The location is awesome and the house is very well furnished

Stayed in April 2024

Phone reception made it hard to search places to look at- plan your trip before you go. Otherwise not an issue not having reception.

The location was amazing. There were butterflies everywhere in the gardens. You could hear a nearby creek and birds all the time.it was so special. Close to Daintree Observatory. Easy drive to Cape Tribulation. No wifi and generally no phone reception.

Leaving

Everything. What a wonderful place, and Sylvia was a fabulous host. We arrived when there had been bad flooding prior and the road up to Cape Trib still closed. However, this didn't stop us having the best time. Not only are you able to visit local places, but the garden is literally adjoining the world heritage rainforest. Will remember this forever. Thank you.

Incredible lodge in the heart of the Daintree rainforest, would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone looking to stay in the area! Good location and connections to the Daintree visitor centre and not too far from the ferry either. Sylvia was a brilliant host too and answered any questions we had.

It is my bad not to check the forecast and the actual situation with Cape Tribulation road being closed. But at the moment the activities to do in Daintree are quite limited as the weather is not great and there is road works after the cyclone which is nobody's fault but I would have liked to know beforehand.

The house is located in the middle of the rainforest with impressive views. The house is clean and tidy, I loved waking up in the morning being able to listen to the nature, so many birds, insects and other animals to see and hear.

The hanging gardens of Babylon. Absolutely beautiful, quiet, mental detox.

We were happy with everything but acknowledge there is no internet reception

The relaxing, quiet environment

Absolutely everything. Such a beautiful property in a breathtaking location. The house is full of character & comfortable. We planned 2 full days in the Daintree & this property was half way between our day up at Cape Tribulation & for our river cruise and visit to the discovery centre. Would love to visit again.

Having some little bush visitors

The bush location was exceptional. The house had unique features. The kitchen was well equipped. The food scraps were saved for the chooks.

Nothing to dislike, just recommend stocking up with groceries as you come through Mossman Gorge. The local store though will stocked is very expensive.

What a great spot to relax. The secluded location was beautiful giving you the space you need to just chill. The house is lovely, but the outdoor space was extra special. It gives you the chance to immerse yourself in the rainforest environment both daytime and evening. Exploring the Daintree is a must from the Alexandra Lookout all the way to the Kulki beach, drop off into each beach and boardwalk to explore. We did a crocodile cruise on the way to the Daintree, definitely a must do thing.

Nothing. My elderly mother found the stairs a bit daunting at night time, getting from the second storey bedroom to the bathroom/toilet in the dark.

Stunning garden. Comfortable beds. Spacious living area. Fun bathroom. Geckos, moths and golden orb weaver were fantastic!

Beautiful rainforest location

The only negative was having to go downstairs for the toilet at night!!

Beautiful location. Fantastic views from house/deck. Owner Sylvia was very welcoming. Loved the quirky architecture and deck area.

Stayed in June 2023

We had some issues with mosquito nets in a couple of the rooms. The kitchen is fine, but slightly basic. We were still able to cook full meals for the family with a little adjustment, so it's not a big issue.

Be aware that this is not your standard holiday stay. The house is very much a part of nature, so don't expect resort-style living. Once we adjusted to the environment, we loved the peace and quiet, the sounds of the rainforest, even the orb spider living on the verandah became a familiar and friendly presence. Surprisingly, one of the best things about this house is the lack of wifi or phone reception. Our phone-addicted teens read entire books on the beautiful verandah, played cards, and connected with us and each other more than they have in years. They are still looking back fondly on the stay as a stand-out of the trip.

Beautiful setting, spacious house

Stayed in April 2023

there is nothing to dislike unless you must need an air cond, iron , microwave - All these items we never rely on or need when travelling to such a beautiful destination in the forest- it’s an off the grid stay which we loved, if you need air cond , suggest try and adapt to the natural warmth of the forest first & use the internal ceiling fans which were fine for our stay & quiet .

serenity - balcony view - edge of national park- Clean & well presented furniture complementing timber construction & Garden setting

We didn’t not like anything but a handy hint is to shop at Mossman at the woolies as you pass it as the shops are minimal once you catch the car ferry.

We had the best time. So much to explore. The house was beautiful. The location was beautiful. It was everything we wanted and more. Sylvia is a lovely person too and always helpful. We wish we stayed here longer and less time in Cairns. It was absolutely beautiful.

We loved it all. We came for the nature. We got the nature!

Beautiful, tranquil. Stunning garden views. Bespoke tree house with only the sounds of nature to awaken you. We enjoyed exploring the garden, and the surrounding rainforest. Torches at night to find critters. We took a full day fishing charter and caught Coral Trout, Fingermarks and many others. Saw crocs, Snapper Island and stunning mangroves. Local fisher Jamie Beitzel top bloke, knows every inch of this river system. We had an awesome day! (Book via fishingportdouglas.com.au) Even saw a Dingo cross the road. Our lovely host Sylvia is such a beautiful soul, and we loved being able to give Sylvia a fresh feed of fish we caught which was enthusiastically received. Lync haven 4 minutes down the road, good food, friendly lovely family owners. So do it! Book your off grid technology detox and reconnect with nature! Be kind and be mindful to the Daintree owner operators, this is a challenging place to run a business. Thank you Sylvia for allowing us the privilege of staying in your patch of paradise. Xxxx

That we only booked a few day..!!! Could have stayed here forever.

Amazing property in a stunning location. The host was great, very welcoming and the house had everything we needed and more. We arrived late in the dark but woke up to an incredible view and a stunning array of wildlife.

Sylvia left a selection of thoughtful items for us to enjoy during our stay such as tea, coffee, milk, fresh eggs and fruit from her garden. The house was beautiful and Sylvia made us very extremely welcome
