Daintree Wilderness Lodge

My only wish is that we could have stayed longer! What an amazing place. I would love to go back and highly recommend to others wanting a unique and thoughtful Daintree experience.

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.

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

LOVED the tucked-away location in the rainforest. All the cabins were well spaced and private. The bathroom was really well appointed and despite being prepared to compromise on the hot water or the shower pressure it exceeded our expectations. The food was locally sourced, excellent quality and cooked by Jason to take into account individual preferences. The plunge pool was refreshing for a dip after a hot day in the rainforest. Sadly we didn't see a cassowary but the Night Walk which Jason organised for us with a well-informed naturalist was superb. The following day we followed the Nature Walk around the Wilderness Lodge grounds and spotted a Musky Rat-Kangaroo which was cute. All the staff were friendly and helpful and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay there.

When my partner initially said he had booked for us to stay at in the daintree in what he described as a cabin in the rainforest, being petrified of spiders and snakes I honestly thought this would be a living nightmare but it couldn’t have been further from reality. I was quite expecting to spend our time here not sleeping and fending off snakes from coming into our room however when the lady in reception said she had been there months and not seen one this put me at ease! 🐍 When we arrived, we were immediately greeted by a lovely member of staff who checked us in and talked to us about loads of recommendations of things to do in the area, we arrived late and missed the cut off for dinner but she arranged with the chef for us to have something to eat and then showed us to our room. The rooms have ample room, with a TV, fridge, tea and coffee facilities and an incredible bathroom with shower looking into the rainforest. The food was 10/10 - we ate here for both breakfast and dinner and were impressed with the quality of the food. There is WIFI - starlink in the reception / restaurant area which works quite well however signal else where is very hit and miss - we were more than happy with this wanting to switch off a bit. The owners are lovely, they make you feel so welcome and can’t actually do enough for you. We both came away saying how much more they could charge to stay here, it really is a hidden gem and a small piece of heaven. I am so glad we visited daintree and stayed here because it really did make the whole experience better. We will defiantly be back and I will recommend to everyone I know wanting a break away from the madness that life can be sometimes! Thank you for everything Fraser & Danny
