Overall Ratings & Reviews Daintree Crocodylus

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!

great place to wind down.

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.

Great

Loved Loved this place. Especially the limited wifi and power - great for teens!!

Our family had a great stay. It is what it says it is. Great atmosphere chilling out in communal space. Kids enjoyed connecting with some other kids. Steve and staff were friendly and helpful. Nice clean linen and towels

Best Daintree experience for the family. Great food and stay, such a good vibe.

The safari tent experience is fantastic, the owners are lovely and cook great meals.

Gorgeous setting. Friendly welcome. Tents are solid as they withstood a very windy and rainy night. We didn't mind the limited availability of power. Food was tasty. One minor suggestion to managment - blankets could do with replacement.

Loved the rainforest feel of this place. It rained all night and listening to it hit the roof of our room was very relaxing. Unfortunately someone was smoking outside the room next door and came straight through our room all night.

Liked it’s isolation and minimalist approach. Simple but comfortable. No TV and limited electronic media devices. No a/c - just a fan. Jungle walk was a highlight.

A quiet place to immerse in a jungle setting. Sleeping to the sounds of the rainforest at night is wonderful.

We loved our stay. The friendly staff, Steve and Sally. Great home cooked food. Beautiful forest experience and loved the night forest walk. Kids loved the pool too. Thanks

I'll be honest and say I didn't read reviews of Crocodylus before we stayed. I saw a tent with a bathroom and I was in. Great communication from Sally prior to our stay regarding things to do and we booked the night walk. It's quite an experience staying here. The noise from the arguing scrub fowls is incredible. Bring earplugs! Power on at 7am for a few hours, back on at 5pm and off again at 10:30pm. If you are out and about after 10:30 make sure you have a torch. It's very, very dark as my partner found out... Follow the rules and do not leave food of any kind in your huts. We had a couple of clip lock bags with meds in them. A Menomys got into one that had been left open and had a chew on some blood thinning tablets! We got a picture of it still in the bag but let it out unharmed after it's photo op. The double bed is really small when you're used to a bigger bed. Maybe as they come up for replacement put queen beds in some of the cabins? Sally is a great cook!! Sally's dinners and breakfasts were excellent. Steve makes a mean coffee. Beer and cider was very reasonably priced. We didn't use the pool but it was clean and virtually leaf free, amazing considering the trees that surround it. Bring a pack of cards with you and either headlamps or a battery lamp to use in your hut after power off. If we return to the Daintree I'm pretty sure we'll stay another couple of nights at Crocodylus.

Basic accommodation in a superb setting. If you don’t come expecting luxury and want a real slice of living amid the rainforest then you’ll love it. Super Friendly welcome. Good quality, excellent value meals if you decide not to cook in the well set-up communal kitchen . The night walk is well worth it

Very friendly and helpful hosts. A most interesting location and style of accomodation.

Wasn’t very friendly or kid friendly. We arrived and we had 2 mice in room and we got blamed we just got there and had been in room for 30 mins when we found them.

The setting is beautiful but the family who are the current caretakers made the experience outstanding. They are wonderful people, great cooks, and helpful hosts in every way. They made this the highlight of our Australia trip.

If you are looking for a rainforest experience to watch birds, look no further. The location is great - a trail starts from your room. An added plus is a large self-service kitchen complete with everything you need to prepare your meals and a large outside dining area. Nice vibe to the place. We stayed in one of the safari tents, very thin walls requiring consideration of your neighbors! Overall, a great experience and a good chance to see cassowary.
