Shangri-La: Whyanbeel Valley

Shangri-La

Rating : Lifestyle Exclusive Type : Private Retreat

Description :
If you are looking to seriously escape to a safe haven then this is your Shangri-La with the majestic Daintree Mountains as your vista. This home appeals due to it's very special ambience and solitude. It becomes your own sanctuary. Luxurious and spacious, a relaxing and unforgettable holiday for a family, friends or honeymooners to hideaway. A holistic retreat to rekindle the soul.

The Retreat
The senses are saturated as soon as you enter the 500 metre winding drive through a coconut and mango grove dotted with neem trees and exotics. The stone walled, French provincial design house easily accommodates 6-8 people with an intimate atmosphere. The well travelled owners have paid attention to every detail with special touches that you would only find in the best European havens. The house features a 20 metre 30 degree heated wet edge lap pool with glorious views of the Daintree Mountains. Rediscover the simple pleasures of life. Reading, breathing the mountain air, swimming, exploring the fascinating valley on bicycles, taking a dip in a mountain stream, long walks through the lush unspoiled gardens this property offers. Incredible views to dine by with the mountains luring the sun to bed in spectacular sunsets. A magical private paradise...absolute seclusion.

Accolades
'We have done nothing. So many plans for trips and such before we got here, but as soon as the bags went down so did we. We loved it and thank you so much for being such magnificent hosts - first class all the way!'

'Our time spent at Shangri-La will always be etched in our minds and memories as one of our favourite holidays. The simplicity of just enjoying the amazing views and breathing in the best of the valley has been an indulgent pleasure that has been welcomed by our whole family. The kids have had the time of their life, exploring, learning, discovering and just being free in such a wonderful place. While my husband and I enjoyed relaxing, talking and remembering who we are again. Pure bliss!! Thank you - your hospitality is unrivalled!'
