My family & I stayed in the Daintree at the Wait A While Retreat, The house was everything we had hoped for and much more, it’s huge. The sounds at night were not of a ghost as stated by someone but of wildlife that surrounds the forest. It was amazing and we even saw a cassowary walk through the property. At night we took torches provided and saw sleeping birds, big frogs and even a snake. The beach is within 10 min walk and will blow you away with the beauty. The house is spacious and very well equipped, it had everything one could ask for in a remote place.
The negatives – Only 1 really - we didn’t book longer. The bedrooms were large and we fought everyday for the hammock upstairs. Would I recommend this house? A big fat YES. All the tours were magic, especially the Noah Valley guided night walk. Thank you for sharing your piece of paradise with the world. We will be back.

Nine of us had the most fantastic five days at Wait a While in the Daintree. We all took part in canopy surfing, fruit tasting, a reef trip, a croc tour and a night tour of the rain forest (which was a highlight for us). Kerry, one of the managers, organised everything for us and made the trip just so much more relaxing and enjoyable. She worked with the local weather when booking our activities which meant that we had the best weather out on the reef, with about 2 knots of wind and it made it an amazing trip for our overseas family.
For us, the place had everything you could need, great cooking facilities, a hammock, a pool, and a particularly gorgeous garden surrounding the place (we actually saw a goanna walking through it one day). We also got to see two cassowaries crossing the road on our way out of the place one morning… amazing! At night you can hear the buzz of the rainforest and it’s fabulous!!!
I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to travel to the Daintree and you can’t go past the fabulous price for that sort of luxury.

My girlfriend & i went to the Daintree for a few days. We stayed at the Wait A While retreat.
Amazing house to spend a romantic break. This house is truly spectatular, it rained while we were there but it didnt stop us from enjoying the fun. The pool was brillant , surrrounded by rainforest. Try jungle surfing and a crocodile trip if you try this trip.
The beach just only few minutes from the house is proberbly the best ive seen in Australia.We even went snorkling on a small reef and sore lots.The Daintree area has lots to see, try the ice cream they were beautilful aswell. This place is magnicant. We also seen a Casawary crossing the road. One week was not enough. Thankyou to the managers Peter & Kerry they tried and succeeded in making our holiday the best it could be.

This house was amazingly beautiful. Isolated and dark though. The entire family sensed that there was a ghost who lurked around the deck though, we heard sounds and saw a white figure move around.

But don't let that stop you, the place was very beautiful and all the cane furniture and rainforest atmosphere did prove an enjoyable stay. We won't be going back and wouldn't necessarily reccomend it, but if you don't believe in ghosts then go ahead, it is very beautiful.
