    No airconditioning in the room as the facility is off-grid, but there is a fan.

    Amazing location and a very friendly host. You are immersed in the rainforest; We spotted cassowary and his chick in the early morning. They are frequent visitors there as there are quite some plumtrees in the garden. The room is very clean and no bugs inside :)

    We arrived really late as we had to take a huge detour due to a closed road. The lady checking us in gave us excellent directions and advice, and stayed up to greet us and show us around. We decided to stay an extra night and she offered us another room (smaller than the one we booked) but she would not charge us for it. She is really the sweetest host. The resort is wonderful and quiet, and you're in the middle of the rainforest, just stunning. Short drive to Cape Tribulation and cafes and restaurants.

    Although internet is promoted as available it is poorly set up and so effectively useless. This compounds the very limited mobile access in the area.

    This is a very special location especially for those keen on their rainforest and its wildlife. Clearly the daily visit by the Cassowaries is a highlight. We also enjoyed the Sunbirds, Wompoo's and Rifle Birds. A great location to explore the Daintree particularly while wanting to cater for ourselves.

    We stayed 4 nights in the family unit which was very spacious and has everything you need with a full cooker, microwave, fridge and everything to cook with. The bed was very comfortable. The apartments are right in the Rainforest with lovely gardens adjacent to them which makes such a lovely setting. We were lucky and saw the cassowary making his trip through the garden. The apartment is very well located to explore the Daintree Rainforest. Thank you Marie for all your help and advice on where to go and for a lovely stay
