Location:
We live at the 'Reef and Rainforest Coast' in 'Tropical North Queensland' 60 km north of Cairns and 15 km south of Port Douglas. Our bungalow to rent in located in a very quiet and private atmosphere. It is a very convenient point to explore the surroundings with their natural wonders like daytrips into the Daintree Rainforest, snorkel or dive the Great Barrier Reef, circle the tablelands, have a ride on Kuranda Skyrail, watch crocodiles in the wilds of the Daintree River and much more. If you come back after a day full of experiences into your accommodation, our swimming pool area offers relaxation and tranquility. Here you have the opportunity to barbecue your own meals. The bungalow is also equipped with 2 single beds next to each other, lounge, table, chairs, TV, microwave, fridge, kettle, dishes and all cutlery. Last but not least we like to say, that we would like to greet you as guest and to share our little paradise for a few days or weeks in the year with nature lover.
What our guest wrote in 2006:
The Ward Family, Westsussex UK: Rita, I just wanted to drop yourself and Walter a line to wish you both a happy new year and send sincere thanks for the accommodation and help for our holiday. We all felt very privileged to stay with you and our holiday was truly made memorable by the stay. I speak on behalf of the whole family to say our time with you in Queensland was the highlight. Your place is just perfect. Once again a big thank you. Regards Phil. We are hoping to find peace and have a rest, and we found paradise. We were particularly delightful with the tour arrangements. We will pass the word to our family and friends and when we come back we will certainly return here. Meanwhile we will cherish our happy memories of Rita and Walter. Many thanks for everything. Erwin and Muala, Belfast Ireland. This is our third visit to Mountain View Lodge - and we will be back again. Our happiest holidays. Thank you again Rita and Walter. Dick and Gen, Wellington NZ
