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.

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.

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.

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.

This was a delightful property in a beautiful, serene location. It was so private, and so comfortable; it felt like a home away from home. We would happily go back again.

Great stay amongst the rainforest
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. It is a bit rustic but as shown online so no surprises. It was great to be surrounded by the rainforest, listening to the sounds of nature. We even had wildlife right outside the door. The kids loved all the games on offer, it was great to get them away from the screen. Thanks

A little piece of heaven
Stayed at Moo Creek mid-June with my partner as a get-away from hustle and bustle of the city. The residence was well-maintained. The fridge was stocked adequately with milk, coffee and tea were available. Good selection of crockery and utensils. Ample supply of natural body wash and shampoo that were septic-tank friendly. Instructions were clearly detailed just in case any appliances needed trouble-shooting. During our stay, all equipment was fully functioning. The provision of candles gave a romantic ambience at night. There was a friendly reminder about Caramel the python that we could encounter in the yard but unfortunately, she was nowhere to be seen for the days that we were there. Would have loved to have a pictorial with her. A 10-second walk from the verandah is a gentle relaxing creek. This would be a nice spot to bathe during the warmer months. Location-wise, Cow Bay beach is just 5 minutes drive down the road. Communication with Roland was prompt and he kindly provided us with a ferry pass to cross the Daintree River. Thank you owners for sharing your little piece of heaven with us. Would stay with you again on future trips to Daintree.

Magical place to escape the world!
We loved everything about our stay at Moo Creek except that it was too short! The house is thoughtfully kitted out and we didn’t lack a thing! Waking up to the serenity of the rainforest and going for a dip in the pristine, croc free, creek was for sure the best way to start each day. Cow Bay is stunning and we pretty much had it entirely to ourselves. Magical! Would absolutely rent this property again and highly recommend it to anyone wanting to disappear, refresh and renew their spirit in the magical Daintree 🙏🦋
