We loved our stay at Daintree Wilderness Lodge… a highlight of our trip to Australia. The location is amazing – so peaceful. There were some animals wandering around the property too, including a baby cassowary! The rooms are very private, not overlooked at all, so you can sleep with the curtains open. The room was spotlessly clean and stocked with tea/coffee. The food was great (remember to order your dinner ahead of time), and the staff were very friendly and knowledgeable for things to do in the area. Would love to make it back here some day!

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.

Daintree Holiday
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.

Loved it!!
Loved everything about the Lodge! Warm welcome, the cabins are lovely and located right in the forest, secluded from one another for privacy. We had a gorgeous shower with view on the trees and were also positively impressed by the restaurant. Our barramundi and Nasi Goreng were delicious, as was the breakfast. We were not lucky with the cassowaries, but I’d still advice to take the short walk around the lodge.

So grateful for such a lovely getaway in the Daintree! It is such a gorgeous, tranquil place to stay, right in the heart of the rainforest. The location is perfect with Mossman Gorge, Crocodile experiences, Great Barrier Reef snorkelling, Emmagen Creek and more so close by. The food was exquisite and all the staff so kind and happy to help. Thank you for such a great holiday!

Perfect Rainforest Getaway
Set within the rainforest. Immerse yourself in nature, unplug and unwind.
Cosy well styled cabin stunning views from every window – especially the shower!
The comfortable bed with quality linen made for a great night’s sleep amongst the sounds of the rainforest.
Thank you Daisy and Scott for being such wonderful hosts. I will be back!

Five stars experience in World Heritage Daintree Rainforest
We spent three days and two night in the Daintree Rainforest. We have never had that opportunity so we didn’t know what to expect. We have researched and by word of mouth elected to stay two nights at the Daintree Wilderness Lodge. The Lodge is located between Daintree River Ferry and Daintree Rainforest. V easy accessible by car. We had a lovely time at the Lodge. Fantastic breakfast (included), Nature Walk (on the premise for an hour to a beautiful creek), excellent dinner every night at the Lodge. The cabin we stayed in blended into the Rainforest surrounding with sky roof, glass shower (we can see cassowaries walking past and they can see us). Sleeping in the cabin gives us experience first hand of living under the Rainforest canopy. We came in Oct and there is almost no signs of mosquito. The hosts and wait staff are all v friendly, helpful and food served is immaculate. All credit to the Daintree Wilderness Lodge Team. We will come again.

Really enjoyed the stay at the Daintree wilderness lodge. An unique experience, in the forest, well equipped, and clean! The dinner and breakfast offering were great too! I would recommend this to my friends.

Wonderful rainforest retreat
This place is amazing. We woke up to the sound of the rainforest and showered with a window looking onto the rainforest. The food was fantastic, both for breakfast and dinner. You order your meals ahead and BYOB. Our cabin was really comfortable, we only needed the aircon occasionally as the fan was great. We sat outside the cabin early with coffee listening to the forest wake up. We used the cold jacuzzi to cool down after a long day sightseeing. The host gave us great recommendations for places to visit. Highly recommended

While booking a cabin at the Daintree Wilderness Lodge online, I thought it was too good to be true. However, the Lodge actually far exceeded our expectations. Daintree Wilderness Lodge is a boutique hotel, with only 7 wooden cabins, each one having its own attached bathroom. Our bathroom were very spacious and clean. Each cabin is quite large and is connected to the reception/breakfast area through an elevated boardwalk. Each cabin is away from the next cabin, so privacy is not an issue. The Lodge is located in the middle of the forest and yet is so easily accessible by car (no need for a 4×4). Our cabin had a little skylight too which meant that during the day, there was no need to switch on any lights, and in the light you could see quite a few stars even with the dense forest canopy.
Daintree Wilderness Lodge is a family-run establishment. Scott, who overseas the running of the hotel, is friendly, super helpful and kind. He gave us some great suggestions and advise so that we could make the most of the Daintree. Many people visit Daintree only as a day-trip, but I honestly feel that that does no justice to the majesty of the forest. We were there for 3 nights, but perhaps one more day would have been nice. After a long day of walking and trekking, it was great to just be in the hotel and wind down. While you are in the Daintree, consider yourself to be “off the grid”. Mobile connection (especially internet) is very flaky throughout the forest, with a few pockets where you get connectivity. In the hotel, there is Wi-Fi in the reception/breakfast area but not in the cabins. There is no live TV connection but there is a TV and a DVD player, and a pretty good selection of DVDs!
I would recommend this hotel for anyone who wants to stay at the Daintree. If I ever visit again, this is where I would be staying. We even got a discount by booking directly on their website.

We had a terrific stay at the Daintree Wilderness Lode! If you are looking for comfortable accommodation that makes you feel completely immersed into the rainforest then this is it. Awesome food, lovely staff and we even saw a cassowary in the car park. Highly recommend for those that want to explore the daintree, love the outdoors and want to disconnect for a night or two.

A Most Memorable Experience
We had a wonderful time here, staying 4 nights which is just about right. The place is so peaceful and you are genuinely immersed in the forest. We particularly enjoyed the cold spa pool which we sat in at the end of each day, enjoying a local beer. Veronica and the staff were great and gave us lots of information on the best places to visit. The evening meals were fabulous and they had a good selection of wine and beers. It was particularly nice being able to dine outside each evening. Highly recommended.
