Just a short stroll from Cape Tribulation's beach and famous mangrove boardwalks, Ferntree Rainforest Lodge is a superb, yet affordable tropical getaway.
This is the only place on earth where two World Heritage-listed environments live alongside each other. On one hand, the extraordinary tropical underworld of the Daintree Rainforest. On the other, the sparkling turquoise of the Great Barrier Reef.
Ideally located in the heart of this unusual harmony is your hideaway, Ferntree Rainforest Lodge, where a rare nature lovers' paradise awaits you. Go bushwalking, horse riding, kayaking, snorkelling, fishing in the estuaries, or simply unwind in one of Australia's most beautiful, untouched settings.
The dense rainforest reaches all the way down to the coast from rugged mountains rising in the west, with ancient, exotic plant life bordering the waterfalls and clear jungle streams. The rainforest is home to some of the oldest species of ferns in existence, including the renowned Angiopteris, the largest in the world.
Set harmoniously within the vivid green landscape, Ferntree Rainforest Lodge's magnificent gardens are designed to attract some impressive rainforest creatures. From the comfort of your room, you can witness the operatic display of colourful butterflies and birds, as they dance in the dappled sunlight of this spectacular environment.
It would be hard to find a better place to delight, inspire and refresh. So come and experience the beauty and wonder of Ferntree Rainforest Lodge. |

| Getting there |
Cape Tribulation is located between two World Heritage areas: The Great Barrier Reef and the Daintree National Park, approximately 140km north of Cairns (2˝ hours drive), and 75km south of Cooktown. Domestic and International visitors can fly direct to Cairns, where a number of transfer options to Cape Tribulation are available.
Coach Transfers
Coach transfers are available between Cairns and Cape Tribulation daily. We recommend "SunPalm Transport" who offer daily transfers to and from Cairns airport, they also provide a similar service from Port Douglas. Transfer time is approximately two and half hours each way. Please phone 1800 987 077 to make your booking.
Self Drive
You can also organise to hire a car or drive your own and enjoy the magnificent scenery at your leisure. Once you arrive at the Daintree River the ferry, operating between 6am to midnight, will take you across to Cape Tribulation.
Leaving Cairns, head north towards Port Douglas & Mossman – drive past the Port Douglas turn-off (turn-off is to the right), and through the township of Mossman. Approximately 30kms past Mossman, you will need to turn right towards the Daintree River Ferry Crossing (a large sign indicates turn) – do not drive straight ahead as you will end up in Daintree Village Join the vehicle ferry (approx AUD 16 return) as directed by ferry staff. After the ferry crossing, you have entered the Daintree National Park and as such, the road is windy and dark in places due to rainforest canopies – so drive slowly & with care. Ferntree Rainforest Lodge is located approximately 45 minutes drive after the ferry crossing, turn off at Camelot Close (off Cape Tribulation Rd).
**Note - Transfers are NOT included in rates advertised. Please contact Reservations on 1800 987 077 after making your booking to arrange transfers.** |
