More Time to Explore Cape Trib

Why we Love a budget Cape Tribulation Overnight Tour
Cape Tribulation is found in the heart of the Daintree National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Area which contains the oldest continually surviving tropical rainforests in the world. This forest is home to around 50% of Australia’s plant and animal species with many found nowhere else in the world. By choosing a Cape Tribulation overnight tour package you are able to maximise your time to explore this beautiful area with its breathtaking scenery staying at the stunning Cape Tribulation Beach House. This is the only beach front accommodation on Cape Tribulation Beach.

Cape Tribulation Beach House

“Location, location, location” is the perfect phrase for this very popular jungle and beach getaway located on 7 acres of picturesque private Cape Tribulation Beach frontage.

Enjoy a drink at the bar, take a dip in the saltwater pool, or unwind with relaxing massage. Most nights conclude with a bonfire on the beach where stories are shared, marshmallows are toasted and guests become friends.

See adjacent room options and contact us for group, family or additional rooms not available to book online.
