If you seek a small secluded place to escape in the tropical north, far away from the proverbial maddening crowds into a timeless rainforest with towering peaks and spring feed creeks Mungumby Lodge just might be the ticket. Mungumby Lodge is a unique lodge accommodation experience and the regions only accommodation set next to the World Heritage Rainforest just before Cooktown, Cape York, on Australia’s Great Barrier Reef coast. We are at the very northern tip of the Greater Daintree Rainforest!
Point of Difference
Cooktown’s only resort style accommodation lodge experience located next to a Wet Tropics Rainforest and World Heritage National Park.
Waterfalls, swimming holes, and nature walks are in the back yard and are Croc free. Or one can try our 110,000 litre resort style swimming pool. The lodge is architecturally designed to blend in, is quiet, relaxing, and surrounded by natural sounds, certainly with no traffic or road noise. With only 10 private wooden cabins, no camping and certainly no crowds or bus groups. Our cozy ensuite hardwood cabins are serviced daily and complimented by lush tropical gardens and a unique lodge homestead.
Set at the apex of three distinct environments the outback, rainforest coast, and a wilderness coastline next to the Great Barrier Reef. The Aussie Fire Pit and BBQ Pavilion make for a great spot to sit around the fire, grill or cook your dinner. Cooktown is only a 25-minute drive away and the nearest bar and restaurant is only a 5-minute drive to the infamous Lions Den Hotel. We are a Nature lover’s paradise with all the home comforts not available at other nearby properties.
Mungumby Lodge is a unique one-of-a-kind experience and an ideal base to explore Cooktown, SE Cape York, Cape Tribulation, and Bloomfield. We are the closest Lodge experience to the Laura Split Rock Aboriginal rock art. Close by is the Annan Gorge, Archer Point, Bloomfield Falls, Weary Bay & Shiptons Flat. We service all facilities as well as your room daily, and do so with a smile!
