★★★★★ 5/5
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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! The location is beautiful and secluded, like no other place I’ve been before. I think I enjoyed it more and more each day as I got used to the Daintree spirit and could really appreciate the magic and the surroundings.
The rooms are so fitting to the Daintree; rustic, wooden, cosy and welcoming. They have aircon, ceiling fan, fly screens on the windows, tv, mini fridge, kettle etc.
Bathroom is beautiful with a window looking out over the forest from the gorgeous shower.
Breakfast order is taken the day before and is brought out as soon as you arrive, beautiful fruit platter to start, and then very generous portions for main. You can book for dinner as well which is useful as there aren’t a lot of choices in the area, food was great.
Last but certainly not least, we fell in love with the managers and have to give a special thank you to Margaret as we had a lot of laughs with her and looked forward to seeing her each morning at breakfast. Nothing was a problem, even when we locked ourselves out one night haha. Margaret went out of her way to tell us about hidden gems we should see and you could tell genuinely loves sharing this knowledge and ensuring you have a great experience during your time in the Daintree.
If you want a truly magical nature/rainforest experience in a beautiful, secluded part of the world, I recommend this place. If you want a resort with lots of amenities and room service etc, this may not be the right choice for you, but you would miss out on all that it does offer ❤

My partner and I visited in November 2019. Lovely cabins immersed in the middle of the Daintree, surrounded by beautiful greenery and wildlife. My favourite part was the shower which had a clear glass window facing the rainforest. Our hosts were also lovely and gave us a very thorough overview of all the best spots to visit. An all-round tranquil experience which cannot be faulted.

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.

Unique , off the grid holiday

Overall a unique experience. Daisy, the manager there, was very accommodating and friendly. We were amazed how she managed to look after the reception , check-ins and the restaurant. There is wifi in the lobby but not in the rooms. Good for a digital detox and focus on the beautiful surrounding that daintree had to offer. Breakfast was provided so I definitely think it was worth the money . Food was good at the cycad restaurant 🙂

Daisy and Scott were wonderful hosts from the moment we arrived. Our cabin was delightful. The bathroom was special. Excellent food at the restaurant. The Lodge is close to stunning beaches, lots of walks and safe swimming holes and snorkeling opportunities. The Rainforest is magical.

Perfect getaway

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!
