The home features a fully equipped kitchen with gas cooktop, fridge, dishwasher, filtered drinking water and all essential cookware, crockery and utensils. A BBQ on the covered outdoor deck provides a relaxed space for casual meals surrounded by the rainforest.

For casual beachfront meals, Thornton’s Café at Thornton Beach is a short 7-minute drive and serves relaxed lunch and dinner options. For something sweet, the Daintree Ice Cream Company and Floravilla Biodynamic Ice Cream Factory are both popular stops. Additional cafés and restaurants can be found throughout Cape Tribulation.
