- Bain (10/5): - Great cooking facilities, right across from the beach. Friendly hosts
- Sarita (10/5): - The location was incredible. Right at the beach, surrounded by rainforest.
We stayed in the large bungalow, it was perfect.
We saw loads of fruit bats and loved crossing the ferry to get there.
- Catherine (10/5): - The ‘big bungalow’ is a delightful place to stay. Hosts Jodie and Dean were warm and friendly. They thought of everything to make our stay comfortable. If you like cooking as we do, there is a well equipped kitchen with enough condiments to create a tasty meal, which was much appreciated by us. We had a great time and only wished we had stayed longer! Nothing
- Alistair (10/5): - It was perfectly located opposite the most beautiful beach and has the amenities required for self catering and camping.
- Naomi (9/5): Beautiful stay in the Daintree, we loved it thanks for having us - The location was beautiful, right across the road from the beach and surrounded by the Daintree Rainforest. The Manager who checked us in was so friendly and helpful giving us great tips on where to eat out and where is safe to swim. Was affordable, clean and super comfortable, we were really happy with our stay n/a
- Pascale (10/5): Tellement confortable qu’on ne veut plus partir! - Un bungalow confortable, spacieux, décoré d’œuvres d’art dans un écrin de verdure. Cuisine débordant d’équipement, un hôte disponible, sympathique offrant une foule de conseils pour découvrir la région. Rien à redire c’est parfait!
- AYONN (10/5): ここに泊まれて良かったです、ありがとう! - ロケーションが最高。夜は波の音と鳥や虫の声を聞きながら眠りました。 ない。
- Janet (8/5): Highly recommend, would stay here again. - A beautiful, private cottage with everything you could possibly need. Clean and spacious. A great location and very helpful owners with information on local places to visit.
- Lloyd (10/5): - It was quiet and private Aircon would have been nice that time of year.
- Lara (9/5): -
- Alexandra (10/5): - The hosts were wonderful and very accommodating to ensure my stay went well. They went out of their way to provide extra tips and information needed to prepare well and to see the wildlife in the rainforest. The bungalow was perfect, the bathroom was clean and spacious, and the room was very cute. The cooking facilities were easy to use.
- Luana (10/5): Very peaceful location, run by 2 awesome hosts who took the time to show us what was around and made themselves availabl - Loved how close it was to the beach and everything else in Daintree. The bungalows themselves were perfect for us, the bathroom was surprisingly spacious! Had everything we needed there for a very comfortable, peaceful stay. Nothing we didn’t like! Everything was as described on the stay listing, if anything we were even more pleasantly surprised!
- Adina (10/5): - Amazing!
- Filippos Nikolopoulos (10/5): -
- Konni (10/5): -
- Dariusz (8/5): Fin djungel boende - Nära till stranden Kål svart på natten svår hitta
- Alex (8/5): -
- Christine (10/5): Beautiful beach step away from a perfect budget friendly cabin. - Host is very friendly, quick and accommodating. You walk a few steps to the incredible beach. Enjoy the peace and quiet of nature, and the frogs. Unit is small so difficult to fit bags. I was concerned about not having A/C, but to my surprise, I was not hot at all.
- Petr (10/5): -
- Caroline (9/5): - Fabulous location on Thornton beach with access to incredible rainforest, beaches, nature.
Dean had much useful information on places to visit and experience eg swim holes. You are in the rain forest with all it's beauty.
- Judith (9/5): -
- Linda (10/5): Tolle Tage mit Familie im Regenwald und am Strand - Der große big Bungalow ist wirklich toll. Hat alles was man braucht, großer Wohn- und Essbereich.. Die Besitzer sind wirklich nett und geben alle Infos bereits vorab durch. Traumhaft. Wir waren mit 2 Kids (6 und 10J) dort. Super, schöne Zeit verbracht, inkl. australischem Monopoli, Strandspaziergänge, Regenwald-Tour und Kasuar in Freiheit. Nichts
- Rolf (8/5): Fint sted å oppleve regnskogen på - Likte å høre lydene fra regnskogen og nærhet til strand, selv om man ikke kan bade der Den ligger ikke på stranda men hovedveien gikk mellom, ett stykke til restauranter
- Taryn (7/5): A perfect location for visiting cape Tribulation - Location, quirky, and spacious No air conditioning
- ronen (10/5): -
- Martine (8/5): Eenvoudig, in orde en goed gelegen - De ligging
- G (9/5): Prima locatie, fijne uitvalsbasis, van alle gemakken voorzien. - Ligging vlak bij het strand Geen
- MEW (9/5): - Leuke kleine cabins met een buitenkeuken (BBQ) en een zitje buiten. Ligt mooi centraal.
Host kon niet aanwezig zijn maar had alles perfect voor ons voorbereid. Konden gewoon vinden wat we nodig hadden. Echt een leuke plek die past in de omgeving!
- Nadja (7/5): War nichts für uns - Regenwald ganz nah What you see is what you get. Das ist hier aber nicht ganz richtig. Die Fotos sind mit einem Weitwinkelobjektiv aufgenommen und dadurch wirken die Zimmer größer. Zwei Personen mit Koffer ist kaum machbar. Wir haben unser Gepäck im Auto gelassen.
Es gibt kein fließendes Wasser zum Abwaschen, man muss Wasser holen und in einer Schüssel spülen. Der Ess- und Grillbereich ist nicht sehr einladend.
- van Maarseveen (9/5): heerlijk rustig - Hele leuke locatie, tegenover het strand. Er is niet veel te doen, dus je moet wel zelf eten en drinken meenemen. Bij het huisje was een barbecue beschikbaar. niets
- Richard (8/5): Great private cabins for heavy sleepers - Cabin was very nicely presented I didn’t think it would be an issue for me but traffic noise from the road kept me awake
- Matías (9/5): -
- Fredrik (10/5): - Amazing location very close to the beach. Listening to the ocean and jungle while falling asleep was magical.
- Shachar (7/5): -
- Brennan (10/5): -
- Marita (9/5): - Haus, der Strand vor der Tür, Erreichbarkeit, Wlan Nachts war der Verkehr ein wenig störend.
- rolf (9/5): - sehr grosser bungalow nur wenige minuten vom strand. der einzige minuspunkt ist die schlechte matratze (kingzize bett)
- Emilie (10/5): Stunning location and most adorable bungalows - Such a cute little bungalow with a great little camping kitchen :) the chairs leave a perfect view onto the ocean and it’s just a minute walk to be there! Jodie was super friendly through the phone and left a note as we arrived later in the day. Very comfortable and beautiful decorations - I really felt immersed in the nature, hearing all the birds around!
Would absolutely recommend and stay again :)
- Nadine Buc (10/5): Unfassbar schönes Erlebnis im ältesten Regenwald der Erde zu übernachten - Es war ein fantastisches Erlebnis im Regenwald zu übernachten. Die Geräusche des Regenwaldes. Einfach unglaublich!
Am meisten hat mich der Wahnsinnige Sternenhimmel fasziniert!
Der Bungalow liegt mitten an der Straße, da hier aber nach 17:00h kaum noch ein Auto auf dem Rückweg vom Cape Tribulation Richtung Daintree fährt, war es in der Nacht einfach nur ruhig und herrlich! Die Ausstattung ist einfach gehalten, sauber und Ordentlich, die Wäsche riecht frisch. Wir würden diese Unterkunft bei einem erneuten Besuch definitiv wieder buchen!
- Angus (10/5): Perfect getaway in the middle of the rainforest - Excellent, lowkey property with great access to all of the daintree. Excellent bbq facilities and comfortable bed.
The owners were also communicative and answered all our questions ! nothing, it was great
- Patrick (9/5): -
- Karen (8/5): -
- Hiebl (9/5): - Praktische Ausstattung und tolle Lage
- Sylvie (10/5): Un bungalow dans un coin de paradis - Superbe bungalow propre. Très bien placé devant une plage exceptionnelle. Il ne manque rien réfrigérateur et ustensiles de cuisine. C’est charmant c’est mignon et tous les couples vont adorer ce petit paradis. La nuit on entend les oiseaux. Bon rapport qualité prix. Rien tout est parfait
- Patrick (9/5): Excellent séjour en immersion dans la rainforest - tout rien
- Daniela (10/5): Perfect time out, the nights are incredible dark and if not cloudy you can stay up to watch the sky hole night - All clean nice and equipped with all you need
- Azim (10/5): - The owners were very helpful and informative. The location is amazing. The bungalow was clean, well equipped and comfortable.
- Margot (9/5): - Mitten in der Natur, einfach schön und Meeresrauschen.
Es war alles da was man benötigt und man wurde informiert.
Danke nochmals
- Sue (7/5): Great location. Clean and tidy. - Great location - nice to be so close to the beach and the bush. Tidy and comfortable. Clean place and excellent communication. Loved hearing the birds in the morning. Unfortunately someone's alarm was going off continually from 2am to 3am and then the other people staying across from us left at 6.30am so we didn't get a lot of sleep. Not something that can be changed, just bad circumstances on that night sadly. Not a lot of room to move around and make food but good for a night to sleep.
- Sue (10/5): - Great location, comfortable, clean. Highly recommend.

- LAURENT (10/5): Bungalows très sympas dans la forêt. - Jodie est vraiment très accueillante, elle prend son temps pour bien expliquer les détails concernant l'hébergement et ses alentours. L'endroit est très agréable, immergé dans la forêt à deux pas de la plage et...du restaurant où nous avons eu la chance de pouvoir y manger un excellent fish and chips pour le dîner car nous étions samedi.
On aurait bien aimé y rester plus longtemps pour prendre le temps d'apprécier davantage l'endroit.
Un point utile, les bungalows ne sont qu'à 15/20 minutes en voiture de Cape Tribulation, si on souhaite aller faire une super-chouette sortie PMT.
- Sophie (10/5): Cute little hut - Location was handy for seeing all the spots in the daintree rainforest. The hosts were friendly and provided lots of information on the local area and helped us with our for tyre on our hire car! The property was very clean. N/a
- Jeff (10/5): -
- Lori (10/5): Exceptional - Fabulous stay, would definitely recommend!!!
- david (9/5): Super - Logement très agréable
Emplacement top avec plage en face, facile d accès et restaurant en face très bon.
Rapport qualité prix excellent
- Emily (9/5): Comfortable accommodation in an amazing location - Location was amazing & was directly across the beach. Hearing the waves/ water at night was magical. Only one thing - would be great to have more crockery+cutlery.
- Ludovica Ani (9/5): - Bungalow spazioso e confortevole, comunicazione con i proprietari precisa ed efficace. Posizione centrale all'interno della Daintree Forest, comoda per esplorarla. Il bagno, molto bello, è aperto, nel senso che le finestre hanno solo le zanzariere ma non ci sono vetri o tende; da su un giardino interno e sulla foresta per cui la privacy è assicurata, però è da tenere in conto. Da prevedere inoltre di fare la spesa a Mossman perché non ci sono negozi all'interno del parco se non un piccolo minimarket.
- Sandra (9/5): Beautiful place to stay - The location was amazing, so close to the beach and right across a cute little beach bar. Jungle sounds and waves crashing included! Despite the location in the jungle, the please was super clean and free of any insects/bugs (which I was afraid of). We didn’t meet the staff because we arrived late and had to leave early, but they left a kind little note for us. Some car noises from a street close by, but as we arrived late and left early we didn’t have real problems with it.
- HO SEONG (10/5): 자연과 함께하는 숙소 - 자연을 한껏 느낄 수 있는 매우 자연친화적 숙소
무엇보다 친절한 주인 아저씨
다양하게 있는 주변 관광 명소와 화식조 출몰 장소 등에 대한 주인아저씨의 너무도 친절한 소개 공급되는 물이 빗물 정화인지? 약간 정화가 덜 된듯한 느낌(약한 붉은 색)
- ERIC (7/5): -
- Anne (7/5): Great location to explore the Daintree. - Welcoming informative host. Location was perfect for exploring Daintree and Cape tribulation Bit noisy in the morning with vehicles driving past on the main road

- Kendra (10/5): A lovely and cosy tropical stay in a magical location! - Loved the location and the comfy feeling of just being nestled in the rainforest! Can't think of anything!
- Ruan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Judith (8/5): Wonderful - Didn’t want to leave! - Dean is a wonderful source of information. Directly opposite the beach. Sadly wifi and phone service is very unreliable, but not the fault of the owners whatsoever - it’s just part and parcel of living in Nth Qld.
- Sharon (10/5): Exceptional - Secluded and basic Bed was a bit hard
- Jenny (10/5): Beautiful spot - Nestled in the rainforest across from the beach. Peaceful and pleasant.
- Kathryn (10/5): Exceptional -
- Dot (10/5): Exceptional -
- John (10/5): Fabulous clean cosy affordable bungalow - We enjoyed a terrific four night stay in bungalow 2.
The bungalows are spotlessly clean, cosy and well equipped.
We appreciated the tea/coffee/milk sugar etc and were grateful for the the other thoughtful gifts in the fridge.
Our hosts ensured prior to arrival that we were advised to bring food supplies with us.
The bungalow had everything we needed to prepare meals for ourselves and it was terrific to have our own sheltered bbq outside.
We both enjoyed chilling out on the verandah and having a drink whilst listening to the birds and the sound of the waves from the beach directly across the road.
It made us smile seeing beautiful butterflies (including the vibrant Ulysses butterfly) in the lovely gardens surrounding the property.
The bed was comfy and the bungalow has great ventilation with screened louvre windows and it was nice to have the option of having the ceiling fan as well.
Other thoughtful touches include having a powerful torch, large umbrellas, personal insect repellent if needed (we didn't need it)
Our host Dean was very welcoming and knowledgeable and obviously takes great pride and care of this wonderful accommodation. There was nothing we didn't like about this fab bungalow.
The location in the forest and directly opposite Thornton Beach and Thornton's Cafe was ideal.
Terrific being able to park directly outside our bungalow.
Highly recommend this clean, simple, cosy accommodation in the heart of the rainforest and we were very impressed with the friendly organised host.
- Roberta (10/5): Exceptional -
- Aitanacampillo (10/5): Exceptional -
- Rene’e (10/5): Exceptional -
- Simon (10/5): Dean was helpful and knowledgeable about area and wildlife. Highly recommended and will stay there again - Great location and bungalow perfect
- Bradley (10/5): Clean and relaxing rainforest retreat. - Me and my partner loved our 5 night stay here! The bungalows are located in an excellent area and were very clean when we arrived. The shower was great and the bed was very comfortable. The bungalows have a really nice porch area which we sat on quite a lot! They’re really cosy little places to stay in the rainforest. The owners Dean and Jodie are really friendly and helpful and Dean was very informative on things to do in the area! Definitely recommend!
- Paul (9/5): Superb -
