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.

We stayed here for 4 nights. The staff here are all friendly and helpful and efficient. This place was a little difficult for me as I found walking on the boardwalk treacherous. Often there is no railing. As it was raining, I felt unsafe. I admit that younger people probably wouldn’t have this issue,but it’s something to be aware of. The evening meals are adequate, but the menu needs to change on a frequent basis. It’s impossible to dry the towels in your cabin as there’s insufficient towel rails. Your cabin is serviced on alternate days. It’s a good place to stay, I think 2 ,possibly 3 nights is the most I would recommend.

An authentic wilderness experience yet resort-like accommodations. The staff was very friendly and helpful and the food was excellent. The property was well maintained and the individual large-windowed cabins enhanced the natural experience of the rainforest without compromising comfort.

What a fantastic place with a unique atmospher. We enjoyed the secluded lovely cabins with cool bathrooms, the wilderness boardwalks, the plunge pool, and the lovely open air restaurant. My daughter and I had a wonderful time and Jason and Lee took tremendously good care of us - lovely food and all smiles. This place will really add to your Daintree experience. Highly recommended

We booked 2 nights here as we were up exploring the region. We received a very warm welcome from both the managers who were really helpful at showing us where to go and what to see. Our room was really nice, pillows were very firm though. Bathroom was lovely with a powerful rainforest shower. We ate in the hotels restaurants both nights and enjoyed decent, fairly priced food and nice wine with friendly service. Breakfast was also good. No Wi-Fi in the room, which was to be expected, no TV signal either, but lots of DVDs in reception. Sleeping in the rainforest was a challenge for me, as could hear wildlife all night, but added to the special feel of the place. Great base for exploring the region and unusual accommodation with friendly personalised service due to only having 7 lodges. Highly recommended.
