MUNGUMBY LODGE, COOKTOWN

MUNGUMBY LODGE

GREATER DAINTREE RAINFOREST

A boutique wilderness retreat just south of Cooktown, the main draw of Mungumby Lodge is its proximity to the magnificent, biologically-diverse Greater Daintree Rainforest.

Surrounded by a timeless rainforest, towering peaks and spring-fed creeks, a stay at Mungumby Lodge is a chance to escape the madding crowd while exploring north Queensland’s pristine wilderness. Within walking distance are opportunities to observe unique indigenous wildlife, swim in jungle waterfalls and be immersed in the rich Aboriginal culture. Inland lakes offer great birdwatching, whilst the lodge’s enviable setting on the Great Barrier Reef coast promises rewarding snorkelling and diving experiences.

BEAUTIFUL MUGUMBY CREEK

Nestled within the lodge’s tropical gardens are 10 standalone wooden bungalows. Each is comfortably furnished with a private patio where you can unwind whilst keeping an eye out for local birds. The main homestead has wide-open living areas overlooking the beautiful Mugumby Creek – the perfect place to enjoy breakfast and catch up on some reading. A swimming pool and BBQ pavilion are also among the lodge’s facilities.

“FAULTLESS AND FUN”

We’ve just returned from a Danube cruise with Douglas Skeggs and Joanna Worsley, with a few days in Vienna beforehand – all brilliantly overseen by Emily. From meet and greet at the airport to every detail on board the Amadeus Cara, the organisation was seamless. We’re already looking forward to our next Escorted Tour with The Ultimate Travel Company.

“A TRIP OF A LIFETIME, PERFECTLY PLANNED”

Dear Claire, our trip was 100% amazing. We fell in love with Chile. I love how we were introduced to all of the different parts of the country. Our family was engaged in all of the fun from beginning to end. The lodges were just perfection. I wouldn’t have changed a thing. I really appreciate all you did to make our trip a trip of a lifetime.

“FLAWLESS, AGAIN”

This is the third time I’ve used TUTC. The service, as before, was flawless. Aside from putting in place all the major details of a complex trip to Japan, Dan at TUTC nailed every detail: train tickets were for seats with large luggage space (very important in Japan, as we discovered); a mobile internet wifi was included; together with a pre-charged use-pretty-much-anywhere travel card (again, important – Japan has multiple transport companies). For any kind of complex trip I won’t go anywhere else.
