Upon arrival we were warmly welcomed into this rainforest paradise retreat. The Lodge itself is nestled amongst the Daintree rainforest in what we would describe as breathtakingly beautiful. The newly refurbished restaurant, bar and surrounding deck with spa is at the heart of it all. A stroll along the boardwalk leads you to your private villa, the room is very well presented with the bathroom being the showstopper. A beautiful tiled bathroom with the shower giving you an amazing view of the rainforest.

Perfect location in amongst the beautiful canopy of trees. We saw a juvenile cassowary, which resides around this location. Fabulous breakfast, which was included. Dinner was so lovely. The rooms are great. Comfy beds. No TV but you can borrow DVDs if you want to watch a movie. Just a beautiful pretty place to stay. So close to Cape Tribulation and all the boardwalks. Close to the rivers for Croc tours.

Beautiful location in the heart of the Daintree. Super easy parking, owner Ross was fantastic and knowledgeable, restaurant staff all excellent - breakfast great every day and catered for vegetarians and carnivores. Dinner lovely modern menu too. Wildlife watching a highlight. You can never guarantee seeing anything but during our 5 nights we saw Wild Boar with piglets, the Cassowary twice - in the car park for about 30 mins and also walking past the glass shower on a morning. Also saw a Praying Mantis on the board walk and two beautiful Pythons late at night crossing the car park and boards. Room was perfect, super comfortable beds and clean. A bit of 4G internet signal in the room and wifi in lobby/restaurant only which was totally manageable - strong 4G across at the ice cream place across the road if needed. Overall the perfect place to explore daintree from and a magical location under the canopy of the fan palms and rainforest trees.

It was in the heart of the Daintree rainforest and what a beautiful spot it is! You are surrounded by the rainforest and jungle, with a nice holiday and modern touch to it to suit your holiday and relaxation needs. Even a nice spa to cool off from the heat as well. The Daintree wilderness lodge is also close to all tourist attraction spots such as ocean safari, croc cruises, Daintree swimming holes and so much more! The staff we so lovely and accommodating, made me and my partner feel so welcome and at home while we were away from home. We will definitely be coming back!

There’s nothing to fault about the property!

The lodges were well spaced apart amongst the tranquil forest canopy offering privacy & the beautiful feeling of being immersed in the Daintree. The elevated timber pathways provided a lovely path to the main reception and restaurant which offered a very high quality dining experience and delicious meals. We were so happy with our 2 night stay at the Daintree Wilderness Lodge with all staff being incredibly welcoming and genuinely lovely people. A huge thank you to Jason for his warm welcome, local knowledge and ensuring we met with their resident cassowaries, which we were so pleased to meet. A very magical place and it was obvious that all guests and staff alike felt enormous gratitude to share a piece of this rare and idyllic sanctuary.

We had a great stay. The cabins were cleverly appointed so you couldn’t see your neighbour. We felt like we were there in our own. The rainforest surrounded us, it was truly magical. The cabins were really clean and the towels, bed and pillows were extra comfy. Great toiletries too. Jan and Lee are great hosts. Very friendly and helpful. Even though we were there in the wet, we loved it!

I would have liked some extra crockery and cutlery in the cabin. A few plates, bowls, knives and forks. We wanted to put together a cheese board but didn’t have anything to put it on. The breakfast was OK. The fresh fruit plate and juice was a lovely addition. I think for the price though, I would suggest to have more variety and have free coffee top ups.

LOVED the tucked-away location in the rainforest. All the cabins were well spaced and private. The bathroom was really well appointed and despite being prepared to compromise on the hot water or the shower pressure it exceeded our expectations. The food was locally sourced, excellent quality and cooked by Jason to take into account individual preferences. The plunge pool was refreshing for a dip after a hot day in the rainforest. Sadly we didn't see a cassowary but the Night Walk which Jason organised for us with a well-informed naturalist was superb. The following day we followed the Nature Walk around the Wilderness Lodge grounds and spotted a Musky Rat-Kangaroo which was cute. All the staff were friendly and helpful and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay there.

Nothing....it was great!

This eco lodge is a real gem. It is run on sustainable principles, with everything elevated above Rainforest ground. Each visitor is assigned their own detached hut at the end of a walkway, and the huts have lots of windows and a long skylight to look out at the rain forest where you see cassowary droppings. The beds are highly comfortable and bathroom is amazing with natural bath fittings and the shower having a full height window. Staff are lovely with lots of information provided about the Rainforest and surrounding area to explore. We ate in the restaurant for dinner and breakfast and both were superb. Loved our stay.

Did not see Cassowary on are two walks, but maybe next time.

Ross the manager was great, very welcoming and accommodating during our stay and knowledgeable with where to go in the area and helping to book tours. The rest of the staff were wonderful too and the breakfast each morning was delicious. The cabins are spacious, private and amenities within are well thought out.

The location in the rainforest is wonderful. This is a small hotel, with the cabins placed to ensure your privacy. Our cabin was very comfortable. The shower room has a great window onto the rainforest. Our aircon unit was very noisy so we didn't use that. The ceiling fan was whisper quiet and even at the end of October that was all we needed. Being under the trees helps keep the cabins cool. The food was excellent. That was a real treat. We had no rain so were able to dine on the deck surrounded by the forest at night. THe water is from a bore hole on site and is lovely. The staff were very friendly and helpful and from all over the world. We were unusual in that we stayed for 8 days. Most people stay for less time. We didn't want to keep moving around with heavy cases too much. We found plenty to do but we are very interested in the natural world rather than more touristy things. The Madja boardwalk is a 10 minute drive away which we did most mornings before breakfast while it was quiet. There is a lovely nature walk on the premises down to their swimming hole. There was plenty of evidence of Cassowaries on the ground! We had a very close enounter with one on the Madja board walk. We were there to enjoy the rainforest itself. We did go on a croc cruise and a sunset bird watching trip from Daintree Village. We also did a zip wire tour through the canopy at Cape Tribulation where we saw a Bennets Tree Kangaroo! It doesn't get much better than that. The Daintree forest is stunning. It's dizzying in it's sheer diversity. The sound of the forest. The smell of the forest.. all very beautiful. There was a bumpy satinash tree outside cabin with it's fruit on the trunk... caulifery - looks very weird to european eyes! The accomodation isn't brand new. The rainforest takes it toll. We were not bothered by that I know some guests were.

We missed not being able to do our laundry. Coffee rations at breakfast were variable. Lovely coffee don't get me wrong.
