Independent in Desailly

"We had a wonderful stay. Great lodge, super clean, very well appointed, lovely bar and restaurant with delicious food. The setting is amazing, you are in the rainforest with a stretch of river to swim in, the pool is also unique! The spa treatments we had were extremely good and reasonably priced. The stay was made extra special by the wonderful staff, everyone was warm and welcoming and went out of their way to make our stay magical. We hope to return one day!!! "

"Prefect getaway and staff were always helpful "

"The house was exactly as described. Suited our family needs was relaxing had everything we needed and we had an enjoyable stay "

"It would have been excellent except for the disaster on arrival. The house was open, no keys in lock box, beds unmade, messes everywhere including dried vomit, smelly fish guts outside, mosquitoes through open house, dirty dishes, BBQ a mess, etc. There was apparently a mixup with the normally reliable cleaner not aware we were arriving Jan 2 (booked and paid six months ahead) and the owner couldn’t reach her for hours. The owner was apologetic and gave us a one night refund (not including fees) but it doesn’t feel like enough given the extreme disappointment and inconvenience, with our group having to do hours of cleaning to make the place liveable while we prepared a special 80th birthday dinner. The cleaner finally arrived and improved the place but the damage was done after many months of anticipation of this family gathering. And we never did get keys to the place, the previous renter still had them which was a security issue.In spite of the problems, our family rallied and did their best to focus on the many positive aspects of this accommodation. It has beautiful views and rainforest landscaping, a lovely pool and other nice features, and is only a short drive to Mossman Gorge and Port Douglas. "
