Detailed Reviews
This was the ideal place to stay for my Mum's 80th birthday trip to the Daintree Rainforest. The accommodation is located across the road from the beach and we could park right out the front of our bungalow, which meant that Mum didn't have too much walking to do. Everything else was within an easy driving distance and both Dean and Jodie gave us some great suggestions for accessible places to visit. We self catered for the most part, using the little BBQ area, and we enjoyed sitting on our deck in the evening, listening to the insects and the sea, after our big days out exploring the area.

We booked the closest accommodation to the hard to locate bouncing stones site.
Our bonus was a super neat, clean and welcoming little bungalow.
The multiple glass louvre windows did not have any sight of grime, dirt, webs, deteriorated screening - nothing! It was delightfully clean with nice touches an ocean themed decor- bed cover, toilet roll holder, towel hooks.
The ceiling was in excellent repair with no sign of mould or mildew or webs common in such tropical locations.
Our checkin was via an email message and a friendly note on the cabin door.
Best of all we found the bouncing stones just a 15 minute walk up the beach!
Sadly no cassowary wandered through during our visit!

Lovely venue and nice clean units. They were clean and well set out. Ideal location opposite Thornton beach. Friendly staff. Off grid power throughout the area but no generator noise. Thanks for making us welcome.

Note the Outside sink to do dishes - can only cook on a bbq
No telstra. Only optus. 600 mb per device. In this day and age it's not much.
If problem with anything to do with the place as it's all off grid, can only email owners. Have to walk over road for reception.
Outdoor chairs and umbrellas a nice touch
Bungalow situated On main road so plenty of traffic noise.

3 of us booked this as part of a quick trip to cape tribulation from cairns. We had both of the small bungalows at the front. Some of the reviews on here seem so crazy to me. I’m not sure what these people are expecting in the middle of the rainforest!
The cabins are perfect for a short stay. They have everything you can need - a fridge, with a very small freezer in the top, plates and cups and cutlery. There are bbq’s outside which are available to use. We stopped at port Douglas on the way up and grabbed burgers amongst other food. The nearest shop is a good 10 minute drive away, and the nearest evening restaurant around 15 minutes. The cafe across the road that is on Thornton beach is lovely, however does close at 3pm every day (aside from Saturdays, where I was told they stay open for dinner).
Unfortunately the weather was terrible on our trip, but we made the most of it the best way we could. We sat outside and drank and ate and enjoyed just being in the tranquility of the rainforest. The beach is literally across the road.
Dean and Jodie were excellent hosts. This place is exactly as described. If you are looking for 5 star luxury you are in the wrong place altogether.
Thank you, we will be back!

The hosts were lovely and went out of their way every way to be helpful. The rooms are lovely and clean and right across from the beach. They let us leave our boat there while we went up to Cooktown and came back the next day. We were supposed to check in the afternoon but they made an exception and clean the room quickly and early so we could have it in the morning after Bed stay at another place the day before which was very kind of them to go out of their way. I hurt my foot whilst on holidays which had nothing to do with them but they went out of their way to help. Thank you for a lovely stay would recommend to everyone. Comfy beds too thank you.

The cabins are clean and contain all the creature comforts you need for a relaxing stay in the Daintree. We picked up some dinner ingredients from Mason's and made use of the bbq facilities. The next morning we made a cuppa and walked across the road to watch the sunrise over Thornton Beach

We stayed at Thornton beach for 2 days while driving up north along the Bloomfield track through the Daintree. They are lovely little cabins across the road from the beach and are at one with the stunning nature of the region. So much wildlife abounds. From beautiful butterflies and birds to wallabies and cassowaries, and giant spiders. There are many walks through the rainforest and the beach walks are beautiful. I would Highly recommend a stay here.

Stayed 3 nights here recently. Small tidy spotlessly clean bungalows. Across tge road from t h ed beach and a restaurant. Great bbq area for each bungalow...you can eat outside every night, completely sheltered. Your hosts Jodie and Dean are a fantastic couple, great local knowledge and advice. Highly recommend. Not luxurious, but very comfortable and fun.
