The rooms were small and cramped, the fridge was noisy. The rooms have a sliding door to the porch used by everyone, but no window. So at night you cannot leave the door open to get fresh air. The porch has a common kitchen, so it can get noisy and does not feel private at all. Fine for one night stopover but I wouldn't stay for a holiday.

The property is close to the boat ramp where some of the nature cruises take of from. The views of the river are nice too.

Cooking facilities poor- nonstick pans all scratched up so you end up eating teflon...No nonmetallic spatula or spoons to use with pans. Staff finally gave me one but I had to sign my life away for it. No Wifi. No dinner available at nearby cafe on days I was there and staff did not tell me that there was another place to eat.

Convenient to river cruise i was taking the next day.

A bit run down but clean.

This an old property with a wonderful location. Just next to the boat ramp where the amazing boat bird tours leave. So a very practical location for an early morning start. The hotel opposite which serves meals was closed whilst we were there which meant some guests were unaware and hadn’t self catered. Fortunately for us we were able to reserve a table at the Eco Lodge 3kms away which has a wonderful setting and delicious food.

the mattress could have been better as the springs dug in a bit

great location overlooking the Daintree River, with pub and cafe across the road Room was a bit ordinary with no tv in the room or in the common area

Only that we didn't make the time to stay longer.

The overall experience of staying at the Daintree Riverview Lodges is one you have to experience to fully appreciate. It's quiet, with beautiful scenery, basic but perfectly suited rooms to the area, with tea & coffee making facilities, towels and soap, & a mini fridge in your room. The restaurant over the road served yummy food and catered for a variety of dietary needs. It was perfect.

Beautiful location and great recommendation by Sally for a river tour. We loved it. Thank you.

Leaving, would have liked another week at least. But we were time, poor

Absolutely loved this place. Tonya the host was super. She was a mine of information. We enjoyed eating with other guests on the expansive balcony. Just across the road was an awesome village pub that served incredible food. The birdlife at the Daintree Village is fabulous. Its not too far from the car ferry to Cape Tribulation and about 30 minutes from the famous Mossman Gorge. Thats a must visit.

No where to put your clothes other than 4 hooks with hangers, needs some shelves or draws. Small fridge, not really suitable for self-catering. The freezer compartment needed defrosting and had 3 inches of ice, so any food placed near the ice box froze. The shared kitchen wasn't a kitchen but more of a prep area with a toaster and a kettle.

Veranda overlooking the river. Ideal for wildlife river cruise. Decent large shower. Lots of cups and plates provided. The preparation area was very clean

Similar to what's already been said; The floor behind the bed needs a decent vaccum, the water from the shower leaks through the tiles onto the floor, the kitchen facilities didn't have the basic utensils (i.e. kitchen knife, spatula & tongs), no soundproofing so any earlybird adventurers making moves in the wee hours can be heard walking up and down the veranda and using the outdoor kitchen, mould in the fridge, a section of the veranda dips when you walk on it (which is covered by matting so it must be known).

It's a good location with a lovely view. It's right next to one of the river cruise docking points.

Nothing at all

This place is heavenly….wish I could have stayed much longer……It’s sooo relaxing here….very peaceful and beautiful too! Friendly, helpful owner ( Peter ) made me feel very welcome and very much ‘at home’ here…. Sad to leave!

1. On arrival, between 16:00-17:00, found no-one at reception, but a notice on the door to call number if no-one there. This is not acceptable because one may not have a cellphone - fortunately I had a local SIM card. 2. Contrary to expectations, the lodges do not have their own parking - one has to park in the street outside and carry stuff across a patch of grass and a deck shared with all the other lodges. This is inconvenient if one wants to repack stuff during a trip. 3. The room was ok but the only housekeeping thing actually IN the room was a fridge. Not even a kettle. All the cooking facilities are on an outside deck and shared with the other lodges. Again inconvenient and not what one would expect at this price. So while the Booking Confirmation from Booking.com states all the features that exist, it does not make clear that they are SHARED and not contained within each unit. I found this misleading; it was not what I expected, because most cabins in the Cairns/Atherton area are self-contained.

Location is v convenient for Daintree R boat trips.

No wifi at all, no tv and the floor was dirty. Behind the bed was putrid as I discovered when trying to plug in my charger. Everything is very dated.

The proximity to the Daintree river and Cape Trib is great. The diversity of people coming and going was interesting for meeting people

An overpriced rundown establishment

Not much

Visitors cars have to be left on the street about 100metres from the hotel room. there are no trollies or other means to help move luggage from the road to the room. So travel light.

The view of the river, the area. We came to do an early morning river cruise to see birds

Nothing, just remember the bug spray :)

Perfect placement, beautiful atmosphere and views. The property has safe, homely feel which made me feel very comfortable and at ease. Sally was friendly and helpful, and very welcoming, even though I was quite late to check in! I will definitely be returning. :)

Beautiful place to stay. Could have easily stayed for longer.

Beautiful scenery in the quirky daintree village, great welcoming staff, very clean, very comfortable.

Stayed several times previously aand the best attraction was the view and eating area. This is no longer an option, but you get a dorm room with a filthy shared two ring electric plate and a microwave. Do not bother to stay.

Pub opposite.

Every time I moved on the bed mattress there was a plastic sounding noice. Some bug zappers outside the balcony would be great. Especially around the communal kitchen area.

N/A

it was close to everything that we wanted to see. The staff were lovely and very helpful. The view to the Daintree River was great and it was nice to sit on the verandah and watch the sunset.

Stayed in August 2022

Rooms were very dirty, dusty, visibly not cleaned properly for years. No TV, no wardrobe, just a few hooks on walls with coat hangers on them. Thin floors that creaked loudly so you could hear people stomping around rooms next to you. Think the bed had dust mites as we were very itchy. The ladies next door to us said the same thing. Was very disappointed. I could see by internet pictures that the place was old but it looked clean on pictures. Would get shut down if health inspectors checked it out.

The location was OK. Not much around, old pub had dinners but wasn't always open, chalkboard sign outside with opening times, then it didn't open at all.
