This place is fantastic if you love being close to nature and enjoy the sounds of wildlife while you are going to sleep and as soon as you wake. It's a perfect location for walking in Daintree and the staff and food are amazing. The night walk is great and allows you to see lots of wildlife that you wouldn't see if you were out on your own. There is lots of amphibian, reptile and invertebrate life living in the overhead canopy that leads you to your room so have a look at night with a...

The Lodge exceeded our expectation. The individual lodges were very well appointed and tucked away in the forest. When we arrived the staff were very helpful, as they were throughout our four day stay. The meals were varied and imaginative ... well done chef! Diwan is centrally located in the Daintree so the Lodge is a good spot from which to explore. We loved it.

Absolutely loved our stay.. we are a family of four with two little kids :) the pool is right next to the restaurant (which has AMAZING food) so the kids could swim & we could easily watch them and enjoy our meal which was served by really lovely hospitality staff… even had a chat to the chef!
The manager is a wonderful and warm host with great recommendations and always there for a chat!

The Motel was really clean with recently updated modern rooms. The owner couldn't have been more helpful and welcoming and the room was great value for money.

Excellent position right in town. Restaurants, pubs, supermarket, and the beach are all within a 5 minute walking distance radius. The managers were excellent, giving us advice on where to eat, as well as lending us some toys to keep our 18 month year old happy!

Very well located on the main street between the inlet and the beach. Generous size rooms and an outside balcony overlooking some greenery. Laundry facilities are not in the room but they are free and accessible. The car park is very tight and would not suit a large car but overall a great place to stay in Port Douglas, and reception staff we’re very friendly

When is the best time to go to Cow Bay?
The best time to go to Cow Bay is during the dry season, from May to October, when the weather is consistently pleasant and ideal for exploring.
During these months, you'll experience warm, sunny days with lower humidity and minimal rainfall, making it great for outdoor activities like swimming, snorkelling, and hiking through the Daintree Rainforest. The ocean is generally calmer, and the chances of encountering marine stingers are reduced, though it's always advisable to check local conditions.
This period is particularly good for couples looking for a relaxing escape. The agreeable weather allows for comfortable drives along the scenic coastal roads and leisurely strolls on the beaches without the intensity of the wet season's heat and humidity. Many local tours and activities, such as rainforest walks and reef trips, operate reliably during this time.
Families will also find these months ideal. The dry conditions make it easier to enjoy the natural attractions with children, from splashing in the ocean to exploring the Daintree Discovery Centre.
