• Upstairs, a large bedroom area (bedroom 2 or flexible space) opens onto a timber deck with elevated rainforest views. This connects by a hallway to bedroom 3 and bedroom 4. Both bedrooms have sliding door access to the balcony overlooking the freshwater creek.


• What an incredible place to sit and admire nature, looking out over the moss-covered boulders with ferns and orchids on mass. The trickling sound of the creek here is like a soothing music from nature.
  
  POWER SOURCE:
  
  A separate power shed houses the power system. This system is multi-faceted and combines solar (roof mounted panels), a backup Honda petrol generator and Hydroelectricity set up. The power system also has a near new 3000-watt inverter and brand new 24 volt 3.3 KVA lithium battery bank. The Hydroelectricity set up comprises approx. 200 metres of blue line pipe with an approx. a 30 metre head. The turbine (platypus power) supplies reliable circa 6 amps to the battery day and night.
  
  WATER SOURCE:
  
  This comes directly from the crystal-clear waters of the creek which has a separate pipeline and delivers mountain fresh pure Daintree water to a 3000 litre tank. Rainwater collection is also included and Daintree rainwater tastes better than bottled water.
  
  OTHER IMPORTANT INFO:

  The house and yard area only occupy a small footprint within the generous 4 acres of rainforest & grounds. The forest type is nothing short of superb and with the personal creek passing right by the home, a plunge pool size swimming hole is easily accessible being only metres from the house.
