Hello and welcome to our house, a wonderful place for your next holiday in the Daintree rainforest. it is is situated on the side of the mountain bordering the world heritage national park and only 200 meters to the beach.
Boasting unending views of the coral sea with the rainforest meeting reef the right in front of you, this is truly a place to unwind relax and forget about things for a while. The Barn is also a place where you won't forgo a bit of luxury, with three en suite bedrooms a fully equipped kitchen satellite TV, stereo system, billiard table, BBQ and a swimming pool, this three story pole house with 30 ft ceilings and glass walls from the ground up on 3 sides will truly take your breath away. And with the odd whale spotted from any of the three front verandas, cassowaries at the back door monitor lizards trying to sneak a dip in the pool, and the insect bats flying around the floodlights at night, lets you know that you are about as close to nature as can get. The holiday house has 3 bedrooms, one on the top floor has a king size bed and two on the ground floor with queen size beds. We can accommodate up to 10 guests by setting up extra beds around the house and/or in the bedrooms and we are willing to accommodate more guest so please feel free to contact us.
The home is a self-reliant house in electrical power and water supply, the house is purely powered by solar panels. Because of this one does have to be efficient with power usage, we do advice you to use any equipment that uses high consumption of power such as the washing machine and dish washer, during the day when the sun is out, it is also advised to turn things such as lights and fans off if not in use. As long as power is not wasted The Barn is easily capable of powering the house through the day and night. The Barn does have a landline, however phone signal and internet is currently not available, you can though easily get Wi-Fi at local restaurants for a very small fee and phone signals with 3G can be found at the Alexandra range look out which is about a 10 minute drive. One thing to also note is that The Barn is designed to be opened to nature and because of its solar passive design this house naturally keeps itself cool at all times, therefor there are no flyscreens or air conditioning.
The home is located in the Daintree Rainforest at Cow Bay. To get here from cairns is approximately 120km which is about a 2 hour drive. You will be required to cross the Daintree River using the car ferry, which includes a fee each time you use it and we also provide you with a direction guide book to help find your way to The Barn as well as ferry tickets which can be mailed to you on request.
