Wait A While Retreat

Wait a While Retreat is a stunning pole framed timber house offering private and secluded accommodation for up to six guests in the heart of the Daintree Rainforest, and only 600 metres from the picturesque Cow Bay Beach.

Stay in one of the most beautiful houses in the Daintree Rainforest - the perfect place to relax and enjoy the rainforest and you have a choice of restaurants and cafes close by. Wait a While Retreat is just a few minutes walk from Cow Bay Beach where the reef and rainforest meet. The Daintree - Cape Tribulation region lays claim to being the only spot on the planet where two world heritage areas meet - The Great Barrier Reef and the North Queensland Wet Tropics.

Wait A While Retreat in the Daintree is one of the largest single dwellings ever constructed in the Daintree Rainforest. Designed by award-winning, South African architect Gavin Paddock, and modelled on the traditional New Guinean long-house, Wait a While Daintree provides almost 500 square metres of living space.

The building, completed in 1993, contains more than 100 tonnes of timber and is finished with materials sourced from southern Queensland, South Africa, Kashmir, New Guinea and the United States of America.

Wait A While Retreat is just one hour from the internationally recognised resort town of Port Douglas, and is the ideal getaway offering seclusion and a true taste of the tropics.
