The staff were extremely nice, helpful and genuinely good people. They were enough to make our stay amazing all on their own. The room itself was very unique and comfortable, being set back in the trees amongst the rainforest. Totally surreal and wish we had more time

Friendly Staff and assistance in planning the visit to sights and the surrounding areas. Well located to visit the rain forest attractions. location and ambience of the cabins had an earthy feel

Disconnected from the rest of the world! With no phone service and very limited internet is was great to unplug from the the hustle and bustle of our daily lives. It was great to fall asleep listing to the all the amazing sounds under the rain forest canopy.

Wonderful cabin in the rainforest. Very secluded and quiet. Meals were terrific. Cabin comfortable and well appointed. Watched all sorts of wildlife right off of our porch.

Great location in the heart of the Daintree Forest. Very private bungalows make you feel like you’re the only ones there! Absolutely loved everything about this place from the amazing Cassowaries that roam the property to the incredible meals prepared by chef Scott in the lodge’s Cycad restaurant. Make sure you try the Barramundi, this was spectacular! The helpful and friendly staff and the manager Margaret were a great source of local knowledge and able to provide great tips for things to see and do. The lodge even has it’s own nature walk through the rainforest. You can’t go past this place for an eco-friendly holiday destination close to everything the Daintree has to offer.

Loved that the accommodation was in the middle of the rainforest, the room has lots of windows even the bathroom, you feel like you are taking a shower in the rainforest as you can see everything around you, with that you have the utmost privacy. the room was well equipped and very comfortable. Breakfast was excellent and our host was amazing. She even accommodated our request to have breakfast early on the last morning before our flight. Highly recommend this place, it was very romantic.

Only criticize cost of meals. Large helpings not needed. Would have liked smaller options. I found the whole experience a joy. Compared to Echo Lodge for instance, its a little "tired" and i think more decorative elements could be used. Aboriginal cloth, artworks, i was full of ideas.

Amazing destination in the heart of the Daintree. Clean and fresh rooms, with an amazing shower with glass window looking out to a beautiful rainforest view! We also saw a Cassowary while eating breakfast! Will definitely stay here again with other friends. Thanks for a great stay.

“While the location is lovely, the room is heavily overpriced!”

Could not see through the roof to the tree canopy as advertised- roof was not cleaned for some time. Had to ask for extra privacy for the bathroom as the shower is an full length open window looking into the rainforest however the shower in cabin 7 can be seen from the spa area quite easily during the day and at night, first night I showered in the dark. There is aircon however it’s set to a temperature that is warmer then outside which is centrally controlled and can’t be changed so there’s no point in having it on, the fan has to be on high and rattles through the night. Dinner is not available every night, dinner is expensive and the choices are not for everyone, better affordable options are offsite. if you don’t book in for dinner, they tell you the restaurant is full regardless of there only being 7 cabins. vertical blinds were missing from the room, when enquired they said it was to take in the rainforest view to the room, however walkways to the other cabins were outside and I had to put a blanket up for privacy or others could look straight in, especially at night when a light was on! The bed is incredibly hard, my partner and I had sore backs each morning from the mattress. We were booked in for 4 nights and left after 3 due to all of these issues, has potential to be a lot better!
The room is nestled in the rainforest and perfect location to spend a few nights to unwind. Breakfast was great!

We ordered dinner on the first night of our stay and although the food was really tasty we did find it slightly overpriced compared to other places within the Daintree. We were disappointed too with not being able to select a dinner time any later than 1830. We didn't see any other guests or visitors eating at dinner otherwise - we definitely think more can be made of the restaurant here. We didn't try the pool but it didn't appear to be clean - we didn't see it being used by any of the other guests during our stay. Despite these minor issues, we had a great stay and would definitely love to visit again in the future.
Incredible property within the rainforest. The ambition of its creator is inspiring, and it's obvious how much care he took to preserve the site as much as possible during its construction. You are able to appreciate the forest in this place. The manager of the property was kind and very knowledgeable, offering us a range of ideas and suggestions to maximise our time in the Daintree. The cabin we stayed in was light and comfortable, though one of the blinds was completely absent (this had no real impact as there is glass everywhere and the room is flooded with light first thing in the morning and helps you make the most of the day). Bathroom was modern and shower fantastic. Breakfast was delicious.
