Port Douglas ~ Hidden Gem~ Trezise Cottage in Mowbray

The wonderfully renovated Trezise Cottage is perfectly located in the picturesque Mowbray Valley approximately 8 minutes drive into the heart of Port Douglas and approximately 50 minutes north of Cairns Airport. With the Great Barrier Reef & the Daintree Rainforest on your doorstep, as well as the temperate table lands, historic walking trails within the National parks, freshwater creeks, tropical beaches and special “local” spots off the beaten track.

Tresize Cottage is your “home away from home”, ideal to settle in for a few days and enjoy everything this region has to offer.

The 96sqm (apx) Trezise Cottage is completely stand-alone and self-sufficient. Nestled at the rear of our 12,000 sqm property amongst our mango orchard, surrounded by Tropical & Native gardens. There are chickens and friendly little Jack Russell "Jessie" on the property and you’ll wake up refreshed every morning to the sweet sounds of birds and local wildlife on your doorstep.

Trezise Cottage features a spacious bedroom with a king-size bed, wall-mounted smart TV, split system air conditioning, block-out blinds and plenty of storage for your wardrobe. There is a deluxe Ensuite Bathroom & European Laundry (with a separate dryer and clothes washer) plus ironing facilities.

The open-plan living/dining area boasts a modern kitchen with a dishwasher, stove, cooktop, fridge & all the little extras you might need in the kitchen as well as a dining area, wall-mounted smart TV, three-seater lounge that opens out into a queen size sofa bed and split system air conditioning. Oh, and don’t forget free WiFi unlimited “Starlink” satellite internet and Netflix.

The open plan design opens up onto your own private outdoor alfresco patio featuring rustic old-growth timber posts, a comfy outdoor lounge setting and a BBQ. Perfect for watching a morning sunrise with a coffee in hand or enjoying a few sundowners in the late tropical afternoons looking out over the private gardens. Additionally, your own outdoor camp fireplace is set under the magnificent native gum trees (if you happen to be visiting during our cooler months.)

Guests are welcome to enjoy our swimming pool and shaded pergola, which offers the perfect opportunity to relax and enjoy the day. Soak up the sun, and cool off in the swimming pool.

As a guest at Trezise Cottage, you will have the opportunity to witness a wide variety of native wildlife during your stay. Keep your eyes peeled for creatures such as Lace Monitors, Wallabies and various species of birds such as Kookaburras, King Fishers, Rainbow Lorikeets, Cockatoos, Curlews and Brahminy Kites... just to name a few. Wildlife sightings are particularly common at dawn and dusk and the variety of wildlife sightings fluctuates according to the seasons, so be sure to take advantage of the cozy outdoor seating areas and enjoy the natural beauty that surrounds you.

We would be pleased to have you share our peace of paradise, we are a local family with children who live on the property in the original family home. You’ll barely see us as the two dwellings are separated by gardens and fencing and you have your own entrance and car parking. You may catch a glimpse of us as we feed the chickens or tend to the gardens, but other than that, it will be on an occasion we will cross paths, however if we are nearby feel free to ask if you would like some local tips and advice.
