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.

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.

Ultimate Rainforest Stay
The Daintree Wilderness Lodge is the place to stay if you are looking to experience a complete immersion into the rainforest in absolute comfort. You drive off Cape Trib Road and into the lodge and immediately you are in the thick of the forest, with fan palms, ancient trees and vines all around you – we even saw a cassowary in the car park! Elevated walkways connect each cabin to reception and the restaurant and there is even a great rainforest walk on the property.
The welcome and recommendations we received on check in were top notch and the food was delicious! Highly recommend dining in – the restaurant is just for in house guests and has a great intimate feeling. Great wine list too.
The bed was very comfortable and the cabin was spacious and filled with light during the day – the large windows throughout, including in the bathroom makes you feel like you are outside, not in.
We spent a weekend here and cannot wait to come back.

Delightful luxury in the rainforest!
Beautiful boutique accommodations in the world’s oldest rainforest. Don’t come to the Daintree if you are expecting the Ritz.This place is lovely, charming, and delightful!Wonderful dinners, helpful and friendly staff, with modern, clean, and ‘California Big Sur’ styled cabins offer wonderful rustic luxury deep in this ancient rainforest. Set amongst towering and majestic trees and ferns, the property’s elevated walkways immerse guests in the magical wonderland of the Daintree.
Perfect rustic luxury!

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.

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.

One of the most beautiful places I’ve ever stayed!
A truly once in a lifetime experience. Absolutely beautiful location in the middle of the rainforest with only a handful of cabins meant it was a special experience. Couldn’t fault the place at all everything was lovely. Food was 5 star, amazing customer service and the shower overlooks the rainforest. Definitely an amazing place!

Daintree is an area surrounded by flora and fauna. There is little to no telco reception which makes the place a peaceful oasis. Our lodge was newly renovated and our hosts were delightful. The property is surrounded by rain forest and local native Australian animals. Meals are within a beautiful setting with farm to table produce and a good selection of wines. We had a wonderful and peaceful two nights and highly recommend the getaway.

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.

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.

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.
