  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.
