This place took my breath away & I will never forget this night EVER it was the best 30th birthday present I could have wished for! Absolutely stunning surroundings, amazing music and great stories by the Creek Family not to mention scrumptious food and delicious wine! I am gluten and dairy intolerant and the staff were well prepared and provided... More

We visited Flames of the Forest on the first night of our honeymoon. My husband called ahead to confirm and advised of dietary requirements which was that I don't eat red meats. On the evening I was still given meat dishes and when I mentioned we had spoken to the office regarding this the waitress was nothing less than rude.... More

Dear Winer_and_Diner1, Congratulations on your recent marriage and we are delighted you enjoyed the ambiance and music on our Saturday evening! I understand how it can be disappointing when you have a dietary requirement - I am both gluten and dairy intolerant so I, like you, always reconfirm! We have followed up with the office and the kitchen regarding this... More

The setting was great. I was however a little disappointed that they only have wine no bar to purchase anything else from! I also would have expected that for the money you wouldn't be sitting on plastic chairs at a trestle table... The food wasn't really anything special. I would only recommend going here for the ambiance

Dear Jubbyqld, The ambiance of Flames is amazing and we are pleased you enjoyed this special aspect of the evening! It is very magical to be in the rainforest at night. It would be great if we could offer spirits on the bar for guests to purchase, however as we have no phone or internet in the rainforest guests would... More

You really can't explain the setting, other than enchanting, magical, beautiful and romantic! I've never been anywhere quite like it and it really is a dinner with a difference and a 'must do' for anyone visiting port Douglas. As you walk down the path lined with fire lit torches you instantly feel as though you are walking back in time... More

Last week I experienced the Flames of the Forest cultural experience, and was not disappointed! We were taken to a beautiful location hidden away in the forest approx 20min from Port Douglas. The driver had a good sense of humour and even pretended to be lost at one point! We soon arrived at the location and followed a fire lit... More

Located in middle of nowhere the place gives that wilderness feel. We went on the Saturday night because we didn't want the whole tourist thing and wanted something more intimate. The food was very good and it was good to have the opportunity to taste kangaroo and crocodile but I just found the whole experience quite dull. It is extremely... More

I must say, after reading a few reviews on here, we were a but dubious as we stepped on the bus as to what lay ahead. We had come to the conclusion the night would either be a complete success, or a complete let down. I am grateful to say it was the former. As we are on honeymoon, and... More
