The house is within national park, there are animals that visit and we saw fireflies and heard animals in the bush. It was lovely to make our own dinner and experience feeling like were in nature by eating our dinner/breakfast out on the patio. Close to cow bay, where we took a quick dip (mind the possible crocodiles!), and lazed on the beach. The house does not have aircon which may be a limiting factor for some people. It was nice and sunny whilst there so being on solar power only wasn't a problem. Our hosts also contacted us early and sent a ferry pass so that we didn't have to pay extra for that, which was absolutely awesome, and made it nice and easy for us. Thank you for the stay.

Our stay

It was a very nice and quiet place. We found the snake climbing in the gutters on house 2nd evening, very cool. The pool was nice to swim in and the fish would nibble on you and were jumping out of water a little to bite at my beard. My son thought it was a riot.

Perfect hideaway for exploring the rainforest and it’s hidden treasure

Our family of four had a wonderful two-night stay in this cozy cabin nestled in the heart of the Daintree forest. The accommodation was spotlessly clean and well-equipped, providing all the comforts we needed. The highlight was our evening around the campfire, roasting marshmallows under the stars. We were immersed in the sounds of the jungle at night, with a chorus of frogs and birds surrounding us. An exciting moment came when we spotted wild boars crossing the road! While we didn't get to meet Caramel, the resident python, the abundance of wildlife made our stay truly memorable. The cabin offered the perfect base to explore this magical rainforest. We'll definitely return for another adventure in this slice of paradise!

Bring a Couple of Good Books

Moo Creek is a peaceful getaway. It doesn't have mobile connection. It doesn't have WhatsApp, YouTube, that X thing, Facewhatever, SMSs, or mains power. It does have very helpful caretakers nearby. It does have peace and quiet, other than the bounty of birdlife. It does have a flowing creek with a pool where tiny fish join you. If you've had a busy schedule then you should find Moo Creek, which close to Cow Bay Beach, instantly calming.

Liked: Communication
You definitely feel like you are in the rainforest here, and the host and property caretaker are both friendly and helpful. Important to note we got no data signal and there's no Wifi, which makes trip logistics a bit difficult. Also the driveway was barely passable for a car as of July 2024, though they plan to fix this. Our one issue was the cockroaches in the kitchen/ living area. The host offered to clean and spray roach killer, but we weren't convinced that would fix the problem so we opted to eat the cost of another hotel and leave early. This is a rainforest, so perhaps these things are to be expected, but we just didn't want to stay in a place with roaches. You can decide for yourself.

Quiet quirky rainforest setting

Great property for a family visit. Plenty of board games and the creek swimming was the most refreshing part of our stay. The beds were comfortable and we had just about everything we needed to cook for ourselves and was lovely to bbq overlooking the rainforest.

Different Experience.

The house was not what we expected. Being off grid was no problem. Was not happy about no phone at house. Was told no reception but given landline phone number for emergencies, which we would have driven 6ks to reception. The position of house was good, could do with a thorough clean. The experience was very Rainforest, cape Tribulation which was great. Overall a different experience.
