Daintree Wilderness Lodge

My sister and I brought our parents to Daintree Wilderness Lodge so they could experience the best of the Daintree, and it far exceeded our expectations! The beautiful bungalows are absolutely exquisite and it was such a novelty having our own cottage and walkway. The restaurant served beautiful food and the cassowary roaming around the lodge was an added delight. It was a 5/5 experience.

We stayed here for 4 nights. The staff here are all friendly and helpful and efficient. This place was a little difficult for me as I found walking on the boardwalk treacherous. Often there is no railing. As it was raining, I felt unsafe. I admit that younger people probably wouldn’t have this issue,but it’s something to be aware of. The evening meals are adequate, but the menu needs to change on a frequent basis. It’s impossible to dry the towels in your cabin as there’s insufficient towel rails. Your cabin is serviced on alternate days. It’s a good place to stay, I think 2 ,possibly 3 nights is the most I would recommend.

What a fantastic place with a unique atmospher. We enjoyed the secluded lovely cabins with cool bathrooms, the wilderness boardwalks, the plunge pool, and the lovely open air restaurant. My daughter and I had a wonderful time and Jason and Lee took tremendously good care of us - lovely food and all smiles. This place will really add to your Daintree experience. Highly recommended

We booked 2 nights here as we were up exploring the region. We received a very warm welcome from both the managers who were really helpful at showing us where to go and what to see. Our room was really nice, pillows were very firm though. Bathroom was lovely with a powerful rainforest shower. We ate in the hotels restaurants both nights and enjoyed decent, fairly priced food and nice wine with friendly service. Breakfast was also good. No Wi-Fi in the room, which was to be expected, no TV signal either, but lots of DVDs in reception. Sleeping in the rainforest was a challenge for me, as could hear wildlife all night, but added to the special feel of the place. Great base for exploring the region and unusual accommodation with friendly personalised service due to only having 7 lodges. Highly recommended.

When my partner initially said he had booked for us to stay at in the daintree in what he described as a cabin in the rainforest, being petrified of spiders and snakes I honestly thought this would be a living nightmare but it couldn’t have been further from reality. I was quite expecting to spend our time here not sleeping and fending off snakes from coming into our room however when the lady in reception said she had been there months and not seen one this put me at ease! 🐍 When we arrived, we were immediately greeted by a lovely member of staff who checked us in and talked to us about loads of recommendations of things to do in the area, we arrived late and missed the cut off for dinner but she arranged with the chef for us to have something to eat and then showed us to our room. The rooms have ample room, with a TV, fridge, tea and coffee facilities and an incredible bathroom with shower looking into the rainforest. The food was 10/10 - we ate here for both breakfast and dinner and were impressed with the quality of the food. There is WIFI - starlink in the reception / restaurant area which works quite well however signal else where is very hit and miss - we were more than happy with this wanting to switch off a bit. The owners are lovely, they make you feel so welcome and can’t actually do enough for you. We both came away saying how much more they could charge to stay here, it really is a hidden gem and a small piece of heaven. I am so glad we visited daintree and stayed here because it really did make the whole experience better. We will defiantly be back and I will recommend to everyone I know wanting a break away from the madness that life can be sometimes! Thank you for everything Fraser & Danny

We had a lovely 2 night stay in heart of Daintree Forrest. In the evening we chatted away to the other guests and had a really nice time. The breakfast and dinner was nice. The staff were very helpful and friendly. They were able to advise on where to visit.
