Free Wifi, Foxtel Movies, Prime, Disney, Netflix, Optus Sport & Spotify... No Cleaning Fees. La Vista is not just two stylish post and beam houses built by hand, from sustainable timbers, not merely a wonderful place sitting high on the hill with Mountain and Ocean views – it’s an experience, a real taste of life in a tropical national park that many of our overseas friends tell us they’ve always been searching for, but never previously found. “A little piece of rainforest heaven, with simply stunning views, nestled in the heart of the beautiful Daintree National Park, a true treasure.” La Vista originally attracted us because of its absolutely amazing views right out across the breathtaking rainforest valley to Thorntons Peak (Queensland's 3rd highest mountain at 1374m) and beyond to the Coral Sea. Our superb decks, by the pool, and terrace, provide charming vantage points from where you can relax, enjoy food, drinks and the stunning Vista. We offer a place to relax and take a break, away from the crowds – but we’re not totally cut off, we do have free 4G Wi-fil for those who want to stay in touch with the outside world! Yes, you have exclusive use of both buildings. Staff will service The Shack and The Studio once weekly and the Pool as required. Should you require anything, I am usually just down the hill or Management is only 5-10 minutes away. ACCOMMODATION: The accommodation at La Vista consists of two post and beam houses affectionately known as The Shack and The Studio. They can each sleep 4 Guests. The Shack has a queen size bed and a queen size sofa bed with innersprung mattress. The Studio has a queen size bed and a double bean bag bed. Both buildings are exclusively yours.

However, La Vista’s concrete driveway is only 2 hours on the paved Captain Cook Highway from Cairns International Airport. Driving North on the Captain Cook Highway from the Airport you’ll find yourself on the coast road to Port Douglas. After ‘Port’ you’ll continue North towards Mossman (Woolworths for groceries here) then further North to the Daintree River Ferry turn-off (right). Over the river, over the Alexandra range, and down into Cow Bay. Take the first right after the Cow Bay Hotel (pub) towards the beach. A further 500 m and on the right is the driveway marked by La Vista’s sign. La Vista is worth the drive. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: If you have a query not covered here, please contact us.

WHAT FORMS OF PAYMENT ARE ACCEPTED ? Secure payments can be made by Credit Card, Debit Cards or Direct Deposit EFT's: Visa, Mastercard and Paypal are accepted. DO I NEED TRANSPORT ? There is so much to see and explore in this beautiful location that it is really worth hiring a car. A two wheel drive car is all you need for local exploring. La Vista's paved concrete driveway looks steep at first but is easily accessible with a normal two wheel drive car. DO YOU HAVE A SWIMMING POOL ? We have a sparkling plunge pool with an attached 3 seat mosaic tiled Jet Spa. HOW FAR IS THE BEACH ? My favourite beach is at the end of the road; less than 3 minutes by car. It's a lovely quiet sandy beach in a small cove. (every chance you'll have it to yourselves). Thorntons Beach, a long stretch of white sand, and Cafe are 20 minutes by car. Of course you could go a little further north to Cape Tribulation; 30 minutes by car. HOW FAR IS THE NEAREST RESTAURANT ? There are several places to eat nearby. Crocodylus, a favourite with the locals is just 500m towards the beach. The Cow Bay pub which is 750 metres back on the main road. Floravilla, just before the pub, has great homemade ice cream. Within 5-10 minutes you can drive to four more restaurants: Daintree Wilderness Lodge. Fan Palm Boardwalk Cafe. Lynchaven. Heritage Lodge. WHERE CAN I BUY GROCERIES ? You can buy essential items at the local shop, however, Woolworths in Mossman is the best place to stock up. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub - Massage - Outdoor pool - Private pool ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car recommended - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Freezer - Full-sized refrigerator/freezer - Kitchenette - Oven - Paper towels - Stovetop - Toaster - Water dispenser ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub - Bathtub or shower - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - Music library - Netflix - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels - Stereo - Streaming services - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Garden - Outdoor furniture - Terrace ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Wheelchair accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Location highlights - Near the bay - Near the sea ### Things to do - Arcade/game room - Billiards/pool table - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkeling nearby - Swimming nearby ### Safety features - No carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is no carbon monoxide detector on the property but there are gas appliances;

Our family of four, 2 boys aged 8 and 9, stayed at La Vista for 3 nights. This was the highlight of our FNQ trip. It was a slice of heaven! The view was absolutely amazing! The boys loved the plunge pool and the games room at the shack. We all slept in the studio which was very comfortable. There was more to do in the Daintree than we thought. Also need to say that the communication with Dean and help from Kaz was great! We will definitely return to La Vista but spend longer next time. ##### KIM W. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Luella B.

What more could you wish for? ##### Donna K. Stayed 8 nights in Jun 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lecia R. Dec 11, 2018 #### Such a gorgeous peaceful place to absorb the rainforest We stayed in the studio and couldn't fault it. The teenagers were less happy in the shack. They wanted to come and stay with us but we said no. It was gorgeous and I wouldn't have changed it. The shack is very rustic so more bugs get in. Mosquito nets are provided and there are games to keep kids amused. The outdoor kitchen is very well equipped and it was lovely sitting back in the evening eating around the table. I am not sure how it was managed but both the studio and shack were spotlessly cleaned. There was no hidden place untouched. Thank you ##### Lecia R. Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### mark b. Dec 5, 2018 #### a peace of paradise ,,, what outstanding veiws,location and ownership,however you can learn from my small mistakes make shore you speek to dean\[owner\] before arrival,i didnt id had mobile phone issue the week before and had to buy new one, therefore missing owners last correspondence telling me code number for entry key ,couple of phone calls\[ there is a phone box down the road if you have no coverage\] and the owner was driving up the drive in no time,shake of hands ,quick explanation and even a customary beer i believe just to clear the air ,would recommend to any one who enjoys the environment and getting away from suburbia,remember this is not a resort and if you are scarred of the occasional bug,lizard or any other of the wildlife that lives in the daintree you are in the wrong place,with that said i cant think of any thing that i could folt and must make special mention on how clean and tidy the whole property was on arrival,well done Dean on building a oasis in paradise, and thanks again regards Mark an Kazz ##### mark b.

Oct 9, 2018 #### Wonderful memorable location. Once you have familiarised yourself with the set up and how everything works (off grid quite unique set up) this place is such a great place to hang out after a day visiting the Daintree rainforest and Cape Tribulation. Waking up to the view and the dawn bird calls is truly memorable. ##### Vanessa and Tony S.

An amazing property in a perfect location to explore the area. With a pool table and dart board to keep us entertained at night, our stay at La Vista was one of the highlights of our trip.

We loved our getaway to the Daintree at the La Vista Holiday home. The property is a generous size with refreshing plunge pool and kitchen and cooking facilities. But the true marvel of this property is looking out on top of the rainforest with amazing views of the Daintree! We were lucky enough to see a Cassowary opposite the driveway. It is in a nice location with easy access to croc tours and the sights and sounds the Daintree has to offer. Highly recommended! ##### ADAM C.

The house takes advantage of all the views (even from the bath). Easy to feed yourself in a fully equipped kitchen taking in the scenery, having a coldie and a game of pool. ##### Tony Z.

The views were unbelievable- you'd wake up looking at the rainforest all around you and could see out the water. Outdoor kitchen was great and the pool table provided lots of entertainment. Would stay again any day! ##### ashley t. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### ANTHEA M. Jul 27, 2016 #### Rainforest Heaven La Vista truly is a piece of rainforest heaven! Such beautiful and unique accommodation and a lovely welcome from Dean to ensure we had all that we needed. We loved seeing a sky full to the brim with stars at night and look forward to when we can stay again. Thank you for making the Daintree extra special. We will treasure the memories from our stay. ##### ANTHEA M. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Jenny S. May 5, 2016 #### Great option for a group We stayed with another couple and their 2 boys. The 2 dwellings allowed privacy for each couple but good communal spaces when we wanted to be together - like around the pool table and outdoor dining at the lower house and the lap pool at the upper house. The houses were in a good location to experience Cow Bay and the upper Daintree - we could walk to the pub and ice cream factory. Dean kindly provided complimentary ferry passes ahead of our arrival and was on hand to address any queries - the houses are rustic and in a lovely elevated and quiet forested setting with expansive views. They offer a good option for a family wanting to offer space to older kids, 2 couples travelling together or even a single couple who wants just one of the houses as they are quite self contained. We enjoyed our stay at La Vista and it was just what our travelling group required ##### Jenny S.
