Daintree Magic

A great family space in a fantastic spot

The location is amazing. Easy access considering the remote location. Once reached it felt like being miles from any other people. So peaceful. Proximity to Cape Tribulation, Daintree Village, and Cow Bay were perfect. Must be familiar with propane stove and oven for successful cooking. Minimized our water and electricity use, but this did not detract from our stay in the slightest. Everything we needed for a comfortable holiday.t.

It's a really beautiful spot and the house is beautiful too. Mostly as advertised, but not quite, On arrival, you find that it's solar powered and water is rainwater so you're asked not to use any electrical appliances, minimise use of wi-fi and minimise water usage. Eco credentials are commendable but the limitations should be made clear before you book and pay top dollar. There is no washing machine (cos it would use too much power) although booking sites said there was one. Photos of the pool are misleading. It is a plunge pool about 3m x 4m. Very pleasant to use, but if you think the kids are going to play in the pool all day (as the photos suggest) think again. Some household items are getting a bit old and worn out. Despite all this, it's a brilliant place and the big balcony is a winner.

We loved the house and the view of the ocean. We have even seen whales from the balcony. Kate responded immediately when we had a question. Kitchen was well equipped and there were some condiments in de fridge and spices in the cupboards

After a busy week in Cairns, this was the perfect place to rest and rejuvenate. We never tired of looking out over Cow Bay from Daintree Magic - highlight was getting up early to watch the sunrise from the balcony and having a bath with a sea view. The house is gorgeous and has everything you need. Be aware that a huge section of the road from the ferry to Cow Bay is being rebuilt (July 2024) causing lengthy delays. Took us over two hours from joining the ferry queue to reaching the house. Don’t miss Daintree Ice Cream Company and Thornton’s cafe by the Beach (they also sell their delicious fresh bread by the loaf).
