My only wish is that we could have stayed longer! What an amazing place. I would love to go back and highly recommend to others wanting a unique and thoughtful Daintree experience.

We were greeted on arrival with scented, refreshing towels and welcome drink by Sasha the lodge’s competent manager. This set the tone for our 3 night stay with excellent, attentive service throughout. The cabins are very clean, breakfast is wonderful and we enjoyed sampling the dinner menu, which will satiate the epicurean palate. We were always met with warm smiles which is a testimony to this young team’s desire to make the most of your Daintree experience. Many thanks to Sasha, Gina and all for a very memorable stay. Exceeded expectations!

Expecting the Wilderness Lodge to be buried deep in Daintree Forest, in reality it’s about a minute’s drive off the main Cape Tribulation Road. That aside, I hoped that there would be decent length boardwalks/trails to explore deeper into the forest…however, per the girl on reception there was just one trail that didn’t take us very far at all. In fact, information for getting the most out of our stay was thin on the ground. On the plus side, the cabins themselves were suitably eco comfortable, and the rain pelting down outside added to the authentic ancient forest feeling. The roo steaks at dinner were cooked to perfection…as for breakfast the following morning, it was a frugal affair – and I really don’t understand the inflexibility around breakfast sittings? At over AUD$500 a night, our much anticipated stay fell short of expectations.

Amazing stay in the Daintree. The lodge was one of the highlights of our Australia vacation. Staff were amazing, food in the restaurant was very good. The cabins were amazing, we had two separate cabins and both were very nice, the location is absolutely amazing. We did our own walk which was awesome, didn’t see any Kasawari on the walk, but there was evidence they were there on the ground. Very glad we chose to stay at the Daintree Wilderness Lodge, highly recommend.

Daintree Wilderness Lodge Location 4/5 - Perfect for Daintree exploration. Remote and nothing around it. Staff - 5/5. Friendly and helpful. Facilities - 1/5. Nothing there except a cold plunge pool and disappointing nature trial. Room - 3/5. Comfy bed. Plenty of room. Air con worked well. Bert’s remote and quiet. Perfect if looking for a wilderness getaway Ambience - 1/5. No one there except weird bird spotters. Food -5/5. Superb. Steak was awesome. Breakfast decent Overall -3/5. Great for a 2 day getaway into Daintree.

We were looking forward to discover the Daintree by booking two nights (with breakfeasts) in this hotel at the end of July 2025. We liked the Lodges and we loved the location of the hotel for discovering the rainforest. Unfortunately : - In the first morning, we didn’t had hot water in the Cabin (and so we took cold showers). - On the second morning, we planned to have breakfeast at 7:45 as we had to be gone at 8:00 for a planned guided tour. As the breakfeast booking system needed one day prior notification and only allowed us to eat at 8:00 or 8:30, we asked if it was possible to eat earlier. Two different people of the staff confirmed to us this modification and one even asked us to be there earlier at 7:40 to finish eating right on time. Despite this, the staff refused to give us our breakfeasts before 8:00 on that morning. We had to go to our guided tour with empty stomachs (and the three breakfeasts had already been paid…). We didn’t even had any explanation/excuse from the staff. To sum up, we wouldn’t recommend this hotel due to the service.

My sister and I brought our parents to Daintree Wilderness Lodge so they could experience the best of the Daintree, and it far exceeded our expectations! The beautiful bungalows are absolutely exquisite and it was such a novelty having our own cottage and walkway. The restaurant served beautiful food and the cassowary roaming around the lodge was an added delight. It was a 5/5 experience.
