Resort Daintree Wilderness Lodge

83 Cape Tribulation Road, 4873 Daintree, Australia –

Lock in a great price for Daintree Wilderness Lodge - rated 8.7 by recent guests.

to get started.

What an absolutely amazing relaxing place to stay. It was raining off and on while we were there which added to the “rainforest” experience. Margaret gave us a rundown on the surrounding area so off we went enjoying swimming in fresh waterholes and exploring this beautiful region. Our cabin was very clean and comfortable with the most amazing view of the forest from every room. We felt very private in our very own oasis with the cabins being spaced perfectly apart. Breakfast was wonderful and tasty and yes Mike is an expert on those poached eggs. Thank you to you both for a memorable experience. Jo & Steve.

Daisy was very positive & knowledgeable about the area. Entertainment (DVD's &games) available. Good dinner & breakfast highlight was the visiting male cassowary & his chicks.

Straight out in the thickest rainforest you find these small but luxury ”bungalows”! Each and every one of them have their own wooden boardwalk up to the front door! Outside, around the whole little bungalow, there’s nothing but beautiful rainforest! Wow! And in the night, all the wierd sounds! Both scary and fantastic! :) Eat dinner (and breakfast) at their own restaurant (outstanding food!!) and just inhale the whole surrounding. It’s mindblowing! And the personell is supersweet and funny! Superservice and lots of info about the forest and it’s inhabitants :) We would go back in a heartbeat! //Rosanna and Jonas, Sweden

Staying at the wilderness lodge was amazing. The location was great, nestled deep in the rainforest. Each cabin had its own boardwalk making it very private. The service was great and Jennifer was the perfect host. Would definitely recommend staying here.

Sylvia, Australia

All the facilities and rooms were set in the rain forest and that a family of cassowaries visited us daily. The room we had was very comfortable and the meals were excellent. The managers were ultra friendly and provided advice that ensured our visit achieved all that we wanted. This is a venue that caters for a small number of people. So we got to have some contact with the other people staying at the lodge as well.

“Disappointing ”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Rainforest Cabin with Balcony
- • Stayed 3 nights
- • Submitted via mobile
Everything else was a complete disappointment. We paid a lot of money for a 3 night stay to arrive to what can best be described as a shambles. The place is between owners and although the elderly couple who had basically been left to run in tried their best it was just a disappointing stay. The food was certainly not the best north of the Daintree as a previous review indicated. Yet as still paid top price. No drink at the bar for my husband (stocks low to zero) so he had to fetch one from our car which we were then charged for until I pointed it out!! The fire alarm battery in our cabin was running down and beeping every few minutes. We had it removed but it wasn’t replaced. If I had known the situation I would not have booked and will be writing to request some sort of refund. What should have been the highlight of our holiday ended up being the lowest.
Setting is amazing

The resort is very tired, with broken bedlamps and missing fire alarm, only one hairdryer for the 7 rooms. For the money we paid per night, these issues should have been resolved easily. Resort is in between owners, and the caretaker couple tried hard, but had no advice, no information, had not completed the resort circuit walk to advise. Once again very poor value for money
Setting was great in a palm cove, a good wilderness setting.

“Feel the rainforest”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Rainforest Cabin with Balcony
- • Stayed 1 night
The lodge is under the wondrous rainforest canopy, so expect to feel a little damp and even cold, even though the cabins are waterproof. The dampness is in the air, even when it's not raining, and no sunlight penetrates the canopy. I'm not convinced about the pricing of this lodge, though I appreciate the effort it must take to keep the place from rotting away, and the physical challenges of bringing in supplies etc. We stayed one night, an enjoyable experience, but I'd hesitate to book for longer.
Long-term managers David and Jennifer were about to leave, so their general loveliness, good cheer and David's fine culinary skills are now irrelevant. Good luck to the incoming staff. The staff are key to the lodge experience, I'd suggest. Do the nature walk (about 40 mins), and enjoy the relative silence and darkness of the encompassing rainforest. Wild life is there for the observant, but even regular guests (like ourselves) can see a cassowary if she cares to visit after breakfast.
