You have absolute privacy and serenity. The property is set on four acres, in a valley just below Thornton Peak (the 3rd highest mountain in Queensland). Secrets has the largest private swimming hole in the area - approximately 15 x 10 metres, and 4 metres deep. Perfect for diving into!. Our smaller, shallow, sandy pool right below the veranda is perfect for those that cannot swim and it is warmer than the large pool.
Once you leave the airport, you will turn right onto the Captain Cook Highway and drive north along this road for approximately one and a half hours. The drive takes you past fields of sugar cane and over cane tram lines. The road hugs the coastline for many kilometres with beautiful views of the Coral Sea.
Wow what an amazing place. So tranquil in the middle of nowhere. The rock pool has its own amazing waterfall. Just chill out and unwind. Let the water take your worries down stream as you watch the birds and butterflies pass you by. Can't wait to return. The location was absolutely stunning! The swimming holes and waterfall were BEAUTIFUL and the deck was great with the outdoor setting, chair swing and beanbags.
Marrdja Boardwalk- a 30 minute walk through the rainforest just south of Cape Tribulation. Dubuji Boardwalk - a 1hour round trip takes you through rainforest to the beach and back through the mangroves. The boardwalk behind Lync Haven Cafe - Just 5 minutes from Daintree Secrets is a short boardwalk along a crystal clear stream.
Whether you're a diver or a snorkeller, you've definitely come to the right place! Daintree Secrets Rainforest Sanctuary is situated only 17 kilometres from The Outer Barrier Reef. With daily trips out of Cape Tribulation (20 mins away) and Port Douglas (60 mins away), Daintree Secrets Rainforest Sanctuary is the perfect place to discover the beauty and magnificence of the famous Great Barrier Reef.

We had booked to stay at Daintree Secrets but due to unforeseen circumstances were unable to travel. Throughout the booking and cancellation process Katherine was friendly, polite and helpful. She went out of her way to ensure we received a full refund. We will make sure we stay at Daintree Secrets when we next head north.

A beautiful property, well appointed with amazing rain forest and a small waterfall flowing into a beautiful, natural rock swimming hole. Amazing feeling sitting on the verandah with this surrounding us whilst we relaxed, dined. A well stocked kitchen complemented the provisions we had purchased, so no need to bring condiments, sauces, and so on. Beds were spacious and comfy as well. We enjoyed our stay and the proximity to the ocean and many board walks.

Wow I’ve needed 24hrs to come down from my Daintree wilderness high!!! And to be able to put into words how magical this place is. You know this already, however to share it and allow others to connect with nature and it’s magic is so wonderful. I just breath in the air and feel like I’m home, the forest so ancient and yet so full of life! I wish we didn’t have to leave. We are forever grateful for this magical time away.
I think this is our favourite place to be.

I don’t know about you but when I travel or take a break I like to do a bit of research; you know to find out about the place and area that I'm heading too.
So I jumped onto the Secrets website And I checked out Utube and looked at as many photos as I could find info about the Daintree Secretes.
This was such a special trip this I was being taken to the Daintree Secrets by my gorgeous partner and some wonderful friends - all of whom had been to the Daintree before.
I’d heard these marvelous stories of the Daintree Secrets tree house - the fresh water swimming pools- the seclusion.

I have travelled extensively both domestically and internationally and each time I arrive at "Secrets" I pinch myself as I appreciate how lucky we are to live in such a beautiful part of the world. You will search far and wide to find a more beautiful, unique tranquil setting. I have just returned from my 6th stay having shared previous stays with different friends and family. On this occasion my niece and her partner from Brisbane flew up to join us. They were absolutely delighted and can't wait to return. Thank you Kathrine for continuing to share "Secrets".

What an amazing property. We were absolutely mesmerised as soon as we arrived. The sound of the waterfalls (plural!) was so relaxing and we were so shocked with delight to see how stunning the backyard was - rockpools, numerous water holes to swim around in. The house itself was perfect, everything we needed and more, and the beds were very comfortable. We can't wait to come back and visit again for much longer this time. See you soon <3

Stayed here recently for the weekend this place is amazing did not stay long enough. Kids loved the place as well even though there was no reception (which I loved )so many places around to explore and keep them entertained loved listening to the waterfalls frogs birds I’m definitely coming back and staying the extra few days next time. Beds super comfy bean bags by the swimming hole was bliss. This place is heaven in the secret rainforest.

Wow, what an amazing place to stay in the Daintree… it took our breath away on arrival!
Situated deep in the Daintree National Park, we had a wonderful time enjoying the serenity and peace, listening to the rainforest sounds and waterfall.
With only 2 of us in this spacious paradise we had a romantic escape from the modern world without internet or mobile reception to disturb us.
Very private, with expansive open verandah overlooking the lush tropical rainforest, waterfall and swimming hole. There had been very little rain for some months when we stayed at the beginning of December, however

What an amazing little secret this place is! From the moment you arrive you know you are somewhere special - you are completely surrounded by natures beauty. Everything from the private beautiful swimming hole and waterfall right at the front door, to the spectacular blue of the Ulysses butterflies and other abundant wildlife, helps you leave the modern world behind. The house is well equipped with absolutely everything you need, there is a spacious deck to chill out on and lots of little private spots to escape to and breathe it all in. The hosts have thought of everything and obviously have their

Our own perfect piece of paradise for 3 idyllic days. We loved the private and peaceful setting, the rock pools , the wildlife(especially the resident turtle) and the rainforest surrounds. The accommodation was lovely, clean and well fitted out with everything you could possibly need. If you want a getaway to a private. ‘back to nature’ hideaway, this is definitely the place.

I have stayed here three times now and it has always been excellent. The facilities and accomodation itself has continued to improve - this trip I saw a larger, extended deck, an awesome new kitchen and much new furniture. We had no power issues as there is now solar as well as hydro. The manager was very easy to communicate with about our booking, everything was straight-forward. BUT THE REAL REASON you should check this place out is the NATURAL BEAUTY! It is the incredible deep, cool private swimming hole with your own little waterfall that always draws me back. Rain or shine, you won't want

I wish I could give Daintree Secrets more than five stars. I have stayed here several times over the last few years and it's hard to think of a more magical spot.
The house is a spacious welcoming place that is nestled deep in the Daintree National park. One thing that really sets it apart from other places to stay in the area is the picturesque private natural Creek/pool which is just outside the front door.
The house has all the amenities that you could need and is powered by hydroelectricity so you get a true sense of being disconnected from the outside world (in the best way possible)
