    Amazing Daintree Stay

    The phone connection north of the ferry is spotty. There is nothing any of the property owners can do about this.

    Everything! It is situated right by the National Forest in a beautiful peaceful setting. The room was clean and bright with a large terrace looking directly at the forest. The birdsong in the morning was special. Matt is an excellent host, who gave insights into the local area and spent quality time with his guests. His breakfast fruit plates are really as good as all the other reviews have mentioned.

    I can’t think of anything I didn’t like.

    Gorgeous hand built property tucked away in a beautiful corner of the Daintree rainforest. With a passive tropical design, it allows you to feel very much part of the nature surrounding you as you relax in a hammock reading or having breakfast at the table.

    If you don't like heat and humidity, the rain forest is not for you. But you should know that before you go.

    Breakfast was fantastic! Exotic fruit platter and home made jams. The location is amazing, so remote and quiet. Perfect for those who seek a retreat to nature

    Matt is clearly part of the furniture in the Daintree and my short stay would not have been the same without his hospitality, suggestions and tips. Thr tropical fruit breakfasts are amazing and the environment is so laid back I would have happily stayed an extra night or three! Next time I'll be sure to book direct.

    That we could only stay for two nights! I suppose some people might want a breakfast comprised of a great selection local fruits and fresh delicious bread - but this is EXACTLY the sort of breakfast we like!

    The highlight of the Epiphyte is Matt - although he was just welcoming the new manager of the Epiphyte while we were there who is equally delightful. Matt arranged a night tour for us, he told us of the best places to explore and how to playpen our days.

    Nothing.

    So many things are amazing about this place but the best has to be the location! Nestled literally in the Daintree Rainforest, the sights and sounds of the wildlife are spectacular 24hrs a day, which we immersively experienced with our outdoor bedroom! Matt is a fantastic host and local guide with strong recommendations, suited to what you're hoping to experience during your stay. The entire property is off grid but without a lack of comfort. The harvested rainwater and solar produced electricity provide all the needs of Epiphyte's guests - drinking water, hot showers and wall socket charging. 10/10 - easily the best property we've stayed in and will certainly be returning if we find ourselves in this part of the world again.

    We wish we had spent another two days just to relish the relaxation a bit more and to explore the property surrounds..

    What a wonderful host Matt is! He goes out of his way to make people feel at home and is just so personable it's impossible not to feel welcome. Epiphyte is beautiful we loved staying there - I absolutely recommend nature loving people to allow for at least three days to enjoy the serenity and take time to explore..
