Daintree Siesta

The property was much better than it seemed through the photos. It was cosy and clean, with two fans in our twin room that were individually controlled. The room had a bar fridge, cups, and coffee and tea provided. The property also has a short trail system that residents can use, and said to have regular visits from cassowaries and Musk rat kangaroos. There is also a roost for the Spectacled Flying foxes on site. As a bird watcher it was nice to see a few species of doves roosting in the trees around the property. The owners were really friendly and nice when it comes to recommendations and maintaining the property! Though it should be noted that there is limited reception on site for optus, and no reception on telstra network.

Nothing!

Leoni put a positive spin on it but the concrete pool was very uninviting and the property looks like a dump from the front. Off season and owners were away but the grounds were in very poor condition and the cabin although being comfortable was infested with cockroaches and biting inspects - I am still scratching. No microwave in the cabins or camp kitchen despite the restaurant being closed.

Good location

It’s a bit outdated. Pool was murky and run down. We had ants in our room and for the price we paid it was a little unclean . Staff were friendly but don’t expect too much. This is merely a place to rest for the night . Also the air con is small and doesn’t have capacity to cool the whole room down so be aware you won’t feel to cold here .

My husband and I stayed here Nov 2010. This time we were with our sons. The Daintree has been the best part of the trip so far. We had tropical rains all night which was magical. We had a wonderful dinner in the restaurant and enjoyed the ability to make tea and coffee in the room. Having a fridge is a real bonus. We also took advantage of the trails on the property. Thank you for our wonderful stay.

Beautiful setting in the rainforest with walks available and in a good location central to most places in the Daintree. Had dinner at the restaurant one night and the food was good and the drinks reasonably priced. No wifi but Optus had signal. Comfortable beds and good bathroom. Overall a good place.

Grounds still a bit messy from cyclone damage. Not set up for self catering other than cereal and sandwiches so come prepared or eat out. The Eclectus parrot needs a friend to talk to.

Central location Comfortable bed Very good food at restaurant

Crazy unpredictable shower. Poorly equipped kitchen

Best things about the property would be the location. Rooms were basic but comfortable. The hosts were very accommodating, they provide cutlery boxes on loan if you want to eat some of your meals in your room. On-site restaurant was excellent.

Great hospitality, company and a rustic frontier feel. Staff super helpful for things to do and see. Locals also friendly over a drink and a chat.
