The quiet and off the grid the host were exceptional

Location was amazing

Perfect idyllic setting, immersed in nature. James and Ali are such wonderful hosts, and we even saw the same cassowary every morning coming for a visit. The cottage is very comfortable and lovely, and no mosquitoes for some reason, couldn’t have asked for a better stay!

The private water falls and swim area was magnificent!

The bedroom doesn't have airconditioning. We spent most of our time outside would be great if there was a day bed to share and some outdoor sun lounge chairs were available.

Loved the location, views, private creek & waterfalls at your door step and the fact the place generates it's own power via hydro electricity.

Everything was great! Thanks James and Ali

The location is so beautiful and peaceful....we didn't want to leave! The cottage is very private, clean and comfortable. The property is completely off grid, utilising hydro electricity which is reliable and produces plenty of power for the property, while being environmentally friendly. The most amazing part is the private swimming hole just metres away from your door, with a view of the waterfall and the sounds of the rainforest all around you. We were lucky enough to have a small turtle sharing the swimming hole with us the first day we were there :)

There was nothing to dislike

Everything was absolutely beautiful! From the cottage itself to the sounds of the stream and rainforest. This was the best experience I have had in a very long time

Privacy, and position on the property was ideal to catch the winter sun. The sound of the river flowing 24/7 exuded a sense of complete immersion into nature

Nothing really ., although difficult to dry clothes when we were there but what do you expect it’s a rainforest Also , very disappointed not to see the animals mentioned in the handbook , they were being shy … but very glad it was true there were no crocs in the swimming hole , I think it was said ‘oh no we NEVER get crocs in there….😱

Beautiful location in rainforest , quite magical next to swimming hole , the cabin itself was really nicely done, good kitchen equipment , nice bathroom, fabulous bed . No wifi- probably a good thing !! We played scrabble twice which was great esp as I won !

Daintree Cascades is a very special place - we stayed in the cottage and had access to our own crystal clear cascades and swimming hole surrounded by luxuriant rainforest. The cottage is very comfortable, provides everything you need for a self-catering stay and is close to everywhere you'd want to go in the Daintree/Cape Tribulation area. It's very close to Thornton Beach which is wonderful for a long walk and has a great cafe. There is no internet or phone reception and this was a plus for us, four nights of digital detox was just what we needed - total relaxation. Seeing a Cassowary and chick nearby was also a plus. I'd also recommend Cooper Creek Wilderness Tours for a wonderful walking tour through world heritage rainforest.

Not much! A tea towel and oven gloves for the kitchen weren't supplied. Maybe tea lights and incense sticks for the outside setting would be a nice touch.

The location of the cottage was exceptional. Very secluded setting, surrounded by pristine rainforest. The self-contained cottage was very clean, cooking facilities were good. There were two outdoor settings to enjoy the private cascading stream and waterhole. The relaxing sound of running water was a highlight of our stay.

It would be hard to think of anything that wasn’t perfect.

Cutest cottage surrounded by nature. James and Ali were the kindest hosts.

Nothing at all..

The whole place itself. Cottage is self-contained and everything was so beautifully presented. We enjoyed ourselves in the prestine views of the rainforest, with a private natural pool and to the sound of water flowing down the creek. Wouldn't have asked for more

Suggest having some dry wood stacked somewhere for the outdoor fire (or remove outdoor fire) and long life milk for tea/coffee. Otherwise literally faultless.

Location was exceptional. Property was immaculately clean and beautiful.

Located in absolutely spectacular rainforest. Lush foliage including the most beautiful tree ferns. Pristine creek close by. Lovely aspect from patio. Very large comfortable bed, full size gas stove and oven, big refrigerator.

in general no. no wifi might be hard, but that’s the purpose of the stay, away from city life and unplug!

Honestly liked everything

Wow! what an amazing place, like our own hidden piece of paradise. So good to get out of the city and back to nature. Surprised my partner for her 26th and pleased to say she loved it! Loved the private swimming hole, and was immaculately presented. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Really enjoyable stay. Nice to be off grid while staying there and just enjoying the elements. A great place for those who love exploring the outdoors. You will need to put up with bugs but obviously understandable.

Stayed in November 2022

The bed head could do with a dusting/clean and the mattress is a bit too soft-poor lumbar support. One towel rail needs fixing. A little coffee machine would have been lovely. But these things didn't detract significantly.

Great private setting in the rain forest adjacent to the creek and cascades. A dip in the swimming hole was very refreshing after a day exploring the Daintree. The early morning dip in the swimming hole shared with the resident gecko, who didn't mind being photographed, fish and birds was just as good. The off-grid cottage is great for a tranquil 2 night stay for a couple wanting to get away from phone and internet. The location is great for exploring Cape Tribulation and the Daintree region. Sadly, we didn't see a live crock. Well worth a visit. Coffee and lunch at the cafe on beautiful Thornton Beach, 3 kms drive, is also not to be missed.
