The iconic PK’s Jungle Village, Cape Tribulation, in the Daintree Rainforest is being offered for sale by JLL Hotels & Hospitality’s Senior Vice President Gareth Closter & Vice President Christian Tsalikis.

This extremely sought-after property presents a unique repositioning opportunity to capture the burgeoning eco, cultural and wildlife travel markets. Described by Sir David Attenborough as “the most extraordinary place on earth”, the Daintree is a true bucket list destination and PK’s Jungle Village is a rare opportunity of scale in this stunning location.

Offering 46 rooms/cabins, 20+ camp/caravan sites with a Development Approval to extend this to 71, bar & bistro (with commercial liquor licence), an IGA Convenience Store & souvenir shop, a resort style pool and a 2-bedroom fully self-contained residential manager’s house. Additional income is received from multiple phone tower leases on the property which also provide excellent phone and internet access, which is a benefit in this remote location.

“Once you cross the Daintree River you enter another world in what is a truly unique and stunning experience. It’s easy to see why PK’s Jungle Village has been so popular for so long” Mr Closter said.  “Incoming purchasers could continue to operate the property as-is however there is an outstanding re-positioning opportunity to cater for the eco, cultural or wildlife markets” he continued.

The accommodation is comprised of a total of 46 cabins that are a mix of room types from a queen to an 8-bed dormitory room, all air-conditioned, 20 of which have ensuites. The property holds an accommodation license 226 pax, as required to operate an accommodation facility in the Daintree Rainforest, which is extremely rare and a huge benefit to the owners of PK’s Jungle Village. In addition, the property offers 20+ van/camp sites with a full bar & restaurant which trades extremely well.

Expressions of interest are now being invited for PK’s Jungle Village, Cape Tribulation in what is expected to be a highly competitive sale process. Commenting on the sale, Christian Tsalikis, Vice President at JLL Hotels & Hospitality Group stated, “PK’s Jungle Village represents an extremely rare opportunity to secure a property of scale in such a unique and iconic location. The property has traded extremely well over the past financial year, even in the face of Covid headwinds, which is testament to the quality of the opportunity on offer.”

An incoming purchaser for PK’s Jungle Village has a variety of investment options from continuing to operate the resort as-is, refurbishing and repositioning of the existing improvements or expanding the caravan park via the Development Approval already in place.  A “glamping” style re-positioning of the property is another option for this genuinely irreplaceable property.

Gareth Closter, Senior Vice President at JLL Hotels & Hospitality commented, “Investor confidence in the FNQ is at an all-time high and we expect to see more operators enter this market. The recent sale of Dunk Island and other resorts in the region highlight the trend of southern based buyers pushing north into the Cairns and surrounding markets.”
