Formerly home to the Daintree Wild Zoo, this substantial freehold property at 2054 Mossman Daintree Road, Wonga Beach offers a rare and versatile opportunity in one of Far North Queensland's most iconic natural settings.
Set on approximately 1.91ha of Rural-zoned land along the Mossman-Daintree corridor, the site retains a distinctive collection of improvements and infrastructure from its previous life as a wildlife attraction and guest accommodation venue. Existing facilities include six guest accommodation rooms/suites, a commercial kitchen, restaurant/bar, function centre, boardwalks, ponds and remnants of the original zoo layout, all set within a lush mix of grassed and vegetated areas that create a botanical garden feel.
The property is well positioned for either a commercial or lifestyle outcome (STCA). For buyers seeking to restart or reimagine a tourism and hospitality operation, it provides an established foundation for boutique eco-tourism, a wellness sanctuary, guest accommodation or a hospitality destination, with main-road exposure and proximity to the Daintree and Cape Tribulation. For those wanting a private home, the scale and existing improvements lend themselves to a grand two-level tropical residence and nature sanctuary with extensive grounds, accommodation wings and outdoor spaces.
