to get started.

Was like living in the middle of a wildlife sanctuary. The owners there are really passionate about the rainforest and regularly take in injured / abandoned animals to rehabilitate on top of taking care of the guests and amenities. Had a really good time interacting with the animals. Dinner that they served was also good. Aircon was more than adequate to keep us cool and location was really well placed to drive to all the main lookout and trekking spots.

The wallaby feeding was great. The rainforest on site was as good as anywhere in the Daintree and best of all it was the only place I saw a cassowary!

Rebecca

Good location, surrounded by beautiful rainforest with walking trails. A haven for orphaned wildlife, so lots of wallabies and parrots to see. Nice restaurant on premises with reasonably priced meals and drinks. Guest laundry. Friendly staff.

We found some insects in the (bath)room. To be honest: this location is in the middle of a rainforest, keep that in mind. Not sure if you will find any hotel/motel without bugs...
Friendly staff and their walibi take-care facility.

Would have been nice to have a communal fire/more ambience after dinner time and somewhere to swim on the property. Accommodation was basic but decent for the price so I can’t really complain.

The bathroom needs repair/ renovation. It is a bit run down. Would have been nice to have some cutleries in the room.
I liked the location, food, open space for kids and the kangaroo enclosure.

“Untrustworthy and mean host”

The owner was very irresponsible. We were told there would be a guided tour at 10am next morning and we told the staff we would join. We cut short our walk on the forest grounds the next morning and went to cafe 10 minutes before 10. We waited for 15 minutes before the owner returned from feeding his crocodiles, and told us he went off just as we came. We wasted a half hour precious day time for this nonsense. He had no passion for the clients at all and the two couples left rather defeated. Cabin was good sized, but not a single cabinet, hook or hanger for clothes was available. Hot water was thready and very intermittent, hardly long enough to rinse the hair. The communal kitchen had only one flat pan, not a single pot for soup. Wonder how two persons can use the kitchen at any one time!
The location, at centre in Cape Tribulation after ferry crossing

“Nice location with good restaurant and lovely wildlife..”
- • Leisure trip

No privacy in unit unless you closed the curtains because it had an access road on one side and a public walkway on the other. Poor lighting in main living area - suggest a table lamp to supplement the one dim overhead light. Old rusty fridge with a missing foot, so it tipped when you opened it and things fell out. Had not been defrosted for a while - the freezer compartment was completed iced up. Provided a toaster, but no plates or cutlery. Very slippery floor tiles in bathroom and shower. The whole unit was uninviting and sparse - not much furniture - only a small sofa with no side tables, so you couldn't put anything down when you sat on it. Good size but really needs updating.
Good location, surrounded by beautiful rainforest with walking trails. A haven for orphaned wildlife, so lots of wallabies and parrots to see. Nice restaurant on premises with reasonably priced meals and drinks. Guest laundry. Friendly staff.
