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.

“EXPERTLY TAILORED, EFFORTLESSLY ENJOYABLE”
We travelled to Indochina in January/February with an itinerary designed by The Ultimate Travel Company – and it was spot on. Rob, our consultant, really understood what we were looking for and created a journey that suited us perfectly. The choice of hotels was excellent, and the pace was just right, with enough time built in to relax and recharge between the different experiences. The service throughout was professional, personal and thoughtful – exactly what you want from a travel specialist.

“EVERY TRIP EXCELLENT – AND MORE TO COME”
I’ve been on several small group holidays with The Ultimate Travel Company and every one has been outstanding. My most recent trip in February was no exception – expertly organised, responsive to questions, and full of memorable experiences. The itineraries are well thought out, the hotels top-notch, and the group sizes just right. Their tour leaders are knowledgeable, supportive and great company. I haven’t looked elsewhere since discovering Ultimate – and I’m already planning my next.

“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.
