A Special Facebook Review
- 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.
The guys would tell me just how fantastic this destination was and John would say many times “I’m taking you there” their Stories about day trips and amazing adventures were so exciting to me.
To say that I needed a break was an understatement - I had reached the point of saturation - complete exhaustion. I’m telling you this as I know just how many people reading this blog will connect with that feeling. You know when you feel like you have no more to give. (This is the part where you need to promise yourself to take better care of you) So let’s jump to arriving at the Daintree itself. The drive from cairns was easy and so very lovely. It was 5pm when we arrived so we still had some daylight to enjoy and check out our new holiday home.
The very moment we walked onto the back veranda I was immediately drawn towards the rock pools and waterfalls and swimming hole - as far as i could see both left and right. The Daintree forest is within meters of us and we were surrounded by a stunning thick canopy of rainforest. The sound of the forest was stunning.
This is our backyard for the next week or two and no amount of photos or stories would ever do this moment justice. Not in a million years. I stopped completely to take it all in- for hours and hours we all sat on the deck listening to the running water and birds and stunning silence. The first evening was nothing short of magical - we were all wound up and stressed and then like magic we were encompassed in the sounds of nature.
The healing and the rebalancing had commenced.
We were in the moment and almost immediately you could feel the change - the shoulders dropping. This is nature at its finest and we were right smack bang in the middle of paradise recharging and rebalancing our minds our bodies and our spirits.
Imagine how we all felt at the end of our stay - but that is another story.
So.... it doesn’t matter if you are burnt out from life or not - if you are travelers or holiday makers the Daintree Secrets is such a special place for all all ages who visit her and I promise you will leave a different person.
The Daintree secretes cannot be described it must be experienced
