What You’ll Love…
The Property – Boutique luxury in the rainforest
Nestled between the Daintree Rainforest – the oldest rainforest in the world, believed to be around 180 million years old – and the Great Barrier Reef, you’ll find Mist at Cape Tribulation, a luxurious boutique property. Unwind and reconnect with nature among the lush greenery and the peaceful onsite creek, supplied with fresh water year-round from majestic Mount Sorrow.
Two-person hammocks dot the property’s grounds, changing location depending on the weather – finding them is part of the fun as you wander amid some of the world’s rarest palm trees. Make time to stop in the small orchard, where, when in season, tropical fruits are free to pick.
The Apartment – Your very own, self-contained luxury pavilion
Relax in a Luxury Pavilion, your tranquil oasis in the heart of the rainforest. Named after majestic palms on the property – Magnifica, Pandanus and Royal – each pavilion features a spacious king-size bed with Belgian Flax linen and a pillow menu, kitchenette, dining area, three-seater sofa, luxury bathroom and an outdoor deck with expansive rainforest views. Wake up to the sounds of nature and a cup of coffee from the machine in your room, with the cupboards equipped with crockery and stocked with supplies of condiments, cereal, tea, milk, salt and pepper, should you wish to self-cater.
Toast your escape with a bottle of sparkling wine and imported beers waiting for you on arrival.
Luxuriate in the knowledge that a leisurely 11am checkout is guaranteed, allowing you to take in every precious moment of your escape.
Pets welcome: Mist at Cape Tribulation is pet friendly (with prior approval), offering pet bowls and the freedom to bring along your furry friend for long walks on the beach.
The Food – Complimentary breakfast hamper and gourmet cheese platter
Enjoy a leisurely start to your morning with a fully stocked breakfast hamper included in your stay. Inside you’ll find cereal, bread and jams, setting you up for the day ahead.
You’ll also be treated to a complimentary gourmet platter of cheeses and pâté for you to enjoy on your private balcony.
The kitchenette has all the equipment you need to self-cater during your stay, but should you wish to dine out, you’ll find a selection of great restaurants within walking distance.
Turtle Rock Café is a relaxed destination for fresh, wholesome food, including healthy takes on sandwiches, burgers, cakes and muffins. You’re also just a short walk from Cassowary Restaurant, a casual eatery open daily for breakfast and seasonally for dinner.
The Environment – Spot rare birds and marvel at a vast array of exotic plants
Settling on the deck of an evening you will hear the calls of the lesser sooty owl, a sound reminiscent of fireworks and unique to this part of Australia. Victoria’s riflebirds are seen on the property frequently, with their amazing mating dance a truly rare and beautiful sight to behold.
The pavilions have their resident sunbirds, tiny yellow birds common to the area. Watch them build their decoy nest, then zip to the one that holds their babies, cleverly protecting their young from predators. Keep an eye out for the cassowary and its chicks, another bird often spotted on the property.
Enjoy the wide variety of natural foliage, with the orchard home to exotic fruits including mangoes, purple mangosteen and durian. The palms adorning the property are so rare, their seeds have been supplied to Cairns Botanical Gardens to help propagate the species. Walk among magnificent trees as tall as 150ft, then return to your balcony and watch the fireflies play at night.
