Resorts in Daintree

Clarkson United Kingdom

The location in the rainforest is wonderful. This is a small hotel, with the cabins placed to ensure your privacy. Our cabin was very comfortable. The shower room has a great window onto the rainforest. Our aircon unit was very noisy so we didn't use that. The ceiling fan was whisper quiet and even at the end of October that was all we needed. Being under the trees helps keep the cabins cool. The food was excellent. That was a real treat. We had no rain so were able to dine on the deck surrounded by the forest at night. THe water is from a bore hole on site and is lovely. The staff were very friendly and helpful and from all over the world. We were unusual in that we stayed for 8 days. Most people stay for less time. We didn't want to keep moving around with heavy cases too much. We found plenty to do but we are very interested in the natural world rather than more touristy things. The Madja boardwalk is a 10 minute drive away which we did most mornings before breakfast while it was quiet. There is a lovely nature walk on the premises down to their swimming hole. There was plenty of evidence of Cassowaries on the ground! We had a very close enounter with one on the Madja board walk. We were there to enjoy the rainforest itself. We did go on a croc cruise and a sunset bird watching trip from Daintree Village. We also did a zip wire tour through the canopy at Cape Tribulation where we saw a Bennets Tree Kangaroo! It doesn't get much better than that. The Daintree forest is stunning. It's dizzying in it's sheer diversity. The sound of the forest. The smell of the forest.. all very beautiful. There was a bumpy satinash tree outside cabin with it's fruit on the trunk... caulifery - looks very weird to european eyes! The accomodation isn't brand new. The rainforest takes it toll. We were not bothered by that I know some guests were.

The perfect place to unwind or recuperate. Fantastic day spa, eat delicious food, go on little walk, or kick back and relax. The sounds of the rainforest are turned up at night, so peaceful to listen to all the creatures from your bug-free balcony.
