The Landscape
Black Mountain Hideaway epitomizes the beauty of the Port Douglas Hinterland. Its world heritage site surroundings include the majestic Mowbray Falls rambling 120 meters down cliffs and the lowlands to the seascape of the Great Barrier Reef. Relax and unwind in our rustic hilltop farm nestled in the air conditioned Port Douglas Hinterlands, Australia.

Black Mountain Hideaway's mild and less humid climate allows you to enjoy the tropics in a less sticky way! The picturesque farm is located 35 minutes drive from Port Douglas and easy access from Cairns, through scenic tropical North Queensland, Australia. At Black Mountain Hideaway, we have a Cattle and Equestrian Centre.
