he
area known as Cow Bay is named after the Sea Cows or Dugongs that
graze on the sea grass meadows in the bay. It is truly a beautiful
part of the Daintree, rich in rare flora & fauna, from the most
colourful butterflies, to the endangered cassowary, Australia’s
second largest bird. airns Airport, the
International gateway to Tropical far North Queensland connects to
Cow Bay via the sealed, all weather, Cook Highway and the famous picturesque,
Daintree River Ferry crossing.
Our quiet 10 Unit Motel rests on 1 hectare (2.5 acres) of tropical
gardens in which lives a wide variety of wildlife that often come
to visit our guests whilst they are relaxing or enjoying a barbeque.
The tropical gardens hold many botanical wonders such as the many
varieties of bromeliads, orchids, king ferns, vanilla trees, huge
fig trees, spectacular vines etc etc and is a very inviting relaxing
place, to while away some time.
he motel suites reflect
the environment in which we live, with bright airy decore, high ceilings
with fans, kitchenette, comfy queen size beds or lounge chairs and
cane chairs on the verandas. We also have a large saltwater swimming
pool open till 10:00pm.
If you
are lucky enough to bring back a Barra! or a Reef fish, make use of
our free gas B.B.Q. If not, perhaps buy a crocodile, kangaroo or beef
steak to grill on the bbq yourself!
ow
Bay boasts some fine Restaurants and Cafes all within easy walking
distance from the Retreat and some will even cook your catch for your
dinner.
The pristine Cow Bay beach, only 5 minutes by car, a delightful bike
ride of 15 minutes or a leisurely stroll of 30 minutes is typical
of Far North Queensland, where the RAINFOREST meets the REEF. Get
away from the crowded beaches of the south, stretch out on the golden
sands to add to your tan or sit back and enjoy the scenery under a
shady tree only metres from the water.
