Cassowary Falls offers an exclusive, adults only retreat deep in the heart of the Daintree Rainforest. Set on a private family-owned property, this boutique escape combines outstanding natural beauty with modern luxury. There are 3 luxury chalets, each thoughtfully designed for comfort and seclusion, allowing you to unwind in absolute privacy while staying connected to the wonders of the surrounding living landscape. Each chalet is fully self-contained and features its own private spa, spacious interiors and all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. Open plan design allows seamless movement from the air-conditioned interior to shaded exterior deck. Wake to birdsong and butterflies, soak in your spa with sweeping views of the Daintree Valley and Thornton Peak and enjoy evenings surrounded by the sounds of nature. Whether you are seeking a romantic escape, a peaceful getaway or a base for adventure, the chalets at Cassowary Falls provide the perfect balance of style, privacy and location. Guests staying on the property have the opportunity to access Cassowary Falls itself, a spectacular waterfall hidden on the estate. Here you can swim in crystal-clear waters, relax on the rocks, or join one of the guided tours run by the owners. Chalet guests enjoy special reduced rates on these tours, which also open the door to additional activities, from wildlife encounters to exploring the rugged beauty of the Daintree region. Cassowary Falls is family-owned and operated, ensuring every stay is personal and welcoming. The team is passionate about sharing their unique part of the Daintree with visitors, offering insider knowledge and warm hospitality that makes every guest feel at home. With its rare combination of location, privacy and luxury, Cassowary Falls stands apart as more than just accommodation. It is a chance to immerse yourself in the rainforest, discover adventure at your doorstep, and relax in a private sanctuary created with care and attention to detail.

At Cassowary Falls, your stay is hosted by the Garrity family. Andrew is originally from New Zealand and Elizabeth from Western Australia. Before moving to the Daintree, they lived in Australia’s western deserts, where they started their family. They purchased this property as the perfect place to raise their children in a natural paradise with endless outdoor adventures and lifestyle opportunities. Their vision for Cassowary Falls is to provide guests with the chance to experience this same paradise. We are proud to share our private property with visitors, showcasing the remarkable waterfall, pristine rainforest and abundant wildlife. For us, this land is something to be experienced, not just seen. We enjoy welcoming guests from all over the world and hearing their stories, as much as we enjoy sharing our own. Hosting isn’t about formality, it’s about connection. We love seeing guests ease into the slower pace of the rainforest, discover Cassowary Falls on a guided tour, or simply unwind in the privacy of their chalet and spa. As a small family-owned and operated business, we personally look after every detail of your stay. From maintaining the chalets and trails to running the tours, you’ll see us around the property, and we’re always happy to stop for a chat. We take pride in offering genuine hospitality and local knowledge that makes your visit unique. What we enjoy most is sharing moments, pointing out unique flora and fauna, celebrating when someone swims under the falls for the first time, or recommending our favourite spots in the Daintree. We invite you to feel at home here, knowing we’re nearby if you need us. Our family looks forward to meeting you, sharing the magic of Cassowary Falls, and helping make your stay in the Daintree truly unforgettable.

The Daintree Rainforest is the world’s oldest continually surviving tropical rainforest, a place of timeless beauty and evolutionary wonder where plants and animals have adapted together over millions of years. Cassowary Falls is located in the Daintree Valley, just a short drive from Daintree Village. When staying with us, we strongly recommend booking one of our tours. Our 2.5-hour Daintree Rainforest & Waterfall Adventure takes place exclusively on our property. Enjoy an action-packed ride through grassy paddocks and rainforest, splashing across creeks in a UTV, while learning more from our knowledgeable local guides. The highlight is visiting and swimming at Cassowary Falls itself, often alongside turtles and freshwater fish. For a full-day option, our Daintree Waters Day Tour includes all of the above plus a Daintree River Cruise and light lunch, giving you even more time to immerse yourself in this special region. Beyond Cassowary Falls, there are plenty of attractions to explore. Visit Mossman Gorge or Cape Tribulation, go barramundi fishing at Hook-a-Barra, enjoy tastings at the Australian Chocolate Farm, or head out with Ocean Safari for a half-day Great Barrier Reef tour. Whether you’re seeking a rush of off-road adventure, peaceful rainforest moments, wildlife encounters, or snorkelling on the reef, this region has it all. Cassowary Falls is your gateway to some of the Daintree’s best experiences: private, immersive and unforgettable.
