"Great room. Depending on what room you have it could get a little noisy if you have noisy neighbors since some have 3~4 rooms sharing walls. The Tide Resturants is amazing one of the best food we have had. We got the special, crispy salmon and chefs bowl with barramundi. So good so we had it again the next night. Non of the other Resturants open for dinner looked that great. "

"There are no words to describe the experience of staying here. The listing looked too good to be true. Even after we walked through door and checked out the surroundings, to the tune of cricket song, it felt like we stepped into another dimension so different from our tired, stressed-out reality. It is rare to find such clean, safe, first-world luxury in the middle of a prehistoric rainforest! And Jacquie thought of everything to ensure we were well prepared for our visit - she was so responsive...

"The setting was beautiful and peaceful but if you dont like to be visited by Daintree insects during the night or are private like me with my bathroom habits with my partner yhrn this place may not suit you. At night bugs are attracted to the light and the bathroom and toilet is completely open to the elements meaning all types of insects ventured into the bathroom at night which was really stressful as you didnt know what you would find when u opened the door. Also if you need to go to toilet...

"The home was very comfortable to stay in, and even though neighbours are around in this rainforest space, it was still very private. Being perched on the side of the hill the views are expansive, and it catches any breeze making it a comfortable place in the tropics. We found it very comfortably for two, with lots of space indoors and out. The multi-level deck/verandah and plunge pool were a standout. We had a mixed week of rain and sunshine, and could spend time comfortably sheltered on the...
