    Food could be better and a bit more generous.

    Cabin was fine, the owners are nice and helpful (they booked a boat tour for us at no cost). The walks around the premises are really nice, I liked it more than the official walks of the Natural Park.

    Were some bugs around and facilities were slightly limited But as was in the daintree rain forest, this is what you should expect and want

    Was in the rain forest. The dinner options although limited were very tasty. The owners were lovely

    Lync Haven is in the middle of Daintree rainforest. From here you can move easily to all important places. They also serve great food at reasonable prices. It has own walking pathes through the rainforest right away from the location. The staff is really very friendly and helpful and gives good recommendations on what to visit or options for tours. Thanks a lot Tamara !

    Only criticism would be that there was no wardrobe or anywhere to put unpacked clothes other than on the spare bed.

    Very good location, staff were friendly and efficient. We had an excellent evening meal in the restaurant each night. Cabin was comfortable. There are interesting short rainforest walks within the property.

    Nowhere to put belongings away so everything had to be on the floor or left inside our bags. Nothing to wash your pots up with.

    Great home cooked food. Huge portions. Friendly knowledgeable staff. Playground for kids. Games and books to borrow for kids and adults..kept us entertained in relentless rain!

    As the owners are new and haven't had time to put their own stamp on the place, you can't criticise them specifically. However, there are a few areas that could do with improving over time: -The rooms aren't serviced at all during your stay. If you're there for just 2 nights it wouldn't be an issue but any longer and the dirt that is brought inside from walking in the rainforest can become a frustration. Supplying a vacuum or providing a very quick cleaning service every second day wouldn't go amiss. -More towels, toilet roll and milk/tea/coffee would be brilliant. As Diwan only seems to have extremely expensive little corner shops with very little by way of groceries, guests shouldn't really have to be forking out a fortune on items that are expected in accommodations. And a wet towel on day 1 will likely be a wet towel on day 3 / 4 in the muggy, wet Summer weather so more towels would be beautiful. -Mugs are supplied for tea / coffee but they aren't changed throughout your stay. It's not a train smash but ideally mugs would be changed daily so guests don't have to use the same mug for the duration of their stay. Also, no cutlery is provided with which to make the tea / coffee. -The rooms are designed for short stays so living out of a suitcase for a weekend is fine but drawers or a wardrobe would make longer stays more comfortable. -More pillows. They are pretty flat so two more pillows will sort any issues with the bed. -The food at the Lync Haven restaurant is far too expensive. $65 for two beers and two tiny stir fries - good quality but it's twice what you'd expect to pay even in a major city. -The tin roof on the room is awful in the rainforest. Rain, debris and animals landing on the roof will keep you up all night. Tiling the roof would make the experience far more relaxing and enjoyable.

    Lync Haven is in a beautiful location in the rainforest, not too far from the ferry, shops and attractions. The owners were very friendly and made the stay that much more inviting. The retreat was really quiet and the property is well kept. The room size (Queen Room) was perfect and it was very clean on arrival. The two ceiling fans and aircon, as well as the fridge, were a huge bonus in the Summer heat! I understand the owners have only recently taken over the property and are doing a great job so far.

    Very sad the tourism industry has been affected as hardly any people around, if we did not ask about the restaurant would not have known it was closed due to no people around. Constant hourly bang like noise - could have been the air-con kicking in.

    The rooms were very clean. Nice to have the wallabies at our back door. Great for families, interesting nature walks. The gentleman upon arrival was very friendly.
