We spent two nights in the Daintree area, staying one night at Daintree Wilderness Lodge and one night at Cape Trib Beach House. They offered two very different experiences, but together they made a great combination. Daintree Wilderness Lodge has a boutique feel with a more romantic and luxurious atmosphere. Being completely surrounded by the Daintree rainforest makes it a very special place to stay. Waking up amongst the trees and wildlife was an experience in itself. The cabins were fully equipped, and featured lots of natural light. One tip: bring a sleeping mask if you don't want to wake up with the sunrise! The staff were friendly and went out of their way to provide helpful suggestions on places to visit and things to do in the area, which we really appreciated. For us, it was the perfect place to spend a night and experience the rainforest in comfort. A memorable stay and something quite different from your average hotel.

“Rainforest Treat”

What an awesome place! Quirky rooms/cabins set out acrylic wooden bridges. Great welcome, very helpful and kind service. Lovely room with amazing shower, great breakfast and dinner menu.

What an awesome place! Quirky rooms/cabins set out acrylic wooden bridges. Great welcome, very helpful and kind service. Lovely room with amazing shower, great breakfast and dinner menu. We experienced some amazing storms during our stay, we had an umbrella delivered to our door so we could get to breakfast dry. Staff couldn’t be more helpful and friendly. Daintree is a beautiful region with gorgeous beaches two days may be enough to see the delights of the area.

“A wonderful treat in the pristine rain forest.”

A delightful and beautiful boutique hotel in the middle of the rain forest. Beautifully appointed cabin and exemplary food and service. I just wish we could have stayed longer than two days!

“High quality accomodation and food deep in the rainforest”

There aren't many places you can stop in a pristine rainforest in a luxury suite. This is one of them. High quality rooms, nicely decorated, clean and well kept. There are only 7 or so "rooms", each separated by rainforest and accessed from the reception area by a boardwalk. If you are visitin… lisää

There aren't many places you can stop in a pristine rainforest in a luxury suite. This is one of them. High quality rooms, nicely decorated, clean and well kept. There are only 7 or so "rooms", each separated by rainforest and accessed from the reception area by a boardwalk. If you are visiting outside of the wet then great for stargazing, in the wet you will be glad of the aircon. Lots and lots of bugs, but then its the rainforest. You will need a strong repellent when out of the room. There isn't much in the way of public area, the restaurant is about it. The restaurant is good but not, I thought, as good as "On the Turps", my roo was well on the rare side and I heard other guests complain about it. Last sitting in the restaurant for dinner was 18:45, a bit early I thought. There is a small selection of DVDs at reception and a DVD player in the room, there isn't any TV reception in the rooms and no WiFi, the mobile signal is pretty ropey as well. All that said, you are enjoying high-class food and drink in the middle of the rainforest; you are hardly slumming it. All in all, recommended but it depends on what you prioritise. I thought the rooms at the Wilderness Lodge were better than at the Heritage Lodge but the food at the Heritage Lodge was better (the "On the Turps" restaurant. Things you should know about the rooms: very nice, but there is a clear strip in the roof, when the sun is up, so will you be. The showers have a large, clear window that overlooks the rainforest - no one can see you, but some people will find that unnerving. You don't really need a torch to move about the boardwalks, but it would be helpful - but note that you become a magnet for any mozzies. You won't be wandering the rainforest after dark in the wet. Would I go back? Yes, I would but maybe more prepared.
