10/10 Exceptional

As it has only recently re-opened Cameron has done an exceptional job managing the property to where it is at. We can only hope that the owners support the property financially. The room was very clean and comfortable, in amongst palm trees and the Daintree Rainforest. The hotel opposite has closed which was disappointing however we had an excellent meal further down the road. Would recommend for a great stay, thanks Cameron!

6/10 Good

The facility advertised WiFi but you couldn't connect to it. The rooms TV's had been removed. No air-conditioning. Water pressure was horrible and undrinkable. Frequent power losses so lights and fans would stop until power was restored.

A piece of rainforest magic
A great little motel in the Daintree Rainforest. Our host did everything to make our stay enjoyable. Currently undergoing some renovations which will look great once completed

Overpriced for condition
The motel is old and in need of a revamp. Carpet in the bedroom is original 70s and dirty and the room needed a good dust and clean. Not all rooms had a kitchen sink to clean dishes. Under cover parking. The single staff was pleasant but overwhelmed. Also no telstra service at motel. There is 3g in the area though patchy. Wifi at the motel was poor.
