    space, comfort, wide verandah. We had 4 teenage/young adult kids. They all enjoyed their own room/space. it was a bit of a spoil to have all 6 of us in such a comfortable home. The pool table at the property was the deciding factor in booking...

Wait A While Daintree is one of the largest single dwellings built in the Daintree area. It is an open plan house which is great for friends and families to come together and it is set on 3 acres surrounded by rainforest.
I have been in Far North Queensland for 21yrs. I love the beach, the warm weather and the lovely community spirit of Port Douglas.
The Daintree area has a population of around 1000 people who live year round. It is a small community with people who love and appreciate the Rainforest and World Heritage areas.
