Guest review
10.0Truly something different, offering a Daintree escape and 5 star luxury.
Beautiful location, nice room
8.0The room is very nice, the surrounding nature reserve is beautiful
− No gym
Beautiful location for a quiet getaway.
8.0The bungalows were very private and quiet.The bar and restaurant setting was fabulous. The beach was beautiful.
− For a long stay the menu doesn’t change and you are a long way out of Port Douglas to just drive in for a drink or meal. The shower was very fiddly to get the right temperature and there was very little water pressure.
Gorgeous lodge, embracing nature to full, with very helpful happy passionate staff.
9.0Very beautiful peaceful spot, embracing nature to the full. Attended nature walk, coconut talk & star gazing - each member of staff was passionate & very knowledgeable about their topic which made them all well worth attending. Pool & oak beach gorgeous. Buggies transfer around resort were very easily available. Reception staff very helpful regarding local knowledge re reef trips. Restaurant food very good too.
− For 3 night stay we were only given one set of toiletries which seemed tight for 2 of us/ what we paid! Wasn’t as if resort was full! Also asked for daily housekeeping, which didn’t happen!
