    I don’t expect A/C in the midst of the rainforest but it gets quite warm in the bungalow. Luckily there are fans. Overall I liked my stay there a lot and would come back.

    Beautiful property, we especially liked the shared openair kitchen area with bbq. The pool was refreshing too.

    Nice cosy place to stay for few nights in daintree. Staff are great. Pool is nice and definitely worth doing the snorkeling tour. The cafe on site does awesome food too 😎👍

    Just suggestions: it would be great to add tea/coffee making and a second night table and a second little lamp in the cabins. Otherwise, all good :)

    We stayed in the en-suite cabins. Quite small but cozy. Bathroom was great. A little wardrobe in the bathroom. Aircon and a ceiling fan. A bar fridge. Comfy king size bed. Nice outdoor seating. Very clean. It is a camping site, so it has a communal kitchen (with a big fridge, gas stoves, cooking utensils etc), laundry, a small pool. Very close to the beach and cape tribulation. Cafe onsite (we bought our coffees in the morning from there). Booking of excursions/trips too. Next door is a groceries store, other camping sites/cafes. Overall a very nice stay! Totally recommend!

    I thought some of the staff let the place down. Particularly one of the girls at the restaurant and the girl managing the Ocean Safari booking and the guide who was very knowledgeable. They didn’t seem to have any training in the hospitality industry. Showing client interest with a smile is really pretty basic. I understand it must be difficult to find staff in remote locations but it does take away from the overall ambiance.

    Our room was modern and beautifully designed. Everything was clean and fresh and comfortable. The location was perfect in the middle of a rainforest close to many activities and tours.

    Dived with Ocean Safari in the morning and had to vacate our rooms early. Would be useful to have a late check-out facility after returning from diving.

    Location, turtle cafe, the pool and the vibe of the place

    Super convenient location for attending the ocean safari snorkel trip. Walking distance to the beach and other restaurants. The cafe on site was fantastic - food and coffee all delicious! Rooms were small but comfortable. Everything we needed for a few days in the Daintree. Beds were comfortable.

    Applaud the eco-approach req’d as off-grid but with it comes an ‘earthy’ aroma. Would have liked tea/coffee making facilities in unit and would have appreciated a privacy sliding door or such on unit toilet.

    Units in amongst trees, close to amenities and swimming pool. Nice little cafe with outside covered seating and excellent food.

    Nestled in the jungle, the chalet was perfect for a 3 nights stay. The room is big and quiet and very comfy! You can use the commun kitchen and other facilities (with BBQ and laundry). with a little convenient store accross the road with everything you need to prepare a good meal (event found some kangourou meat) A few restaurants are walking distance from there too. Across the road from PK's for a beer...or too Loved it, thanks guys, dont't change a thing

    some of the screens on the windows did not seal and we had some biting midgees come into the room at dusk. We closed the louvres and that stopped them.

    Clean, comfortable and well fitted out cabin. Parking was a bit tight, but location and atmosphere was great.
