Why did it take us so long to go here?! You can walk from your Villa, you will feel like you are in the Rainforest. Have drink in the canopy bar and ask for a table on Forest deck - devine!

25 minute drive, just out of Mossman. Our favourite place to take visiotrs for lunch in the rainforest. Impeccable service and food. Walk down to the river later or wander around the Lodge and check out their library / bar area - feel like you are staying there!! An amazing day spa also..... So worth driving here for lunch - you will never forget the setting...

Shopping
Walk down the hill on Sunday mornings - it well worth it. Jewellery, coffee, chocolate, gifts, clothes, exotic fruit ..... Try the Sugar Cane Juice - you have to pedal the bike to squeeze the juice! p.s the best insect repellant EVER is at the Up North Skin Care Stall, $15 and lasts for ages
Wednesdays - the Marina has a small market also.
