    The private location was amazing, views of the the rainforest from every window. Loved the open plan living and the decking to sit out on. Paul our host was so friendly and accomodating, giving us local knowledge on places to see and eat.

    Whilst the remote location is great for the immersion in the rainforest it also means you have to drive everywhere for any meals. Maybe a breakfast package would be a good idea?

    Superb location in the rainforest It’s glazed pretty much all the way around so you feel like you’re really in the forest

    Perfect! 10 out of 10. A cabin hidden in the rainforest by a running creek in the Daintree..... Nature at its best. The accommodation is Very Private... Great Views from the studio's many windows, even from the Shower! Set in a Fantastic location. Beautiful spot on the map in NQ. Close to Restaurants and Cafes in Cape Trib. And of course, Cape Tribulation itself. We had a beautiful refreshing Dip in the freshwater. The Creek was flowing fast thanks to recent rain falls. The sound alone from the water flowing through the rocks from the Balcony was mesmerising. Fantastic Hosts.... Paul didn't miss a thing in the studio for our stay! This place is "Good for the Soul"

    Highly recommend Black Palm! The accommodation was immaculate and luxurious. The host, Paul, was friendly and very helpful. I was extremely impressed with how the cabin remained bug-free in the middle of the rainforest. This accomodation has everything you need for a comfortable stay. We will definitely return - Black Palm was the highlight of our trip to FNQ!

    Black Palm was truely a very special, unique getaway. Located deep in the rainforest away from any one, and anything, except for the sounds of the birds and the running water of the creek. Exceptional Accomadation for those who are wanting serenity, relaxation and a place to rejuvenate, but only a short drive to local restaurants and Cape Tribulation township, the beach and local activities. Spotlessly clean with a double spa bath, double showers, kitchenette, super amazing huge comfortable king bed with heaps of pillows, TV, outdoor balcony, covered car parking- everything we needed for total rest and relaxation away from the worries of the world.

    Incredible location nestled in the oldest rainforest in the world. Running creek can be heard from bed and the water in the house comes from the same creek. Absolutely loved having a rainwater shower in the rainforest! It was wonderful to get away from city life.

    The air conditioning didn't seem to be working at its best, but the place is made of mostly glass and its a very warm location, so we understood. The accommodation also runs on off-grid power, so we were conscious of that too. We would've kept the windows open at night but there were no screens, so really HAD to use the aircon.

    This stay was just beautiful and exceeded our expectations. We had asked for a breakfast included for both days and were overwhelmed at the amount of food supplied, its was amazing and very appreciated.

    Absolutely stunning villa amongst the rainforest - surrounded by greenery in every direction and just the sound of the birds. We had a wonderful time relaxing here, and will be back again (hopefully when the creek is running). Bed was very comfortable, and the spa and rain shower added luxurious touches. Paul and Wilma were helpful and welcoming too, and completed the experience.

    The kitchen, fridge and stove area are quite small and it was difficult to fit multiple pans/saucepans kn the stovetop. We had bought our own food as we didn’t know what to expect in Cape Tribulation. Best to bring along the bare essentials first, check out the facilities at the accommodation then go for a grocery shop.

    My partner and I stayed at the Black Palm for our last two nights in Cape Tribulation and it was beautiful. The accommodation itself was amazing, with 360* views of the rainforest it felt like we were in our own little world.

    No suggestions, all was perfect.

    Even with how gorgeous the accommodation looked in pictures - our stay absolutely exceeded our expectations! The cabin was clean, modern, surprisingly spacious, luxurious and private...we felt like we were in our own little spa oasis just minutes drive away from the heart of Cape Trib. Paul was very helpful with letting us know about the amenities and the local area and gave us fantastic advice about places to get a great feed. The bed was very comfy, the spa was absolutely lovely and every view (even from the bathroom) was absolutely exceptional. And on top of that, opening the windows to hear the pristine creek running by our doorstep was absolute heaven. We cannot wait to come back again.

    Stunning place in the rain forest - can’t fault the ambience, location or the owner Paul who was just the best host. Sitting in the spa in the treetops is soul medicine and we were very sad to leave. Treat yourself - you will not regret it!!
