A beautiful property nestled between Port Douglas and Cairns. The Perfect base to settle in and make your way to the many attractions north and south of us. We have Hartleys Creek Running Through our Place and is a year round waterway untouched and full of Marine life, both fresh and salt Water. Directly opposite us is the stunning Wangetti beach which is 5 kilometres long and overlooks the islands. Amazing to watch sun up or sun down or sipping a favorite and contemplating life... Behind us is a popular waterfall (hartleys Falls). it is a moderate 50 minute walk to ancient and amazing rock pools and swimming holes. The water is cool and pristine. We are also 500 meters away from Cairns biggest Tourist attraction, Hartleys Crocodile Adventures. This is a Award winning Tropical Zoo. Please Contact me for a 10% discount voucher on arrival. Ten minute Drive to shops. (Coles/liquor/Pizza/Post Office/Medical. 25 minutes to Port Douglas and 40 minutes to Cairns. Pets Allowed. Dogs Must be kept on Lead at all times. Please no aggressive Dogs, as we have some of our own that we love. Timber available for fires. Safe Travels, DeanA scenic and relaxing spot only Metres to Hartleys Creek, with both fresh water all year round and estuary further down with an abundance of fish such as mangrove jack,archer fish, and Barramundi. We respectfully request that fishing in the creek is not allowed but plenty of good fishing is to be had at wangetti Beach across the road. A gazbo area is provided for dining with BBQ availability,and a paved creek viewing deck for a cold beer or taking time out in a hammock Hartleys Creek retreat was once a popular tropical zoo 20 years ago. It is now a retreat surrounded by world heritage forest. A bonus for bird lovers. We have a locally popular waterfall behind us named Hartleys Falls. It is a 35-40 minute walk along a forest trail. Difficulty score of around 6. On arrival you will be amazed at the flat rock water falls, with pristine water from the mountains. For the more adventurous continue to the Hartleys Falls. An additional 30-40 minutes. Amazing ancient waterfall surrounded by old growth forest with root systems encapsulating the smooth rock boulders along the creek system. Bring a camera. This site suits caravans and RV more so than tents.

We loved the peaceful camp-site by the river. Dean was very responsive and the modern and clean facilities were an added bonus. Great location to visit Harley's Crocodile Adventure and bush walk into Harley Falls.

Dean is the perfect host—friendly, welcoming, and very accommodating without being intrusive. Each site has plenty of space to itself, and the new amenities block was lovely and clean. Really enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again. Highly recommend.
