A wonderful hotel to connect with nature!”

My husband and I stayed at the Daintree Ecolodge while visiting Australia on our honeymoon. The property is so beautiful and you feel completely immersed in the rainforest. Every single staff member we met was incredibly friendly and helpful, getting to know us and how we were enjoying our stay. We booked a Canopy Bayan and it was beautiful - clean and cozy with great amenities and an awesome outdoor deck to enjoy the sounds of the rainforest. We enjoyed walking around the property and the trail to the waterfall. The chef at the Julaymba Restaurant is so talented - we ate there every night and had such a memorable experience trying new foods that were local to the area. We highly recommend staying at the Daintree Ecolodge and hope to stay here again ourselves in the future!

Beautiful Resort, but...”

Make no mistake, this is a premium property - expensive but worth the money ... mostly. Rooms were clean and well appointed. The manager, Sandy, was outstanding; lovely and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. Our issue was At dinner time. Located where the resort is, dining-in is the obvious choice. But the food was expensive for what was served. The chefs were good (and imaginative), but we felt shortchanged; starter-sized mains for a Sydney-harbour main-course price. As for the sides - $8 for a cup of coconut boiled rice is way over the top. The waiter was essentially unhelpful and indifferent to our concerns. On balance we loved Daintree Ecolodge. Mostly it was excellent! But we felt let down at dinner-time.

A great place to unwind”

We had a wonderful three-day stay at the Daintree Ecolodge. The staff members were very knowledgeable and helpful. The resort itself in the middle of the Daintree National Forest is magical.

Ideally located if you want the sights & sounds of the rainforest!”

This accommodation is located in the suburb of Daintree. 2 mins from the Daintree township (very small), but also located within the edge of the rainforest. You can see and hear the rainforest from your room and is being renovated atm (29/1/20). When you book a lagoon, ask for an upgrade to a canopy room and you may get lucky like we did :) Food is great for breakfast & dinner. We booked the river cruise to see a crocodile, but didn't see any unfortunately. All I would recommend is that a TV would be great in the room, even though the sounds of the rainforest is nice, we would have liked to watch some TV to relax and unwind.

Stunning”

We stayed 2 nights in a canopy room and if you're a nature lover, this is a must do. The room was a good size and very comfortable. There is no wifi or TV but why would you need these in a place like this where you have the rainforest all around you? Windows on all sides with flyscreens so you can have them open allowing the smells and sounds into the room. The terrace was equipped with flyscreens too so you can just have the doors open at all times. This for us was the best way to relax and unwind. The restaurant was stunning. The chef has put together a truly remarkable menu and delivered tasty dishes you would come to expect from a quality Melbourne restaurant. Being only a couple mins drive to the Daintree town, the location is good, but what is best about this its position is the forest. Take yourself for a walk around the grounds and up to the waterfall, just take your bug spray with you. The only downside was the treatments we got in the spa. They were not value for money.

Incredible experience in a unique environment ”

From the moment we arrived to the day we left we had an amazing experience at Daintree eco lodge and spa .. the new canopy lodges were stylishly decorated with amazing views of the rainforest . In fact you become one with the forest . The decks of each lodge are enclosed with wooden Lourves and screens , feeling like you are apart of the rainforest The restaurant was outstanding ; fresh local produce with limited food miles . And the staff were very friendly and efficient .. even providing us with room service when we were too tired to make it to the restaurant . The lodge it self prides itself on the limited footprint it has on the local environment. Breakfast is included and was outstanding ! The staff have a great knowledge of local activities and things to do so don’t hesitate to ask .

Tranquility, relaxation and surrounded by nature”

The Daintree Eco Lodge staff made us feel so very welcome by their relaxed attitudes but also their professionalism. The food was spectacular and was very consistent every time we ate. The tranquility and unfiltered surroundings of the nature was something that really was second to none. If you are looking for all of this and more, look no further than Daintree Eco Lodge. Will definitely return.

Idyllic honeymoon destination ”

Beautiful, secluded and peaceful accommodation in the heart of the Daintree. The location is approximately halfway between Port Douglas and Cape Tribulation, which we found ideal for day trips. The food at the restaurant was absolutely delicious, including the generous breakfast options in the morning. The staff are amazing and will go above and beyond to do anything for you - including hunting at the bottom of a pond to retrieve your husband's missing wedding band! Make sure to leave time for the spa, Cathy is a beautiful soul. The pool area felt a little dated, but that is my only small criticism.

Beautiful setting - wonderful staff”

Beautiful canopy room, loved the small touches - homemade biscutes, handcut soap, daintree tea. Enjoyed sleeping with the room opened up to the rainforest. Loved the restaurant and grounds, and had a nice spa treatment with lovely oils. Only small gripe was the pool amd spa area is dated. And the swimming hole was just a hole, in pretty settings and crisp clear water but something for a plunge in not a swim.

Emphasis is on guest enjoyment in an authentic rainforest setting ”

The weather was very wet but the staff were nothing but sunshine. Lovely setting. Well situated. Unlike the resort we just left where the emphasis was on extracting as many dollars as they could, Ecolodge staff were out to ensure our stay was comfortable and enjoyable. They were all very friendly, professional and very obliging. Despite the weather we had a great stay. Would definitely recommend this accommodation.

Daintree stay”

A very nice place to get away from the hustle of everyday life and a good place to base yourself and experience the relaxing rainforest. The food was excellent and very reasonably priced. Not a lot to do in the immediate vicinity but fairly close to Cape Tribulation that offer a wider range of experiences. Still one of the best places to stay in the Daintree area.

A Bucket List Must!”

This venue is situated in an incredibly serene and one-of-a-kind location in the Daintree Rainforest. It is beyond picturesque. We stayed in a lovely and well appointed Canopy tree house with our teenage daughter. She appreciated the lodge and fine dining. But I would not waste your money on taking younger children to this place. In truth it is a couples retreat, and would be amazing for a romantic getaway. Sadly, the swimming hole was not full enough when we visited. So we had to make do with the pool which is ok, but not of a resort-standard. This place in the tropics, and it is HOT! the humidity is palpable and you will sigh with relief each time you step back into your air conditioned tree house. The bed was sublime, the balcony overlooking the trees was stunning and the bathroom clean and modern. However, the stand out was the food served in the dining room. The small menu is pricy but everything is extremely good. Breakfast is included and also very good.

Luxury in the treetops!”

A relaxing and luxurious stay within the trees of the Daintree. Service was professional and, friendly where nothing was too much trouble! Food options limited however unsure as to whether this is the result of the current health climate. Would however come back in a heart beat!

Great Location - Not Worth The Price”

My girlfriend and I had a recent stay at the Ecolodge. The location is incredible, the staff were great to deal with too and the restaurant food was quality. Considering the price you pay to stay, we were disappointed in the room service (our body wash ran out as it wasn't refilled prior to check in) and the rooms were slightly worn (light fittings not affixed securely and bed sheets ripped). It felt like a 5 star location with a 3 star hotel experience. This being said, I would highly recommend a visit as the Daintree is stunning and this location is close not only to nature but also easily situated between Port Douglas and Cape Tribulation

Amazing ”

Wonderful place with the best view of the daintree rainforest, the Included breakfast is your choice off the menu and includes a fruit platter and dinner is well worth the money!

Natural”

We were a couple and an infant. Very natural location and lovely Canopy tree house. Daily servicing of the room. Lovely balcony with a view of trees and bushes. Waterfall at the place was awesome, only females can shower in it though due to aboriginal culture. Restaurant was very nice, food was delicious but staff could be a bit more pleasant and smiling. It never hurts to smile. No wifi or cellular network (Vodafone) - again it needs to peaceful and natural so makes sense. Daintree Village about 4 km and you can do Crocodile Cruise (cheap) - it was amazing experience. I believe it would be a 5 star experience if you are looking for nature and peace.

A night in Paradise”

It was a beautiful location, very peaceful, great room with spa bath. Loved the Daintree Naturals Products for use in the room. The front desk service was amazing....and they were extremely helpful. Would totally recommend.

Genuine staff make this beautiful lodge the perfect holiday location!”

Love love love this beautifully appointed lodge. The photos are all true! Sweet canopy bayan abutting right into crisp green rainforest. The sounds! The smells! The feels! Our needs and privacy were cared for by the impeccable staff. Generous and tasty hamper delivered to our room on arrival. Explanations and assistance never an issue. Genuine caring staff. Dinner = amazing food and service. And oh the atmosphere! We were so proud of our choice. We loved our stay. 10/10

A very relaxing stay”

The staff are really friendly and helpful. The lounge/ reception area has lots of brochures and guides on what to do around the area . There is wifi in the lounge area but it is limited in the rooms, that was fine was us. The rooms are really clean, modern wooden floor boards, big bed, very spacious and comfortable. Mossie nets for all the windows so you can open them all up if you just want to hear the sounds of the rainforest. Had all the facilities we needed ( hair dryer, coffee, tea , BT speakers, shower products) . There is no TV in the room by the way but that was fine for us as we wanted to go there to unwind and relax. There is also a balcony area separate to the room where you can sit and read books or just listen to the outdoor rainforest with the insects and birds chirping. Really Zen! The dinner there is lovely, decently priced and very delicious. Just make sure you have bug spray for all the mossies and insects. Parking is also availabe.. Highly recommend!!!

Nice rooms and amazing food”

The food we had at the restaurant was some of the best food we have ever had (we travel a lot and eat out at some very nice restaurants all the time). We had a renovated room and it was great. The staff was very personable and attentive to our needs.
