Hi I'm Glenn, It's great to meet you! I've spent most of my life living in many different places but finally found a home in the jungle amidst the incredible landscape and beauty of Cape Tribulation. I adore the reef and the wonderful climate. I enjoy property development, fishing and renovating and exploring nature with my lovely partner and dogs. As well as driving and riding things that go fast! I have previously hosted many accommodation properties, and I'm thrilled about making Alena Star House a 5-star property a unique and unforgettable experience for guests. I often note when I travel how things could be better, and am passionate about improving what I can offer guests. Additionally bringing civilized comfort into off-grid living has been a wonderful experience with ingenuity! So far, it's worked! On Airbnb, we have received all 5-star reviews and made many beautiful connections with people from several different countries who have loved staying on our beautiful property I am excited about welcoming and caring for the guests we will host in the future and would love this to be you! We are happy to greet you and interact or respect your privacy as needed, it is entirely up to you. One of us is usually on the property and is contactable if required. We have an extensive operational manual in the Star House and everything in place to make your stay flow as best as possible. Nothing is worse than staying somewhere not to find things or know how to operate them! We offer a contactless check-in process for your convenience. You are free to come and go as you please. There is also a fully comprehensive local guide with maps to help you easily navigate Cape Tribulation and the surrounding area's activities. Looking forward to meeting you and your loved ones soon! :)
