Steve and Sally are great hosts! At their eco lodge they put emphasis on sustainability, for example in terms of recycling in the perfectly equipped self-catering kitchen (open 24h). If you don't feel like cooking, you can get brekkie, lunch and dinner at the little restaurant. Almost every item on the menu can be made vegan or gluten free and is super yummy! The rooms are very basic (bed, light and fan, that's it) but that's what makes it an eco lodge I guess. You can charge your phone or camera at the power point in the main sitting area but there's no wifi (or reception at all). Hot water for showers is only available in the mornings and evenings. If you don't need a 3 star hotel but are happy to live a bit more basic the Crocodylus Village is your must stay stop in Daintree and Steve and Sally will be happy to point out what to do from there.

When booking we were entirely aware that we were in for some basic accommodation that was fairly remote - with no wifi - and that was exactly what we were looking for. Admittedly phone coverage at times would have made planing the next day's outings a little more helpful. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful providing insight into all local attractions and things to do. Darlene is a star - she couldn't do enough to try and help or provide advice and was just so genuine. It wasn't until the second day there that I learnt that Jack who seemed to always be preparing meals in the kitchen for those staying was a member of the owner's family - a great guy, easy to talk to and also very helpful.

I loved sleeping surrounded by the noises of the rainforest.

The compound was well maintained and staffed with friendly and helpful people. We each bought a delicious dinner from the kitchen that was so generous that a portion became lunch for the next day. The platform tent rooms, though basic were very clean and the bed quite comfortable. This is a great base from which to explore the coastal section of Daintree National Park. Just a few kilometers east where the road dead ends is a Cow Bay Beach, an excellent place to walk the shore with a long sandy strand and fascinating outcropping of rocks.
