Thank you Daisy and Scott for being such wonderful hosts. I will be back!
Arriving down the narrow gravel road, we were not sure what to expect, but the Lodge turned out to be marvellous! The well spaced cabins are accessed by board walk through the rainforest. Our cabin was so remote the outer shower wall was glass! (One way glass we suspect). The cabins are clean, spacious and very comfortable. With no mobile coverage or TV access it is an ideal place to chill out and relax, (they do have a wide range of DVD’s you can borrow if you want ). The dining area is small and intimate but the meals are superbly prepared and presented. We even managed to see the elusive male and juvenile cassowary on our last day, amazingly lucky.
Was a beautiful, peaceful place to stay. You can’t beat the fresh air and scenery in this rainforest. The cabin was cozy and perfectly clean and well decorated. The dinner was amazing – still dreaming about the barbecue ribs and mash. No wifi or data in the rooms and rather slow wifi provided in the main area. Not their fault as the area was very spotty and they did the best they could. Perfect place to unwind and disconnect!
WOW! What a perfect spot for a honeymoon! Every room is like a private sanctuary in the middle of the rainforest. Even the shower has a magical view. I’m not sure how they managed to serve such great food but every meal was delicious. If they have crocodile spring rolls on the menu you have to try them.
The stay here was absolutely incredible. To be surrounded by the rainforest every morning and night was an incredible experience. Breakfast included was great so I didn’t need to worry, there are awesome choices for dinner also. They have air con and a fan (although wet season I found it was still very very hot because of humidity!) The family who own the resort are so kind and accommodating it was such a world class experience and I have very high standards! Thank you so much to the team at the wilderness lodge for the unforgettable stay. Beautiful escape, 5 stars and highly recommend.
Amazing time, lovely people and amazing food. Would definitely come back and stay. Nothing was too hard to help accomodate. The owners were very welcoming and friendly. Easy access to all areas of the Daintree. Premises were beautifully kept.
