About this house rental
Moo Creek is a fully equipped holiday home in the heart of the Daintree Rainforest. It is within walking distance to Cow Bay Beach and only a short drive to restaurants, boardwalks and other sights of the Daintree. With one king bed, double futon and single bed, Moo Creek is suitable both for couples and families seeking to get away from it all and relax. There is ceiling fans through out house and plenty of air flow from outside. With a large open living area and covered decking overlooking a private creek and surrounded by rainforest it is a truly tranquil space.
The space
Moo Creek is entirely reliant on solar power and rainwater so we ask that guests are mindful of power and water usage during their stay. We also have a generator as a back up for power. While it doesn't need to be used very often you should note that as the property is in a rainforest we do experience periods of cloud and rain and therefore at times this may necessitate the running of the generator for power. There is no mobile reception or wifi available on the property which adds to the feeling of being able to totally switch off from it all. There is mobile reception available just a few minutes drive up the road however if needed. We provide books, movies and games for guests as well as all products including shampoo etc. We would also recommend that guests shop for groceries prior to heading into the Daintree (there is a Woolworths in Mossman) as there are very limited options for groceries once you have crossed over the river. We provide both a plunger and a stove top espresso maker at the house, however guests need to provide their own ground coffee for these.
Guest access
Guests have the entire property to themselves for the duration of their stay. This includes the private swimming holes in the creek running through dense rainforest. Given sufficient time and an Australian address we are happy to post ferry passes to you to save you the cost of the ferry. Otherwise we provide a ferry pass for your return journey (on the Daintree River Ferry crossing) so only a one way pass needs to be purchased to access the property. Additional passes can also be arranged for guests staying longer than 3 nights.
Other things to note
Our creek on the property has two small swimming holes which are accessed from the decking area. The creek is crocodile free and therefore safe to cool off in the warmer months.

Was difficult to find without access to internet for GPS, so best to have a paper/written plan before you embark on the journey.Overall a well set up place for a remote stay in the rainforest.

Restful location in the midst of the Daintree Rainforest. Wonderful base for exploring the local area or simply sitting by the creek in contemplation. Lovely house for a couple to reside in.

This property is a magical piece of heaven! It is even better in real life than it is in the photos! Lovely and quiet, private and peaceful. The creek is beautiful and gives a tranquil sound of water flowing while relaxing on the deck or in the hammock. The beach is only a few streets away and is absolutely beautiful. Had the best relaxing weekend. We will definitely be back
6 / 10Average·Aug 2024
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.
