Secluded home hidden in an ancient and enchanted forest with crystal clear creek
Beautiful Stonewood Retreat is a private holiday house hidden away amongst 130 million year old rainforest within the World Heritage Listed Daintree Rainforest. It offers a peaceful and secluded place to relax and enjoy surrounded by some of the most spectacular and pristine rainforest and magical private crystal clear swimming pools. The natural beauty of the cascading waterfalls, swimming pools, ancient boulders and private rainforest walking trails offer a very special and unique experience that will enchant you. This gorgeous get-a-way is situated upon a hillside centrally between Cow Bay and Cape Tribulation allowing you to get outdoors and explore the amazing Daintree Rainforest and Great Barrier Reef. Stonewood Retreat will seduce you and capture your heart with its exquisite and modern style, it’s enchanted forest and stunning mountain waterfalls.
The cascading falls are an amazing place to swim, while private walking trails offer a magical place to explore amongst a beautiful rainforest setting. Being only a short walk within the property, you can spend hours swimming in the rock pools or sitting on the giant sun warmed rocks, enjoying the tranquility of the forest. Ancient trees and sunlit boulders present a peaceful and captivating experience.
The flora and fauna within Stonewood Retreat offer a rare insight into our evolution with Cassowaries, Megapods, Boyd's Forest Dragons, Eastern Water Dragons and Musky Rat Kangaroos sharing this special space with you. Ancient forest dragons, kangaroos and birds can be seen at different times of the day around the property and from the house itself.
The creek provides electricity and fresh water to the property. The generation of 24/7 hydro-electricity and permanent supply of spring fed water comes from LIttle Cooper Creek, which runs through the middle of Stonewood Retreat, and originates from a source high up on Thornton Peak, the third highest mountain in Queensland.
The retreat is situated amongst two World Heritage areas - the Daintree Rainforest, and the Great Barrier Reef, sitting in mountains sloping down to the coastal strip that are covered in the oldest continuously surviving tropical rainforest in the world.
The house is comfortable and modern with elements of rustic design. Open spaces that welcome the outside in, offer views of the rainforest from every corner of the house. The open plan design allows the sun to spill in from every angle while filtering through the cool of the forest. Antique windows, timber beams and floor combine with a modern open plan kitchen and bathroom to create a charming and comfortable space. Outside verandas offer relaxing settings to enjoy and unwind.
The house features : 1 Bedroom with King size Bed, LCD flat screen TV with DVD library, Broadband Internet, fully equipped kitchen, large bathroom with separate outdoor tropical bath area, natural rock pool and swimming hole with waterfalls.
Besides the natural beauty of the property itself, there are many places of natural beauty to explore in the surrounding area such as topical beaches, creeks, and rainforest boardwalks, as well as many other attractions such as jungle surfing, river and reef cruises, aerial boardwalks, and sea kayaking. A number of cafes and restaurants are also available for a tasty treat as well.

Peaceful Oasis
The home, the property, and the communication with our host was nothing short of amazing. We were a little worried we’d have to cancel due to weather and flooding but luck was in our favor. The home is gorgeous and such a peaceful little oasis that’s stocked with all the essentials! We’d 10 out of 10 recommend this stay to anybody!

Secluded rain forest stay
This is a beautiful house in its own large and very well maintained gardens with a private water hole. Unfortunately due to rainstorms we were not able to utilise the outside areas which was such a shame.

You will love your stay at Stonewood
Our stay at Stonewood was a wonderful experience. The perfect weather allowed us to enjoy all that the Daintree offers from rainforest walks to the Great Barrier reef. Stonewood was a peaceful tropical retreat that allowed us to relax. Well-equipped for self-catering, spotless, and spacious. The house and grounds were unique and beautiful. We totally enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to anyone. We wish we had stayed longer and taken advantage of the creek swimming hole.

The property was in a secluded, beautiful and amazing piece of rainforest. The weather was cool but sunny and did not affect our ability to experience everything on offer.
Thank you Kaylene.

When we booked the “Secluded Cottage” we expected a rustic ageing house with primitive facilities where we would have to rough it with limited power and no internet. How wrong we were. It was amazing. Set deep in the rainforest, it had all the facilities you would want and more. Beautifully fitted out and well maintained. Even now has Starlink so internet was as good as at home. Just wonderful, fantastic, very relaxing, one runs out of superlatives. Easy to find with Kaylene’s instructions. Near perfect, just two disappointments – no Cassowary came out of the forest to parade on the lawn (although we did see one on the Cape Trib road) and we had only stayed for two days and should have booked for longer.

Rainforest, waterfalls and waterholes - just perfect
Kaylene’s Stonewood Retreat is an amazing place - a beautiful peaceful home, eco friendly with views all around and the soothing sounds of the waterfall. Paths through the forest lead to a private waterhole which we swam in everyday. Spring fed, it was refreshing and just beautiful in the sunshine. We also loved the bath on the deck, a long soak at dusk listening to the birds and frogs was the perfect way to end the day. Stonewood Retreat is the perfect base to explore the Daintree. It’s a short drive to Thornton Beach for a beach walk and delicious lunch. A million miles from the cares of the world, we stayed for 7 days and wished we could have stayed longer. Hopefully we will be able to stay again.

Perfect secluded hideaway
This is the perfect secluded hideaway up in the Daintree.
What a gorgeous home, complete with outdoor bath (my all time favourite)
Lovely built holiday home, with loads of character, and multiple outdoor areas to chill, and catch some sunrays, or keep dry under the verandah.
Although this sleeps up to 4. The single bed is in the main living area. So just make sure your little ones are good with this setup.
The pantry is stocked with some basic supplies (sugar, coffee, some spices, sauce), and loads of tea.
There is some added extras, such as a picnic rug, iceblocks, and esky. Which are great for taking on a daytrip.
I found the only thing missing was alfoil.
There is TV, with a selection of dvds. And some board games to keep you entertained in the evening.
Communication from Kaylene was fabulous. Instruction on what to bring (ie there are no supermarkets in Diwan) to clear directions.
The private rock pools were definitely what sold this property for me. Having our own personal, croc free, swim hole.
Unfortunately it was a bit cold for us West Aussies, and I only took one dip .
The listing is pretty accurate, what you see is what you get.
Would definitely recommend, and would love to go back.
Thanks for a beautiful holiday in the Daintree!

An oasis in the rainforest. Enjoyed long warm soak in most glorious outdoor bathtub, after refreshing cool dip in natural waterhole at creek. Lovely, quaint cottage with architectural flair, and well appointed, while being sustainable. Just gorgeous and central to all tourist attractions in Daintree.

An absolute stunning property surrounded by the rainforest. We did not like the steps to the creek but it was too cold to swim anyway. It was during the cold snap that hit Queensland.

Property is very private with the most amazing private swimming hole out back we didn't want to leave. Comfortable bed and fully equipped house. Thanks again Kayleen for having us.
