Located in the heart of this UNESCO World heritage listed Daintree Rainforest in Tropical North Queensland, Australia, Daintree Siesta Accommodation offers comfortable air-conditioned rooms and is central for all attractions in the Daintree and Cape Tribulation region. This property features exclusive rainforest walking trails, on-site restaurant and free parking. Your hosts Tamara (certified ANFT guide) and Bruce Scenna and family are passionate about the rainforest and conservation of this pristine environment and its unique wildlife. They warmly welcome you to share in the magic of this special place.

This is the World’s most ancient tropical rainforest so come prepared for warm humid and possibly wet weather.
There is much to see and experience in the surrounding region, and you may choose to allow extra time before or after the immersion to explore.
Highlights include the Great Barrier Reef, Mossman Gorge, Kuranda Railway, and the vibrant coastal town of Port Douglas.

Please note that all visits to local attractions must be self-organised and planned around the immersion schedule.
