Loved the location, had 2 walking paths from property right into rainforest. Clean spacious quiet room, the screened in porch was my favourite part. Did not really enjoy the restaurant- food was not that good for the price. Got the steak and it was very grisly. The hotel bar in Daintree village is the place to go eat- they had excellent food! The restaurant was also absolutely covered in spiders because it’s outside so would have liked to see some maintenance done regarding that issue. Just dust the webs off every day or 2 and that would be better. Didn’t feel very comfortable dining. That was the only bad part, everything else was excellent

Perfect stay at the Daintree Eco Lodge. The rooms are lovely and spacious. Really liked the ‘outside’ enclosed sala. All the villas are private and all you can hear are the sounds of birds and frogs. The staff are amazing. They go out of their way to make you feel at home and the service is impeccable. Food is delicious and they do great cocktails! We stayed for three nights and ate at the restaurant every evening. An absolute must is the ATV tour to the waterfall. You’ll get very wet so go in swimwear only. It was so much fun. 10/10 for us

We loved our stay in the Canopy Bayan - it was quiet and secluded - just the sounds of the rainforest. The bayan windows are entirely screened in, so you can leave the shutters open if you want to listen to the rainforest all night. The rest of the property is beautiful and we really enjoyed the food at the restaurant! I was thrilled they had a plant based menu! :)

Staff went above and beyond to ensure you felt welcome and settled upon arrival. The young Irishman was a fountain of knowledge about the facility, surrounding areas, nature in the area and naturally the food and drink. He epitomised high quality hospitality. The gentleman who took care of the rainforest gardens worked long hours and was always productively engaged. A very relaxed stay, even napped during the day, which is highly unusual.

We stayed for 3 nights in October in a canopy bayan. Everything in the room seemed brand new, it was very clean, well maintained and comfortable. The setting was so relaxing and peaceful, it felt like you were in a treehouse in the canopy of the rainforest. I slept so well, and felt so refreshed and relaxed from our stay. All staff were friendly and attentive. Driving around the scenery is very pretty. We enjoyed trips up to Cape Tribulation, Mossman Gorge, a dawn photography cruise on the Daintree river with Daintree Boatman, and a scenic flight covering the reef and rainforest with Nautilus Aviation (from Port Douglas) during our stay. The rest of the time we relaxed....and this was the perfect place to do it.
