THE EPIPHYTE
Bed & Breakfast - BnB
ABOUT
The Epiphyte B & B is a unique eco-accommodation in the Daintree World Heritage rainforest offering accommodation in both private rooms and secluded cottages. Set atop a small hill, with a pristine creek winding through the property and spectacular mountain and forest views, you will be just minutes away from tranquil beaches, boardwalks and local activities.
Built on the land of the Kuku Yalanji people, in Kaba Kada (Cow Bay), it has been an endless project of passion and commitment over the past 30+ years to transform the property from cleared farmland to pristine rainforest and lush tropical gardens.
Like Epiphytes, which grow on trees but cause no harm, we aim to live consciously, to minimise our ecological impact and to work with nature.
Family owned and operated, we have been sharing our piece of paradise with you for the past 25 years - Welcome home to the Epiphyte.
