Mungumby Lodge Cooktowns most unique World Heritage Rainforest lodge BnB accommodation experience Our cabins offer ensuite bathrooms and are spacious. Getting here is easy.

Mungumby Lodge just south of Cooktown and north of Port Douglas or Cairns offers quality accommodation for travellers seeking to stay in a BnB lodge that offers a personal experience. Our property is located at the apex of three very distinct landscapes as well as cultures, we are accessible and open year round. They are located within the enclosed gardens and are private. Most guests advise we live in paradise, we wake up to this every day. A top drive from Cairns Airport on the Mulligan Highway is a nice way to travel and suitable for conventional vehicles all year round. Do forget the road to Laura is totally sealed to Laura so why not slip up to the Split Rock art (Queenslands most famous Aboriginal Rock Art) from Lakeland Downs on your way here. Flights to Cooktown are offered x 2 per day Monday-Friday and 1 on Saturday. We also have a private airstrip available next to the lodge. Heli transfers are awesome. Hikes, Mt bikes, fishing or simply bird watching or photography in the garden are our favourites. Cape York offers fantastic bird watching. Birding at Mungumby is popular with many rare and unique species of birds seen directly at the lodge. See if you can spot the elusive Victoria's R***e Bird near the car park! Our guests come from all over the world and around Australia. We also welcome locals from Cape York all the way down to Townsville and many other Australians from all over our great country. The cool Mungumby Lodge air, gardens, and waterfalls flowing all year and not to forget the great breakfasts we prepare.

The fig tree out front at Mungumby Lodge homestead has become a kind of living balcony over the creek — broad branches leaning across the pool, roots gripping the bank, fruit drawing in a constant procession of birds. But the smallest and most charismatic visitors are always the Cyclopsitta diophthalma, the Double-eyed Fig Parrots. Check out the video in the below link

Unwrapping the property tax reforms in 2026

While some details still require legislation and Senate approval, the announced framework is reasonably clear to those who developed it. But is it for you and me? Let’s dig into this to make ourselves more aware!...
