Great to experience a night in the rainforest although not for the faint hearted! The sounds at night were a bit scary if you’re not used to it and a large branch or something fell onto our cabin and scared the life out of me! The heavy rain kept me awake most of the night as was very loud! I could not relax for fear of a tree falling but that’s just my anxiety as I’m sure it was quite safe! The showers and toilets were very clean as was the cabin. The pool was lovely to cool off in. The food choice was good but sorry to say the feta pasta and salad far too salty and therefore inedible. The pudding was also far too sugary but lovely! Maybe that’s the way they cook out here , I don’t know, but not to my personal taste. The ice cream place at the end of the road- flora fauna was so nice and an interesting place to visit much nicer than the Daintree ice cream. Owners were nice and friendly. Overall a good experience and I would recommend a night here. Daintree village the other side of the river is a lovely quaint place with lovely views of the river and we did a croc cruise from there and saw the biggest croc ever!

Exactly what we were told :)

Daintree Crocodylus are very clear in what they are and what they are not. We found their advice to be very accurate. Yes, they are "very JUNGLY" and that was great for us. My two kids had a great time and really enjoyed being in the rain forest with all the sounds. We met lots of great people in the communal area. We purchased food and it was great (leaning toward spicy for dinners so you might want to consider that with kids). My wife was impressed with the cleanliness of the toilets and showers. Check-in is casual. You can usually turn up about 12pm and check your room out. Actual formal checkin is at 5pm. I'd recommend exploring more of the Daintree and then arriving later for a swim in their pool. DC give good advice on what you can do. Before crossing the car ferry on the way up, consider doing a crocodile cruise at Daintree Village with Daintree Crocodiule Tours or similar. We did this and it saved an extra car ferry trip ($$). Saw 3 crocs :)

What a wonderful surprise to stay at this property. The tent style accommodation was a bit confronting at first, but as soon as you lay down and listened to the wildlife outside you soon realised how special Crocodylus is. Getting your bags to your gut was a bit of an effort, but, hey, how much “stuff” do you really need? We enjoyed our two night stay very much and would tell anyone interested to give it a go. Obviously, it’s not a 5 Star Hotel, but does offer something different that not all 5 Star Hotels can/do.
