Janbal - Daintree

JANBAL LUXURY RAINFOREST RETREAT THREE BEDROOMS SPACIOUS KITCHEN/DINING ROOM SEVERAL VERANDAHS GORGEOUS IN-GROUND POOL LUSH TROPICAL GROUNDS

Janbal is a private luxury rainforest retreat that accommodates up to six people, set amid lush tropical grounds overlooking a gorgeous in-ground pool.

This unique raised pole home, embraces the untarnished rainforest of Queensland’s far North, in the most luxurious surroundings, and is a sanctuary for many bird species, animals and unique flora. Simply, a private home built with a love of nature and luxury in mind, available for your exclusive rental.

The word Janbal is the word our local indigenous community, 'Kuku Yalangi" has for the tree elaecorapus angustafolius or the Blue Quandong. The house was built in the mid 1990s. It was designed by local architect John Ewen-Smith and to this day is one of his favourite houses.

The house has three bedrooms - two queens and one twin (can be made into a double). It has three bathrooms, a living room, TV room, spacious kitchen/dining room and large verandas. Downstairs there is a bathroom, laundry and large lock up garage.

Enjoy the facilities of this fully equipped luxurious home. Janbal is spacious with several verandas and split levels, so you can always find your own quiet place. Grab a book and swap the smog, cars, and city hum for the for the chirps, murmurs and the constant bubbling of a forest stream.

Janbal rests on 27 acres of untouched pristine wilderness and is one of the larger blocks remaining south of the Daintree. Located just 15 mins north of Mossman and 30 minutes from Port Douglas Village. A short or long stay will give you an understanding and awareness of this precious eco-system, its beauty and challenges.

Please note that Janbal is not recommended for children under 12 years.

Things to do:

Just round the corner up the magnificent Whyanbeel valley there are a couple of great eating places, Diane Cilento's Karnak Playhouse and Cafe, also displaying the Hoglund Art Glass and High Falls Farm, a tropical fruit orchard and restaurant perched out over the Whyanbeel Creek. 

The mighty Daintree River is only 20 minutes drive north where you can enjoy the many cruises available or take advantage of local experience and fish this spectacular waterway and see the huge crocodiles basking in the winters sun.
