The large home is nestled in front of the rainforest - it is a national park, and nobody will come and disturb your serenity. It is off the grid but solar supplies all the comfort. Starlink's (Elon Musk) fast and unlimited Wifi let's you connect to the world if you need it! No air-conditioning is needed as a fresh breeze comes through at any time. It is made to be comfortable without aircon. In fact, you will be happy to use the in-house fireplace during some nights of the colder months (June-August). Check out the Platypus in the spring-fed deep water lagoon early in the morning or just sit on the veranda and watch pademelons, bandicoots, kookaburras and other wildlife. The buff-breasted Kingfisher chooses Julatten as his breeding ground and you can see them from Mid-October to early March. We have a great Funky Monkey Bars Playground and XXL Vuly Trampoline to keep the kids entertained around the house. Have a dip, a swim or paddle on the lagoon, with it's beautiful healthy natural water (n crocodiles on the mountains!). A small wharf with a ladder makes entry & exit easy. In the evening, enjoy a wine sitting next to the fire bowl in front of the house, or have a BBQ on the veranda. The house is fantastic for just a couple's getaway or for large families or friend groups. 25 minutes to Port Douglas with shopping, entertainment and the beautiful 4-mile Beach for a walk or run along the beach or a swim, it is a lovely flat beach for kids and adults. 20min to Mossman and Mossman Gorge. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach towels ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Hob - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 6 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 3 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Jetted bathtub - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace ### Entertainment - Games - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - Up to 10 kg per pet ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - In-room accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Things to do - Kayak ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Garden - Unit size: 4,306 square feet ## Similar properties ![Outdoor pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/101000000/100450000/100442100/100442073/w1072h672x0y0-dff603fe.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Luxury rainforest eyrie with panoramic views Mossman Gorge - Sea view - Pool - Kitchen - Washer 9.8 Exceptional 8 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-09&endDate=2025-10-10&selected=100442073&PinnedHotelID=100442073&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/73000000/72580000/72573600/72573560/df9a5cbc.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Lido Grande | Swim-out Apartment @ Pool Resort PORT DOUGLAS - Pool - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer 9.8 Exceptional 10 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-09&endDate=2025-10-10&selected=72573560&PinnedHotelID=72573560&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/99000000/98460000/98456500/98456476/e2a4dfd2.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Daintree Treehouse Whyanbeel - Pet-friendly - Free WiFi - Outdoor space - Parking available [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-09&endDate=2025-10-10&selected=98456476&PinnedHotelID=98456476&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![5 bedrooms, iron/ironing board, free WiFi, bed sheets](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/35000000/34020000/34017900/34017814/a379f10b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### 5 bedroom 5 bathroom, private poolside cabana bedroom, Beach 20meters port douglas - Sea view - Pool - Kitchen - Washer 9.4 Exceptional 64 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-09&endDate=2025-10-10&selected=34017814&PinnedHotelID=34017814&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Indoor pool, outdoor pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/71000000/70600000/70590500/70590495/ad8ea19a.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Jamaica House Port Douglas, Stay in one of Port Douglas's most iconic homes.

Stayed 30 nights in Sep 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Carolyn M. 23 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location #### Beautiful property, needs lots of maintenance! Carola's platypus property was beautiful, the rooms were large and the home very spacious. It was great for a large family gathering however, the house needs a lot of small maintenance tended to. Terrible shower heads, sewerage smell in bottom bedroom, gas stove not working properly, Right side of freezer not working, Deep freezer broken, out of 3 tvs only 1 in the main lounge was usable. 1 tv had no remote and the last one you needed a dvd or computer to use it. ##### Carolyn M.
