The resort is located on
the shores of Coconut Beach, on Cape Tribulation, some 150 km (90 m)
north of Cairns; 30 km (20m) north of the Daintree River. On one side
is the "Wet Tropics" World Heritage Rainforest - the oldest
rainforest in the world, on the other side is the World Heritage Great
Barrier Reef. The only place in the world where two World Heritage areas
meet, and we are the only rainforest based Resort in Queensland with
our own private beach - all in all, a truly special place for you to
enjoy!

trees of the forest. They are structures designed for comfort in a tropical
environment and handcrafted to the last detail from a multitude of unique
timbers. The resort is ideal for families, nature, incentive and special
interest groups and conference groups seeking a unique "get away

private surroundings.
