Mountain View Tropical Retreat - New Pet friendly getaway on the Cassowary Coast
Start your day feeling completely rejuvenated in a spacious retreat, surrounded by tropical rainforest, cane fields and mountain views. Breakfast on your private balcony, and take in the sweet symphony of tropical birds and wildlife. After a day exploring our stunning region, perhaps indulge yourself in an indoor spa overlooking the rainforest at night. We are pet friendly, and even offer pet sitting! All just 15 minutes to Paronella Park, 25 minutes to Mission Beach, and 30 minutes to Innisfail.
This spacious 2 bed, 2 bath self contained elevated guesthouse is set on our property of 4 acres of lawn, tropical gardens, and winding creek, overlooking untouched rainforest. It is set at the foot of the mountain range on the historic Canecutter Way, on the Cassowary Coast between Silkwood and Innisfail.
The guesthouse offers a master bedroom with its own ensuite, including a giant shower and seperate hot tub overlooking the rainforest. It has a cosy comfortable queen bed, with plenty of wardrobe and storage space, and extra blankets for cool nights. There is an iron and folding board in the wardrobe if you need it. The second bedroom also has a queen bed, it's own ensuite with separate shower and toilet, extra blankets, wardrobe and clothing storage. All towels and bed linen are supplied, and the kitchen includes a stovetop, dishwasher, along with all the appliances and essentials for cooking during your stay. There is also a washing machine and drier for your convenience in the storage section, which can be accessed with your keys. We have included laundry liquid, and a folding washing line for your use. The dining area also overlooks the rainforest, and seats 4 people comfortably, and the lounge area has plenty of space to stretch out. A smart TV, books, Netflix and wifi are also included.
The private balcony has cafe style seating and overlooks views of the rainforest, bamboo grove, the local resident metallic starlings, and the canefields. Relaxed dining is available outside on the patio, along with barbeque facilities, and a UV shaded umbrella is provided to keep you cool and protected from the sun on hot days.
Pets are very welcome on request, but please be aware that we have wildlife on the property, and no fencing, so they will need to be supervised and on lead while on the property. We can reccommend a local petsitting service too, if you have day or night time activities planned, and can't take them with you. Great wifi available, plenty of onsite parking in the double bay allocated for your car, boat, or van.
Our property is set on 4 acres of lawn, rainforest, tropical gardens and bamboo grove. The retreat is completely private with its own secluded frontage, parking space and self check in. You are welcome to explore the grounds, especially if you have pets that need to stretch their legs. The property is unfenced, so please make sure your pets are supervised and on lead to help protect our local wildlife. We do have the occasional wallabies, pademelons, bush turkeys, and monitors on the property, and we have even seen a shy cassowary looking for rainforest fruit near the creek.
Wake to the morning sounds of cheeky kookaburras welcoming the day, and the resident metallic starlings chirping and calling as they busily build their nests. Keep an eye out for the beautiful irridescent blue Ulysses butterflies who come out later in the warmth of the day.
