We recently stayed at the Cockatoo Hill Retreat for our honeymoon travels in Australia. We absolutely loved it. Our tree house was beautiful, with stunning views across the rainforest valley, an amazingly comfy 6 foot bed and a beautiful balcony to rest weary feet. Breakfast in the morning consisted of an enormous bowl of fresh tropical fruit, followed up by... more

My wife and I spent only two nights at Cockatoo Hill Retreat; had we known what a fabulous place it would turn out to be we would probably have spent our entire two week Australian vacation here and in the Daintree Rainforest. As everyone else has reported Carmen and Tricia were amazing hosts. Just one small example – one evening... more

My wife and I stayed at Cockatoo Hill for 2 nights and our stay couldn't have been better (perhaps clearer skies or a longer stay might have been nice though). Carmen and Patricia were the most wonderful hosts and our time at Cockatoo is one of the most memorable parts of our honeymoon. There are many options for accomodations in... more

If you are looking for a place to chill out and feel the force of nature around you, this is it. Simple yet elegant accommodation in the tree house, views across the green canopy and misty vales to the ocean, sunrise and moonrise from the balcony or bed. A fabulous breakfast of local organic fruit and to-die-for homemade jams. Carmen... more
