5 return tickets. However the owners did include 1 return trip with the booking. Only advice is stock up on any food or drinks needed at mossman Woolworths. As there is no local shop anywhere near.
Its has been the best location to date. Total peace and quiet. We hope to be back.

Well Worth It
We enjoyed this place.
It's eco-friendly which means it does lack certain luxuries e.g. air conditioning.
But you know that when you rent it, so it shouldn't be a problem.
The lack of curtains was a definite downfall - I didn't want to wake up at sunrise every morning.
It is a beautiful, private and quiet location.
There is lots of bird life.
It has nice amenities.
The spa bath was great.
Watch out for the mosquitoes!
Response from VrboOwner on 31 Mar, 2020
We are thrilled to hear you had a lovely time in the cottage and enjoy the spa bath as well as the surroundings that the daintree has to offer, it is quite special. We do have the fans in every room and balcony to provide for a constant flow of air for comfort and this helps in the prevention of the mosquitoes disturbing you, and hope you were able to use some of the items left to also keep them away, sometimes after a rain that they are a bit more prominent. We are happy to consider blinds, but we honestly have never had anyone suggest that before as the sun comes from behind the mountain and house, although we always like to make everyone as comfortable as possible, so thank you for your thoughts. We hope you might be able to return in the future and if not please tell your friends. thank you for your visit and choice of places to stay.

Delightful cottage!
What a beautiful place to spend some quiet time in the Daintree. The cottage is absolutely wonderful and has everything you need. Privacy is assured and you are left to listen to the birds and absorb the wonderful view. The breeze blows gently through the French doors and you are at one with nature. Sleeping under the stars is a real possibility. Recommended highly.

So peaceful & quiet
We booked the cottage over the long weekend to "distress & unwind" from work. From the minute we drove up the drive we knew we booked the right place!! It was lovely from the outside and when we walked inside it just felt like home! It was a wonderful, blissful, peaceful, relaxing place to stay. Will definitely be going back again and recommending your cottage to all our friends needing a quick, close by escape. It was awesome thankyou.
