What a wonderful place to get away from it all. The house and swimming hole exceeded expectations. The beds were so comfortable and the showers were amazing. There is everything you need all you need to provide is food and drinks. We had a wonderful stay and could not recommend Daintree Secrets more.

We had an amazing stay at Katherine's place and couldn't recommend it more. The house is beautiful, comfortable, and perfectly nestled in the heart of the rainforest. If you're looking for peace, nature, and a unique experience, this is the perfect place. Waking up surrounded by lush greenery and the sounds of nature was unforgettable. We stayed as a family with our two daughters, and they absolutely loved the house and its surroundings. The location is ideal for relaxing while exploring this beautiful part of Australia. Katherine is a wonderful host, welcoming and thoughtful, and made us feel at home from the moment we arrived. We leave with unforgettable memories and would love to return one day. Highly recommended!

Dear Katherine, We would like to thank you for the incredible experience we had at your beautiful Daintree Secrets. The house and its surroundings were absolutely fascinating and magical. I must say that I have never seen such a stunning place as yours. The design, furnishings, and attention to detail throughout the house were simply perfect. The outdoor area, with its veranda, swimming hole, and creek, was truly amazing and unforgettable. The tree snake (we named her Maddie) stayed with us on the veranda for almost our entire visit. Thomas the turtle and Eric the eel also made several appearances, which added even more charm to our stay. The perfect finale was meeting your wonderful caretakers before we left. They shared many interesting details with us and also gave us a fantastic tip about where we could see crocodiles. Please pass on our warm regards and thanks to both of them. Once again, thank you very, very much for creating and sharing this magical place with us.

We had a magical stay at Daintree Secrets. My daughter kept calling it Paradise. The grounds, waterfall, and watering holes are amazing, and the beanbags and porch swing are delicious to relax on. We were sorry to leave. The humidity makes everything a bit damp, but this is to be expected and well worth it for the amazing location of staying inside the rainforest next to a waterfall. We'd love to return someday.

The creek is absolutely magic. There are not many places in the world where you can be so close to nature overlooking such a beautiful creek. We really enjoyed our time swimming and relaxing by the creek even though the weather was a little colder than usual. We have visited the Daintree on a number of occasions but couldn't get over how special this swimming hole was.

Nothing can really prepare you for the beauty of this place. Standing on the decking, watching the water run through the waterfall, seeing an azure kingfisher flashing by, is just an incredible experience. The house is very comfortable with a great well-stocked kitchen, nice sheets, good showers etc, but the real magic is the outside. We had quite a bit of rain the 3 days we were there which made the forest shiny and beautiful. The water was a bit chilly but everyone still loved having a dip in the swimming hole. Perhaps most memorable was feeding Eric the eel and Thomas the turtle a few little pieces of meat from the deck above - so much fun for the kids. Oh, and there are also torches provided for spotlighting at night - we saw a frog! Hope to be back one day to this amazing place!

The location is perfect for people wanting to be fully immersed in the forest, and the wildlife is amazing! It's the fish in the rock pool, the turtles in the stream and the tiny bats flying around the deck in the evening that really made it special, we'll definitely be back!

This was honestly one of the best Airbnb stays I've ever had l, quite possibly the best. The property is absolutely stunning, and having a private waterfall on the grounds felt like something out of a dream. Waking up to the sounds of nature and being able to enjoy such a magical spot all to ourselves made our stay truly unforgettable. The house itself was beautiful, impeccably maintained, and had everything we could possibly need. Every detail had been thoughtfully considered, making it feel both luxurious and incredibly welcoming. The location was peaceful and secluded while still being convenient to explore the surrounding area. We spent so much time simply enjoying the property because it was such a special place to be. Photos don't do it justice - it's even more breathtaking in person. I genuinely couldn't recommend this Airbnb highly enough. If you're considering booking, do it! It's a rare gem and a place we'll be talking about for a long time.

Overall, Daintree Secrets has to be a 10/10. going through AirBnB's questions, the only one we waivered on was cost value, only because this is not a low cost rental. That being said, it is one of the best places we have ever stayed and one of the most fun places our kids have ever stayed. We did travel the Daintree a little bit, but for the most part, stayed at home, and what a home! Our kids must have jumped from the big rock into the big pool a minimum of 50 times each. We swam with the fish in the big pool, we had a blast watching Thomas the Turtle and Eric the Eel, we had an Amethystine python above the veranda for 2 days, fell asleep to the rain on the roof above us and overall enjoyed the property. We did do a night walk in the Daintree with Cane (10/10 would recommend 1,000%!) and enjoyed the beach at Thornton Beach and Cape Trib, but overall Daintree Secrets was our destination in the Daintree. Katherine was an amazing host, the place is fantastic and we loved it! 10/10!

We absolutely loved our stay at Daintree Secrets, it was a great privilege to spend time in this gorgeous rainforest retreat! The house is beautiful, the grounds are stunning, and having a waterhole to swim in right outside your door was amazing. Katherine provided us with lots of useful information before our stay, including for activities and places to eat, which was invaluable and helped us to plan our stay. She was very responsive to any questions we had and was overall a wonderful host. We would definitely stay here again and strongly recommend it to anyone planning a holiday to the Daintree. Thank you for hosting us, Katherine!

It was a privilege to stay at Daintree Secrets. Particularly very grateful that our 3 teenagers got to experience something so different and peaceful. We are an extremely busy family and it gave us a great opportunity to reconnect and do simple things together.

Secrets is a 1 in a million location and place to stay. What dreams are made of. Was soo good to get off the grid for a few days and relax in the pristine waters right below the balcony. You feel like you have the whole rainforest to yourself. House was immaculate and everything is as the host described. Katherine was a wonderful and helpful host. We'll be back for sure.

Frequently Asked Accommodation Questions

"What is the natural swimming hole like at the property?

"Guests describe the swimming hole as an absolute oasis of clear, fresh, and drinkable mountain water situated directly underneath a cascading waterfall. It is steps from the timber patio, completely private, safe from crocodiles, and home to native wildlife like freshwater fish and turtles that children love to feed.


How well-equipped is the kitchen for preparing meals?

The kitchen is superbly set out, modern, and fully stocked with cooking utensils, quality knives, and essential pantry basics. Guests frequently note that everything needed to fix simple or elaborate family dinners is provided, including staples like salt, oil, and vinegar.


What does it mean that the holiday home is off-grid?

Daintree Secrets offers a unique, completely eco-friendly experience powered cleanly by its own hydro-electricity and solar systems. It provides a perfect 'digital detox' to disconnect from the outside world, though it operates with a few minor, charming quirks inherent to high-tech, remote rainforest living.


What kind of wildlife can guests expect to see on or near the property?

The property is a true sanctuary for local flora and fauna. Guests regularly spot an array of rainforest birds, frogs, and resident creek turtles right from the deck, and lucky visitors have even spotted a father Cassowary walking with his chicks just down the road.
