Fancy sleeping in the Daintree Rainforest, the oldest rainforest in the world? That’s exactly what we did at Cape Tribulation, our favourite part of the Daintree National Park.

Staying at the Cape Trib Beach House allows you to sleep under the canopies of a rainforest that’s 110 million-years-old and fully immerse yourself deep amongst the rainforest.

Cape Trib Beach House – in the heart of Cape Tribulation

As we often say on our blog, we travel to accumulate memories, not just possessions and to spend quality time as a family, so when a unique opportunity comes up to stay in the center of Cape Tribulation on a family holiday, we jumped at the chance!

Here is our honest review of our stay at the Cape Tribulation Beach House and what you can expect from this experience.

Why Stay in the Daintree?

When you visit the Daintree, it’s the perfect opportunity to disconnect from the noise of the outside world and be at one with nature.

In case you don’t know, the Daintree Rainforest is special in that it’s the only place where two world heritage sites meet – where the Daintree Rainforest meets the Great Barrier Reef.

And when you stay overnight, you have the perfect opportunity for a digital detox and to immerse yourself in the natural environment and reconnect as a family.
