Noah Creek Daintree Eco Huts & Trail Reserve
Noah Creek’s Daintree eco huts sit inside a private 500-acre rainforest reserve at Thornton Beach, between Cape Tribulation and the Daintree River. They’re surrounded by World Heritage National Park. Stay off-grid in a lodge, hut or glamping tent, then walk eight private trails to waterfalls, swimming holes and mountain lookouts. Only guests can reach those trails.
ECO-HUT & GLAMPING ACCOMMODATION
Six ways to stay, from family lodges for eight to creek-side tents for two.
Hiking &
Walking Trails
Eight graded trails, from a 10-minute walk to a guided summit trek.
Daintree – Cape Tribulation Location
About 1 hour from Port Douglas, 2 hours from Cairns.
Daintree Eco Huts, Lodges & Glamping in the Rainforest
More than a place to stay. A place to connect.
Noah Creek is a private World Heritage rainforest reserve in the Daintree, Cape Tribulation, and the largest in the area. Access is by booking only. That keeps the reserve quiet, the trails in good shape and the creeks clear.
Every stay runs on solar power and has a kitchen, hot water, a gas BBQ, bedding and a modern bathroom. Families and groups can take The Lodge House or The Ridge House. Each sleeps up to eight, and the Ridge House is raised for ocean and mountain views. Couples tend to choose the Ochre Hut or Bower Hut, our luxury glamping huts with garden en-suites. The Glamping Eco-Huts and creek-side Glamping Eco-Tents suit two people who want to be as close to the forest as possible.
Your rate includes access to the trail reserve. We recommend staying at least two nights so you have time to walk it.

Featured Highlights
Private Rainforest Trails, Only for Guests
Most visitors to the Daintree see it from a public boardwalk. At Noah Creek you get eight graded trails of your own through Noah Valley:
- Short walks: Dragon’s Hole (10–15 min), The Mill Trail loop (30–40 min) and the Riverside Boardwalk
- Half-day walks: Quarry to Beach (1–2 hr), Hut to Hut Link and the Fossil Falls Creek Hop. Fossil Falls is the hardest of the three.
- Full-day treks: Mount Emmett Summit (5–6 hr) and Table Top Mountain (6–7 hr loop). You need a guide for both.
Along the way are swimming holes, fossil-bed creeks, the remains of the old sawmill and the occasional cassowary. Please log out and in with the Reserve Manager before you head off.
