Ferntree Rainforest Lodge

This is a nice place in middle of the rain forest. The little restaurant that forms part of the facility is lovely. The pool is nicely embedded in the tropical rain forest. We had a Loft, Garden Area place with a king bed for adults and two single beds for the children. This is where we had an issue. The layout of the Loft is not suitable for children under the age of at least 4 years. The two single beds are in the loft and to get there the kids had to climb a ladder, not a staircase. This was challenging and dangerous, especially if they need to go to the bathroom at night. We could not take the risk and let them sleep in their beds in the loft and they ended up sleeping downstairs in our king bed. Also the rooms and decor was quite dated and would need a refresh, especially the quite noisy air conditioner and sealing fans. Compared to other places with similar facilities the price was on the higher side. While I liked the location of the place and its surroundings in the rain forest it is unlikely I would stay there again due to the loft layout that I do not consider suitable for children. If the king bed would be in the loft and the single beds downstairs then the main issue I have would be resolved.

Very isolated, no internet or phone reception however there are pay phones nearby. Complementary breakfast was an added bonus

Loved the set up of the rooms, like sleeping in a tree house. The rooms could do with a facelift however.

This is an excellent location. Within walking distance to beaches, be aware that you are in tropical Australia and so crocodiles and stringers. The wet tropics rainforest is all around you.

Bathrooms need a major clean to get rid of mould and dirt Needs a major paint touch up Few more power points in room would be good Clean the bat faeces off the paths early in the morning so you don't have to walk through it on way to breakfast Shower needs improving as hot water stops about every three minutes but you are warned of this. It's not close to much you have to drive.

A bit tired but still comfortable for the price. Restaurant food was above expectation. Don't forget there is no mobile access (or limited), no wifi unless you pay and are near the office. No TV, who cares. Parking a bit limited, avoid the bat poo. But everything else was great.

Really awesome accomodation amongst the rainforest. Nice and clean room with great a/c Perfect for family of four. Beautiful pool and close to the beach. Staff could be more customer orientated.

Was disappointed in the Ferntree we arrived and from car park to room exterior the resort is run down the staff where OK and where working with what they have. It reminded me of my trips through Africa and the accommodation there in the unknown places didn’t expect it in OZ Rooms inside where OK beds like cement but some people like them that way Fixtures are from the 70s Restraint we have a police if we stay somewhere we eat there well not hear we tried the first night And 4 times until we got something they had run out of wine even letters The cape itself a exhalent destination and will go again

Fantastic location amongst the rainforest peaceful and relaxing no phone no WiFi serenity

Enjoyable place to stay. Lovely setting. Quiet and relaxing. Lovely gardens. Enjoyed staying in a rainforest environment. Would say here again if in the area.
