Frederique, France

Quiet location which is close to wildlide. Owners went above and beyond to ensure we had a great stay. The air con was a delightful after a day of hiking. The grounds are beautiful and great for families and kids. The cafe has great food and vegetarian options. We will definately be going back i already miss this little treasure.

Alisha, Australia

This place is amazing! The whole atmosphere is so peaceful! I loved this place. Yes the units are older but they are well kept and clean. Price was amazing but the grounds and rainforest walks on the property was the highlight. The owner was amazing and we really enjoyed seeing all his rescued animals. The food at the restaurant was 5 star at a good price. I would highly recommend this amazing place!

Sharlene, Australia

Good animals enclosures , nice bush walking trails .Excellent meals.

Manuel, Australia

I liked the peace and quiet, sleeping next to the wallaby enclosure and the food on the property was awesome. The staff understand vegan and will do their best to veganise options for you. The tofu laksa is amazing.

Cecilia, Australia

The place ,the environment, the atmosphere I've been going to the daintree for 35 years and had three acres there. It was the first time for me three grandsons. Recommend: Cooper Creek Wilderness Insect Museum

Sheldon, United States of America

The food was wholesome and tasty and although we arrived late they pro idef a meal for us

Brian, United Kingdom

Lync Haven really is the perfect stay for a relaxing rainforest experience. We traveled with our 11 month old son and to have the wallaby enclosure backing onto our room was a fun addition. They have the restaurant with great meals and a nice grassed eating area and playground. It’s central for exploring the area too. Lots of birds, snakes and wildlife to experience. Rooms are clean and equipped with everything you need and a decent amount of space. The staff were so friendly, caring and accommodating. Thank you for the stay we loved it!

The bed was a little hard but we are used to a very soft mattress. Otherwise there is not much to not like about this place!

“Old property in need of work.”
- • Leisure trip

- • Stayed 2 nights
Staff seemed indifferent to my arrival. Did not even look at me when checking out. There is no wi-fi available at the property. Walking tracks were not maintained and had large trees fallen across the path making them unusable, Rooms are not serviced. There is a notice in the bathroom advising of all the additional charges should you want your room serviced. Felt quite exposed as the bathroom windows are quite low and people would be walking close by to access the wallaby enclosure. The only sink in the room was in the bathroom next to the toilet and the tap was so low I could not fill up a water bottle. Breakfast was at full price for guests and drinks were charged separately. (Ie you pay for each drink, like tea, coffee, juice). To get around the Daintree area you need a car. Also note that if coming from Cairns you will need to cross the river on the ferry - $28 for a return vehicle fare.
The surrounding rainforest was nice. Did not need to use air conditioning as the ceiling fans were fine.
