At low tide, explore South Wonga Beach's own coral reef with its tidal pools and interesting microcosms. Migratory shore birds visit and many tropical birds inhabit the beach forest where traversing walkways and a few historic sites can be found. We provide deluxe canopy chairs, and picnic gear for you to while timelessly away at the shore.

WORLD HERITAGE WONDERLAND
Reef Cottage is your ideal base from which to explore two of Australia’s UNESCO World Heritage listed sites. This area is known for unique leisure activities such as Great Barrier Reef tours, eco island trips, wildlife species spotting, birding, rainforest trekking, river sports, jungle surfing as well as its aboriginal culture.

We are avid nature lovers and have stocked the Cottage with resources including natural history and science books, videos, scouter binocular and research material to help you plan your excursions. Small group private boat charter may also be arranged for exclusive Great Barrier Reef touring.

In-house chef services may be arranged upon request. For self-catering guests, our gourmet kitchen comes with quality kitchenware, appliances, condiments, coffee (powder & pods) and choice of teas. If you are dining out, a short drive to Mossman, Port Douglas or Daintree Village, will lead to many excellent restaurants and cafes.

* LOCATION
Reef Cottage's location is lovely for a relaxing, romantic holiday by an unspoilt beach, and especially suitable for nature lovers visiting two fascinating World Heritage sites. The Cottage is in a residential suburb and has its own habitat with birds and butterflies whose vibrancy peaks in Spring. We are 2 minutes away from the South Wonga Beach shops. If you are looking for a resort with walking distance restaurants, bars and shopping arcades, our location will not be suitable for you.
