Mantra in Daintree - Cape Tribulation from AU$172

"Thala was the perfect break - a quiet, wild oasis. Seamless check in and helpful porters are quick to take you about the resort in gold buggies. Rooms are tucked away and private, ideal for romantic get aways. There is so much to do on the property - highly recommend both the southern loop and the more rugged nature walk. The guided nature tour with Dave was a highlight, so much knowledge about flora and fauna. The property itself is 20-30 years old but very well maintained. Everything is set in dense woodland so there are leaves, sticks, bugs and cane toads - this is part of nature and not a detriment. Using the Optus network I had solid 4G on most of the property including on the walks and in our room. This is a place that’s less about instagram vibe and more about peaceful connection with a rewilded piece of land. Very highly recommended. "

"Great holiday "

"Great location just a 2 minute walk to the main shopping/bars/restaurants yet still very quiet at night. The one bedroom on the first floor (11A) was fantastic with a large balcony. Great pool area and the property is immaculately kept. The addition on laundry facilities and underground parking were a great additional touch - certainly would recommend "

"Great stay!"

"Staff really made this stay exceptional "

"Great spot, walkable to town centre, nice hotel, good sized rooms "

"Great location; nice resort; beach access"

"Our family stayed at Silkari Lagoons in Port Douglas recently and overall had a very enjoyable time. The setting is surrounded by lush gardens, lagoon-style pools (six of them), and relaxing BBQ areas make it feels like a tropical resort. The room was spacious, we had a dual key 3 bedroom, it was well‑equipped with a kitchenette and laundry facilities, which was really handy. The staff were warm and helpful, especially with tour suggestions and local info. Cleanliness was good; common areas were well-maintained. There are a few things potential guests should be aware of: some of the swim‑out or swim‑in rooms may end up in shadow depending on the orientation, which can affect sun exposure at the pool or balcony. Also, the distance from the main shops and restaurants means having a car helps, or you’ll rely on transport."
