Daintree Cascades

This place was truly magical. Set in the depths of the Daintree forest, next to a beautiful creek, it was easy to forget the outside world. We were fortunate enough to share the creek with fish and a friendly turtle.

The location was fantastic. The whole place was very clean and well kept.

I liked everything, but I think that it should be advertised that the place doesn’t have enough power to run a hairdryer.

We really enjoyed our stay here, the cabin was perfect and had such a lovely peaceful vibe adding to our Daintree experience. Swimming in the Creek just outside the cabin was also a real highlight of our trip. And the kitchen was so well stocked with everything you could need.

Daintree Cascades is a place i would recommend to anyone who wants to switch off from the world. The cabin was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. The surrounding rainforest and private water hole were stunning. I wish time would have allowed us to stay longer. This place is special.

Please understand this review is for the Cottage only (not the Roundhouse) at Daintree Cascades. To be clear, there are two homes on the property (completely separate). The property is beautiful, with the Cottage set in the rainforest along a creek with easy steps to sit by the creek. Also, the Cottage was extremely clean. We had two issues that we describe below, and it is confusing when you book -- know whether you are booking the Roundhouse or the Cottage as we were not clear.

Our issue is that from the moment we walked in, the Cottage smelled like mildew even though the fans are running constantly. There is no air conditioning, which wasn't needed in August (Australia winter) although we do not know the weather during the rest of the year. The first morning I saw water on the bathroom floor by the toilet and informed the owner later in the day (when we had wifi). She kindly quickly replied to say it was from an issue with the shower and would be replaced this week as they were waiting for a part. She also wanted to allay any concerns that it was not dirty water. I wonder if the mildew smell was from the ongoing leak. The second complaint is that there is no wifi except on the very edge of the porch, although we rarely could pick up the signal. We thought for the price, we should not have had the smell and wifi should be included.

We took the roundhouse and it was superb. Located in a very remote place in the rainforest, it was superb, calm and relaxing. It really has a nice private creek. Having dinner in a terrace surrounded by the forest, even during the rain was magnificent

We did not see any cassowaries.

We absolutely loved our stay at Daintree Cascades. It was a lovely cottage which was very clean and the bed was extremely comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed to make our own dinners. The private cascades were absolutely stunning and refreshing for a swim. The surroundings makes this stay truly unique and an opportunity to switch off from the world to relax and unwind in the rainforest.

Nothing!!!

The location was amazing. Very peaceful and beautiful.

We spent a lot of time outside so it would’ve been nice to have some comfortable outdoor furniture to relax in.
