Ferntree was basic accommodation. Towels were shabby, lighting around the place was not sufficient at night, restaurant food was below par, the beds were uncomfortable and the noise between rooms was far too evident

The garden villa was very private! The staff were amazing and very friendly and always happy to help.

Great location, extremely dated property, rooms not as described. Left a day early.

AN excellent location smack in the middle of Daintree. Close drives for sightseeing, freshwater swimming holes .

Excellent location in the rainforest so close to lots of activities that I think we didn't go more than 3km from the room for the first few days. Surprisingly good food - Aussie share platter & spicy chicken burger were tops. Friendly staff, great pool & aircon! The rainforest climate is harsh on all that timber though - boardwalks & walls in the resort need some upkeep. Will stay there again.

Mostly happy except a couple of annoying things. The room and restaurant quite nice. Staff friendly except a little annoyed when I asked for extra wifi. You get 200MB which I thought was per day and had a hard time getting another 200MB for 2nd day which coincidentally was on a separate booking. We probably used our 200MB watching a short news video ironically because no TV in the room despite the room pic and room description saying there was a TV. So no TV was the 2nd annoying issue. We actually cut our trip short preferring to stay south of the Daintree. But the hotel is mostly nice and would get higher score if the could fix the wifi and TV issues.

Love this area and accommodation was close to the beach and walks. Very friendly and helpful staff. Very clean and spacious cabin and lovely pool area. We even received a free upgrade... fabulous.

It wasn’t bad but rooms need renovation. The Cassowary restaurant is fabulous & very reasonably priced.

Great accommodation right in the rainforest, staff were friendly and professional. Beautiful location.

The property is a little run down but it is excellent value and a lovely ppace to stay in the rainforest. The dinner platter featuring kangaroo, crocodile and barramundi was delicious. Friendly staff, nice pool and close ro Cape Trib attractions. Our second stay here.

The facilities are a bit tired, but ok. The so-called "breakfast buffet" has little to offer, and what runs out is not necessarily replenished- eg no yoghurt once the first load is used up. I had toast with butter 3 days in a row. One day even cutlery was missing. The best: Staff on the floor are friendly and helpful. But the overall organisation seems lacking, as seems the will to spend any money on the business. The worst: we got overcharged by $520, and it took hours of emails and ph calls to get our money back. We got the refund about 24hrs before the deadline we had set for going to the small claims court. We were told on 3 occasions that the money was on the way, on 2 occasions were even given what on the surface appeared to be a genuine proof of payment, only to find out later that the money had not been transferred at all. Whatever relaxation benefit our stay in the lovely surrounds of Cape Tribulation had given us evaporated quickly in the aftermath of our stay. The overall feel was that of a dying business- we would not go there again.

This property is about as unique as it gets. It was beautiful, lush and has a tranquil and inviting freshwater pool. Fantastic and well priced options at the restaurant - the Utopia Australian platter for $50 was more than enough to feed three people - the best value quality restaurant we’ve come across in Queensland - the crocodile skewers with lemon myrtle, rib eye, kangaroo steak with pomegranate jus, calamari were all delicious and perfectly cooked. Our family loved the loft lodges which are in a private setting nestled within the rainforest - clean rooms, good towels, bed a little too firm for my liking but fine. There isn’t any phone coverage or internet in this remote area but you can purchase a wifi card and log in to wifi on your device at the restaurant. Important to note there are no TVs in the rooms. As this property is set within the Daintree there is an abundance of plants and trees, and wildlife. If you like remote and unique destinations, close to rainforest waterholes and jump off point to outer reef snorkeling trips, you’ll enjoy this one.

I felt like i was in the rain forest the whole time. Relaxing and quite

Must be a monumental task maintaing a hotel in damp rainforest conditions, though it doesn't look like much was achieved during recent 3 month dry spell. The place looks a little run down and tired, as do the backpacker staff.

Wonderful property, great location, about 5 min walk to the beach or less (but no stinger nets so you can't swim there anyway). We ate at the restaurant which was great (barramundi, croc spring rolls and salt and pepper squid) we ate the same meals two nights in a row because they were so good. Great Melbourne-style coffee nearby at the Turtle Rock Cafe.

First impressions of this eco accommodation had me a little hesitant and disappointed – & I didn’t think I’d stay more than 1 night. To check in we found the place abandoned. We had to walk down to the second driveway where the restaurant is located & found a young lady who checked us in. It is rustic & a little dilapidated in spots. The place was probably magnificent in its heyday and still has so much potential. The edges of our veranda were succumbing to a bit of rot and the door to our bathroom has seen much better days too – it was flaking paint & literally falling apart. The lighting is so dim, it hardly makes a difference. I understand it must be incredibly difficult to keep up with maintenance in this tropical climate but there’s no excuse for some things eg. the sink plug was mouldy & should have been replaced & the cabin had a musty smell, which we rectified with some tea tree oil. Now for the positives – & there are so many! Our beautiful loft was bright and sunny during the day, extremely clean & the huge bed is very comfortable. We slept so well. The shower is great. There’s ceiling fans & an air conditioner if you need some cool – however there is no television or hairdryer, which was not an issue & keeps in with the whole ecology movement. The grounds of the lodge have spectacular vegetation. The pool is great & so is the restaurant. The breakfast at $10 for cereal & toast is too expensive when you can get better down the road.

Fabulous private location amongst the trees ! A little ‘tired’ but still perfectly comfortable and satisfactory. Great staff. Wonderful pool and gorgeous dinning area !

Gorgeous setting amongst the rainforest, delicious meals at the restaurant and lovely staff. Just a pity our room smelled like mould. The dampness of the rainforest has definitely taken its toll on this gorgeous property,

Very basic but had what we needed. The room was one of four in a building with a lovely wrap around verandah, surrounded by rainforest. However any movement in the other rooms, opening of a sliding door or walking on the verandah could be quite well heard and/or felt, but would be fine with quiet neighbours. Location was great. A little bit of a walk from the car park to the room, but fine if not carting too much luggage. Overall, a lovely rainforest feel to the place as a whole, good location and good budget pick.

This property was in a fantastic location. The rooms themselves need maintenance. Our bed was very hard which did make sleeping difficult. The room was very clean though. Staff were friendly and helpful. The restaurant area is amazing and food is good as well. I would stay again if we had a different bed.The price is very reasonable. There is also not any cell phone coverage and you need to buy wifi.
