Forest Oasis!
Hidden gem in the Daintree, individual cabins immersed in the rainforest. Onsite restaurant serving surprisingly good grub given the remote location! Rooms are spacious, comfortable and clean. Fabulous base from which to explore the Daintree. Great Barrier Reef easily accessible from nearby Cape Tribulation.

Lovely stay away from it all
If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle then this is the place for you. It's very peaceful, the only noise you'll hear is the animals of the forest
Rooms are lovely and comfortable.
Chloe was very attentive and nothing was too much trouble.

We saw a cassowary close up within a few minutes of our check in! The food was very good (limited menu). The staff were very friendly and helpful.

We had a great one night stay. The cabins were thoughtfully set up to ensure a comfortable stay. The cabins were light and airy and really maximised the experience of staying in the rainforest. Also saw a cassowary come feed near the main board walk - the experience was surreal!

Staying in a cabin in a rainforest is always going to be unique. The cabin was well equipped and spacious. The dining system worked well and our hostess was knowledgeable and helpful. We particularly liked the walk available around the property which was marked out by pink ribbons.

Nice location that is quiet. Beware that there is no wifi in your room or cable. They have dvd players but the movies they have are old. Some maintenance does need to be completed on the room and some extra cleaning in certain areas that collect dust.

Five star location, three star resort
The location is beautiful amongst the trees. The cabins and public area's are tired and need repair. From a price point the cabins are quite expensive and not well maintained.

Magical accommodation
Fantastic accommodation deep in the world’s oldest rainforest. 7 secluded cabins reached by boardwalks. Bathroom with a glass wall facing the forest. Comfortable, well kept rooms. Restaurant serving breakfast and dinner, nice food. Very nice staff. Cassowaries and feral pigs in the immediate vicinity. Frogs and toads croaking through the night. A truly magical place to be!

Secluded rainforest accommodation in need of reno
We recently spent a night at the Daintree Wilderness Lodge as part of our honeymoon. The location was gorgeous being within the Daintree rainforest, however this also meant it was quite isolated. Despite there being a restaurant onsite with limited menu selections, other dining options were about a 26 minute drive away.
Unfortunately the cabins were in need of a refresh, as they felt quite old and rundown. The cabins had an old and small tv, an aircon which wasn’t adjustable, and the rooms had an overall dark and damp feeling to it.
All staff were really lovely and friendly.
A nice place to stay if you’re after a remote stay in the rainforest, however we didn’t feel it was a good value for money given the high price and condition of the accommodation.

I felt that you don't get value for money!!!
Spa a non event with lack of time availability and no where to sit comfortably around the area and to order anything eg drink from the bar you have to go to reception to ring for service and feel like you are interrupting
no blow-dryer in the room as mentioned in ammenties which was annoying discovering this on the day of checkout when i wanted to ne better presented for the Airport.
I generally felt the whole stay lacked a nice welcoming vibe

You are elevated off the forest floor and are in private cabins that are connected via walkways. The staff are all very friendly and knowledgeable about the area and things to do!

A great splurge
Jason and Lee were very welcoming. We felt right at home. It is a very secluded location with every guest having privacy. There are only 7 rooms and each one has a shower with floor to ceiling glass so you feel like you are showering in the rain forest. They provide a great breakfast and also offer dinner. We had 2 of our dinners there and they were very good.

There was nothing we didn’t like. Loved the wilderness environment and its quiet seclusion, the Nature Walk and the dining experience. Special thanks to Ann who made every effort to help us sight Cassowaries, and who was a delightful staff member. It was my second time at the lodge and lived up to every memory. Angela and Di.
