Utter tranquility in a beautifully appointed cottage in the heart of the rainforest.
10.0
Incredible tranquility with a gorgeous view of the mountains absolutely in the heart of the rainforest. The bedroom is beautifully appointed and the breakfast supplies, which suited our quite specific dietary needs, was perfect. There’s even superb soaps made by the proprietor. We adored cooking in the well appointed outdoor kitchen and having a nice glass of wine in the hot tub with a view was heavenly. We stayed three days and could have stayed much longer.
− Nothing. It was fabulous.

Eenvoudig maar leuk onderkomen midden in Daintree.
8.0
Uitzicht. Gevoel midden in het regenwoud te zijn. Keuken en douche in open lucht.
− Terras slecht overdekt en maar één luie stoel. Hadden meer vogels verwacht. Was al bekend, maar toch: geen apparaten mogelijk (broodrooster, föhn, waterkoker). Eenvoudig ontbijt, wel veel fruit.
