Fodor's Expert Review Cape Tribulation Farmstay B&B
3939 Cape Tribulation Rd., Cape Tribulation, Queensland, 4873, Australia
A handful of simple but comfortable, solar-powered cabins sit among rambutan, mangosteen, and breadfruit trees on this 40-hectare exotic fruit farm. Each cabin has an en suite bathroom, insect screens, and a veranda with rain forest and mountain views. Three are air-conditioned—though as cooling breezes blow off Mount Sorrow, you may not need it. In the central farmhouse are a guest lounge, kitchen, and laundry. There is also a communal kitchen with a wood-fired pizza oven for guests' use and a shed full of free coconuts (if you can crack them). Commune with fellow guests around the nightly campfire, and wake to a chorus of birdsong.
PROS
- beach and rain-forest trails adjoin the property
- breakfast basket of fresh tropical fruit
- free Internet (but only in the central farmhouse)
CONS
- few in-room modern conveniences
- no swimming pool
- modest accommodations
