Is Daintree Secrets wheelchair accessible?

The ground floor of the holiday home features an open-plan layout with a large bedroom and a spacious, wheelchair-accessible bathroom. The lower-level shower is designed with a wide, open entry that accommodates a wheelchair, and the bathroom taps can be operated one-handed.

How accessible are the parking and outdoor garden areas?

The carpark is a large, flat area providing direct access to the house, though there is one step down to the verandah that may require assistance. Flat garden areas are easily accessible from the carpark, while other areas of the gardens are steeper and more difficult to navigate.

Can guests with limited mobility access the private swimming hole?

Access to the swimming hole is via a concrete garden path with a step down from the house that may require assistance. Because ramps become dangerously slippery in the humid rainforest environment, the swimming hole itself requires agility to navigate over rocks or dive into.

Are assistance animals allowed at Daintree Secrets?

We unfortunately do not allow assistance animals or pets at the property. This strict policy is in place to protect and avoid scaring away the native fauna, which forms a vital part of the unique Daintree sanctuary experience.

Specialized Property Considerations

Private Swimming Hole Access: The path from the house to the natural swimming hole is a solid concrete walkway through the garden. However, entering the path requires a step down from the house platform. Ramps are intentionally excluded from this specific outdoor zone because the highly humid rainforest environment makes them slippery and hazardous.
Swimming Hole Entry: Accessing the actual water requires swimming proficiency and high physical agility. Guests must either dive into the deep pool or navigate natural, slippery river rocks at the water's edge.
Assistance Animals Policy: To protect our native wildlife populations, animals are strictly prohibited at Daintree Secrets. This includes registered assistance animals, as their presence disrupts the local fauna (such as lizards, fish, turtles and yabbies) that live naturally on the four-acre grounds.
