Great setting in the rainforest. Staff very helpful and friendly. Only issue on our visit is that it felt the lodge had opened a little too soon after the renovations required after Cyclone Jasper. Things didn't run as smoothly as we were expecting

Beautiful rainforest retreat, with beautiful view. Amazing staff and breakfast was fantastic! Property has waterfall trail. Too many mosquitoes, they were fierce.

Hi Rachel,Thank you for the kind words, we are so fortunate to be situated within an ancient tropical rainforest. Unfortunately mosquitoes do come with the territory, we always encourage our guests to use the insect repellent found around the lodge.

Ideal for rainforest experience
Overall experience was excellent. Cabins were clean, spacious and set up to control rainforest sounds and light as needed. Also well protected against mossies and bugs. The restaurant was a stand out in terms of setting, service and food/wine. Location good for access to Daintree tours. Highly recommended.

We had a beautiful time. Due to a lot of the local businesses being closed we were super grateful that we could get all meals at the property. Food was delicious and the cocktails exceeded expectation. Staff were super friendly and helpful.

Ultimate customer service and great location
Great location and view. The staff were unbelievable, nothing was a problem and they went out of their way to make our stay perfect. I can’t remember the last time we received such great service from all a hotel. Spa treatment, private dinner on the deck and front counter customer service all amazing.

Perfect - relaxation in the rainforest
We stayed for 3 nights in October in a canopy bayan. Everything in the room seemed brand new, it was very clean, well maintained and comfortable. The setting was so relaxing and peaceful, it felt like you were in a treehouse in the canopy of the rainforest. I slept so well, and felt so refreshed and relaxed from our stay. All staff were friendly and attentive. Driving around the scenery is very pretty. We enjoyed trips up to Cape Tribulation, Mossman Gorge, a dawn photography cruise on the Daintree river with Daintree Boatman, and a scenic flight covering the reef and rainforest with Nautilus Aviation (from Port Douglas) during our stay. The rest of the time we relaxed....and this was the perfect place to do it.

Peaceful relaxing stay with great service
Stay was amazing- great hotel in an amazing tranquil setting. Staff were knowledgeable and super friendly that went above and beyond. Only comment would be in such a gorgeous location a nice/modern pool would have been nice if we were staying for longer. That being said I would not let that deter anyone.

Way overpriced for what you're getting. And eve if it was decently priced, still disappointing. I was expecting pristine conditions, but everything looked a bit rundown. The cabins were fairly dark, not bright and sunny like I was expecting. The staff were nice. The restaurant was pretty good but also overpriced. The place is beautiful but that's where it ends. Everything is a surcharge, it's quite annoying.

We loved the feeling of being so close to nature and yet enjoying a high level of comfort. The menu in the restaurant , although limited due to the small number of guests, was superbly prepared and presented and delicious. Our room was very clean and comfortable; and the staff could not have been friendlier or more helpful during our stay

From the minute we arrived everyone was welcoming and friendly, answering all our questions about things to do in the area. The rooms are separate from each other and located in the rainforest canopy, we were in a Banyan room which I believe are still being renovated. The room #5 was clean with a nice enclosed balcony where you could enjoy a tea or coffee, read a book and listen to the birds. The restaurant is very nice and by a lagoon, the food was good, I though breakfast was very good. Our server who is also the yoga teacher was lovely and described the dishes well. The only issue was we only had enough hot water for one shower. We were only there for one night if not I’m sure they would have rectified the issue as they were very apologetic in the morning. I would definitely stay at the lodge again if I were to go back to the Daintree. Thank you to the staff.

Excellent service, such friendly, helpful staff!
Felt like part of the family, the receptionist and kitchen staff took such great care of us, going above and beyond, even taking last minute requests for breakfast packs and helping us out with fuel when we stupidly forgot the petrol station would be closed! Breakfast was fantastic! Lagoon and pool were beautiful. Only cons: Our room was an old one though unfortunately with cracks in the wood, and our bed configuration request was not followed. We stayed 3 nights but it wasn't enough!

Daintree Eco Lodge is a great place to stay assuming you can get a decent price. I wouldn't pay more than $200-250/night. The "waterfall" was down to a tickle and there was no waterhole in mid-November 2015. It was still a nice walk but something to keep in mind if you're fantasizing about swimming in the falls. The pool was nice to keep cool though and travelling in November means you're almost alone. Food was very good, including the breakfast. We never had lunch at the hotel but had a decent burger and fish and chips in Daintree Village.

Daintree Eco Lodge & Spa the best place to relax
We have just spent 3 nights here celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary. What a lovely spot, so secluded and relaxing with excellent friendly service. All the extra touches where just beautiful. Thank you. We will definitely be back.

Escape from "city living"
The Daintree Eco Lodge was the perfect place to escape from the "city rush" and reconnect with nature. The location was beautiful and well located when planning day trips. The walkways, and some of the outside facilities required some maintenance but due to the rainforest location it is understandable a difficult task. The staff, and the food was fantastic. And a reasonable price. Do yourself a favour and enjoy a few days here!

Wonderful stay! Highly recommend.
I had a friend that had stayed at this hotel years ago and said it was fantastic then but had increased in price so they hadn't stayed on subsequent visits. Managed to find an amazing deal for our stay on Hotels.com. The staff were friendly, helpful and enthusiastic. The room was well maintained, clean, comfortable with windows open/fan but also has an A/C. Screened patio overlooked grassy area below - even saw a wallaby hop through one morning, Dinner in the restaurant the first night was fantastic, as was the included daily breakfast. Although the standard rate for this hotel is more than I would normally pay for a hotel, if you're going to the Daintree area, I wouldn't hesitate to splurge for at least one night, and if you're budget allows or you can get a good deal, certainly stay for the entire trip!

Beautiful accommodation surrounded by rainforest
I stayed here with a friend as part of a birthday trip exploring Far North Queensland and loved every moment of it. Sure the weather was unseasonably wet but it *is* the rainforest so we should have known rain might be an option. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, providing us with lots of information to help us decide where to explore during the day and helping us to arrange relaxing massages for our return. We ate at the restaurant for dinner both nights and were impressed on both occasions. Being able to take part in a walk with a local Aboriginal Traditional Owner (and to hear some of his impressive didjeridoo playing) was also great. All in all I would highly recommend it.

Great rainforest experience. Bayans were tucked into the forest with screened in porch so enjoy the sounds of the forest - both day and night. Staff was attentive and food (dinner and breakfast) was good. A quiet retreat with no TV or phone (except in Lodge).
