What travellers are saying
- Bev MSydney, Australia265 contributionsDifferent experience but only way to Daintree National Park. Paid $45 on arrival for return ticket, quick and efficient - cash or card. Long hours 5 am - midnight. Crocodle country.Written 22 June 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- julierH4835OD71 contributionsThis was the beat place I've ever stayed in. The rooms are in the treetops. It's quiet, peaceful and lush grounds. It used to be a zoo, so the owners have great stories to tell. There's still a whole Avery of birds and a kangaroo that visits everytime u go into the grounds.
Might be only good for kids for 1 night away as there's not much to do at the location. But u can use it like a base, we did Port douglas one day, daintree sky walk and ferry, croc tour, mossman gorge, Atherton tablelands. Coming back to a pool every night was fab!
Breakfast is fabulous, hearty and the owners will help with everything!
U can only book thru booking.com
This is glamour accommodation, large Lush towels, high thread count sheets, fly screens, massive ensuite with rainforest shower.
No kitchen facilities, but just eat in Mossman, Pt Douglas, daintree pub only open some nights.

I only stopped a few moments to take water, no longer breaks. A younger couple over took me, and probably did the whole walk in 4h. Some stretches are near vertical ascent using tree roots and rocks, which I found fun, but my husband hated it. No ropes seen. But you are walking in a true rainforest.
Well marked path, I only strayed off one time, and the trail app got me back on the right path very fast.
Mist rolled in towards the top, for warning that their would be no view to be seen this day. Lucky, I would say the journey was interesting enough. Then light warm rains started, making it slippery.
I sprayed my feet with Bushmans and then also my socks and shoes, and had no leeches attaching, but I did brush a few off. All the other people had leeches on their feet.Written 15 October 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I was not disappointed Liz has a fine selection of beads she has handmade. My personal sustainable favourite was a set of beads that she makes using the glass wine bottle of her favourite wine.
A must visit for the jewellery alone!Written 15 July 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

However there is a gate which requires a pin number from a ticket that you have to pre purchase which we didn't know. Lovely and peaceful one you get in.Written 29 September 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- cg2792England, UK2,587 contributionsStopped here for a few minutes to take photos. Really beautiful scenery. Brought the tea from a local attraction. Tastes incredible.Written 22 April 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Judy JSydney, Australia512 contributionsThey seemed understaffed the evening we ate there but all the properties in this area have been affected by the downturn in tourism due to the pandemic. It was great to be there and give them some support.
We shared a pizza which wax very good and in spite of the low staffing level, it was delivered quickly - and with a smile.Written 27 May 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We saw numerous crocs and David was an excellent host and guide. Very friendly, personable, and knowledgeable. We are so glad we added this to our trip, it was certainly a highlight for us.Written 22 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Daniel Willington6 contributionsWonderful experience. So relaxing and the service was 5 star. Would highly recommend as a couples getaway or even just a day to spoil yourself.Written 22 January 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Ken W5 contributionsWe went on an evening cruise in mid-October and enjoyed every minute. Our guide was excellent in all respects. He was extremely knowledgeable of all the flora and fauna in the area and knew where to find the best available specimens. While there was a scarcity of wildlife at the time of our visit (bad luck), we were still able to see a good variety of reptiles and birds. We have several excellent photos to prove it. We highly recommend this tour, especially for the dedicated birder.Written 22 October 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Bob H68 contributionsUnfortunately, the 'artists' concerned are not artistically able. This resulted in their garden being more interesting than their shop. One or two of the necklaces were very pretty but that was about it.Written 13 June 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
