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.

Quiet, Clean Site on the Creek :)
Beautiful spot within walking distance to Hartleys Croc Adventures! Dean was friendly, responsive and accomodating. The shower/toilet facility was very clean and the sites back onto a clear flowing creek. Would highly recommend to anyone passing through or in need of a last minute powered site :)

Hidden gem
It was a unique setting, we had a spot right by the creek and a lovely outdoor sitting area to ourselves. The bathroom/laundry provided was very modern and accessible. The site was level and gravel, which made it easy to park and stay hitched up. The caretakers were lovely and very friendly and putting alot of work into the property. We have a large van and it was easy enough to manouevre.

Great place to camp
We had the most wonderful time at this Hipcamp. Superb setting. Great walk to Hartley Falls next door. Spent some time in the creek cooling off. Facilities were immaculate. Power, water and really flash bathroom. Very friendly crew. A short drive to Port Douglas and Palm Cove …. where we shopped and swam. Will be back as quickly as we can.
