Guest Reviews

• Shawn (10/5): - Great location; nice resort; beach access
• Melanie (10/5): - Check in was easier, staff very helpful and informative. There were quite a few maintenance issues in our cabin, but they did not impact our stay. Presentation just let it down. We did have lovely afternoon drinks on the beach and I would definitely recommend Cape Trib Beach House.
• Fang-yu (10/5): - Friendly staff, room is clean well maintained. Surrounding is clean as well. Very easy booking and check in process.
• Geoffrey (10/5): - Not having access to the internet, wifi or television made you detox and enjoy the environment. Janine in reception was exceptionally helpful.
• Peter (2/5): - Expedia appears to have booked me into the hotel when it was closed off We had to disrupt the night manager only to find out we had not been allocated a room for the night When a room was finally allocated the manager assumed we only needed one bed when I had specifically ordered a room with 2 beds as I was travelling with my adult daughter My daughter slept partly on the floor and partly upside down on the edge of the bed which made the night difficult when it should not have been The manager confirmed the next day that the bu hole was all to do with Expedia.
• Danielle (8/5): - Pros: Private beach access Quiet property Located in rainforest Fans and air con in room Afternoon drinks on the beach Sunrise on the beach Cons: Pool was freezing Dinner menu was a bit fancy. Would have been nice to have some simpler options.
• Anthea (10/5): - Beautiful location, gorgeous secluded little cabins. Perfect for our little romantic getaway. Staff were fabulous.
• Susan (8/5): - Stayed one night. Location is beautiful, quiet, peaceful, rustic. Beachfront location right in the middle of the rainforest. Loved the restaurant meals - beautifully cooked, served by friendly staff right in the middle of the rainforest and by the pool. Reception staff also friendly & helpful. Room is cabin style with own bathroom and fridge tea/coffee. Cleanliness of our room was unfortunately average at best and room looked far nicer in the resort photos than the one we stayed in. Double bed sagged in the middle, so this was a very uncomfortable nights sleep for us :( [management was advised so hopefully they will do something about that. Our room was Escape 1]. regarding value for $ We stayed elsewhere on our trip and for the same price ($250/night) rented a lovely fully appointed apartment and a beachhouse so our feeling is that the pictured quality of this room was over-promoted/over priced for what we received. having said that, the location is beautiful.
• Lisa (8/5): - .
• Marion (8/5): - Wonderful dinner and breakfast at the restaurant. Best coffee ever!
• DAVID (10/5): - Wonderful wooden cabin in the middle of Daintree forest, reached by a wooden path from reception – luggage trolleys available! We arrived late but the keys were in a lock box with easy instructions. Staff and restaurant food were excellent. Would loved to have stayed longer. We did a night walk and went down to explore the beach in the morning. Beautiful location
• Thomas (10/5): - Fantastic resort for a natural tropical rainforest experience. The restaurant is staffed with friendly people as is the resort itself. A great place for a nofrills getaway where the rainforest meets the beach.
• Roschelle (10/5): - The restaurant is a hidden treasure! The food and service was great and we really enjoyed the board games on offer too.
• Brett (8/5): - Property was great, so close to the beach. Meals we had were average.
• Verified traveler (8/5): Convenient - Most convenient place in Cape Tribulation. Lovely place. Love the beach access. Room was generally good, but the bathroom, namely the shower area, could do with a renovation. Nature sounds are fine, it’s where you are, but the walls are not soundproof: you can hear the people outside. The air-conditioner was noisy too.
• Shawn (10/5): Rainforest Get-away! - We really enjoyed our stay here with great walks on the beach and a relaxing time in the rainforest!
• Suzanne (10/5): - The property was beautiful
• Sarah (10/5): - Great service and amazing location.
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Amazing family friendly environment. Our lodge is clean and facilities are clean and modern. A great place to unwind and relax.
• Laura (10/5): - Staff so helpful,especially dean who helped us with our luggage. Lovely relaxed atmosphere with no disruptions of Wi-Fi etc. total bliss.
• Tracy (10/5): - Staff are great the check in person was fantastic A big shout out to Jess in the restaurant her customer service is wonderful .. thankyou for your kindness :-)
• Nicole (10/5): - Friendly staff, so helpful. The restaurant was brilliant, and menu great. Accomodation perfect with comfortable beds, walks in the area, I definitely recommend to stay here.
• Janishka (4/5): - Very tiny rooms and no space. Bed linnen were dirty.
• James (10/5): - Lovely area, friendly staff, peaceful and the food was better than we had expected. Highly recommend
• Andrew (10/5): - Unique place to stay in the rainforest.
• Michael (10/5): First trip to Australia - 5 of us. Stayed in a room for 6. We were comfortable. No tv, cell service or wifi but that allowed us to enjoy the rainforest. The staff was friendly. Highly recommend the rainforest night walk nearby. Would highly recommend Cape Trib beach house.
• James (10/5): - It rained as hard as it could rain. It's a rain forest. It's the rainy season. It rained. Glorious! Great place, good food. Hip.
• Beth and Bob (10/5): Fabulous cape tribulation! - The beach,pool ,view and food was amazing!
• Verified traveler (4/5): An awful stay - We were not able to enjoy our 2 night stay and left after the first night. This is partly down to the weather with torrential rain adding to the humidity. The A/C in the room just could not get the room cool enough and our entire suitcase eof clothes ended up damp. We were not able to get a good night's sleep and opted to abandon our stay. The receptionist had little interest in our plight and no concern for our early departure or offer to change our room for one with better A/c. We may have been unlucky with the weather but I would still give this lodge a miss as they are disinterested in their guests. In our 60 day trip round Aus /NZ this was sadly our worst stay.
• Colleen (10/5): - Convenient to other attractions, close to beach, dinning options, helpful staff, accommodation great
• Tanya (10/5): - Fantastic dinners!! Right on cape Trib beach! Awesome chilling in the pool after a hot day!
• Alice Catherine (10/5): - Beautiful & tranquil
• Michael (6/5): - An interesting experience but one night is enough. This is well located at the start of the wilderness area but there is very little to see and do for someone like me who spent 20 years on the beach and in the jungle in Malaysia. The place is small and basic but clean and the food at the restaurant is quite good. It is just about value for money. One complaint is that the admin/ mgmnt did not reply to questions I had earler asked about the road condition and likelihood of a long wait at the ferry........ both of which turned out to be OK.
• eloise (10/5): - Stunning rainforest and beach
• fiona (10/5): - The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The beach was beautiful.
• Rishav (6/5): - Food was very expensive and not that great considering the price.
• Lesley (6/5): - Property was very clean but much smaller than expected. No chair or table in the room. Parking is not possible right beside your cabin so, although it wasn’t too far, it was a bit of a struggle with all my luggage pushing it downhill on arrival and uphill when leaving in the cart provided. Great to have the private beach so close. Staff in the restaurant were outstanding.
• Tamara (8/5): - The kids loved the swimming pool and exploring the rainforest
• Clare (8/5): - Huts nestled into lush rainforest, Cape Tribulation Beach House is a real escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. You are forced to disconnect from everything as there is no Wifi or even television. The restaurant serves a good variety of reasonably priced food and the pool is a refreshing dip under a green canopy. Pack earplugs though as the adjoining rooms can be a bit noisy.
• Stevan (10/5): - This is a fabulous property in a fabulous location. Its amazingly nice. The restaurant is very good, all meals were excellent, service great and it was great value. Given its remoteness and how expensive it must be to run an establishment here, we found everything to be surprisingly affordable.
• john (10/5): - Awesome place
• Jonathan (6/5): - Great location. Easy beach & dining access. Unfortunately rrom is small & tired - needs an upgrade. (Cracked sink, shower water ended up all over the bathroom, insufficiend space for clothes & bags
• Sally (8/5): - Just need to warn people of the walk from the car park to the restaurant. But overall we had a wonderful three nights. Bed was amazing and was very peaceful
• Liam (6/5): - School camp vibes but location is absolutely perfect! In amoungst the rainforest , and super quiet , great place for a few nights rest
• Louise (10/5): - Such a great spot on the beach and staying in the Rainforest. I would highly recommend
• David (10/5): - Very peaceful location and surrounds and everything is within a short drive. Rooms are basic but neat and functional. The shower door was in need of some maintenance but other than that no complaints. Loved the shared deck and having a drink poolside. Drove all over the place looking for cassowaries and ended up seeing a dad and young one 10m from our front door. Great holiday.
• Basar (6/5): Check sheets when you check in - I booked this place for our family for a single night so wasn’t fussy about it. The location is great as you’re in the nature with lots of wild life, we saw pigs, cassowaries and other wild life. The accommodation is basic so don’t expect much. One of the beds in our room didn’t have the bed sheets changed as they had sand / hair on them from a previous guest. I hope this was a mistake.
• Levi (8/5): - Perfect getaway. No distractions as no network nor internet. Peace and quiet. Lovely and friendly staffs too!
• Gary (8/5): - Short walk to cabins, I countered wild Cassowary with baby at drive in. Worth the journey.
• christine (10/5): - What a great place to stay. ......the perfect, quiet getaway.
• Siubhan (8/5): - Incredible location!
• melanie (10/5): - Beautiful unique and natural
• Bruce (10/5): - Our stay was just perfect, the rooms were fairly basic as expected but clean and welcoming (the queen bed was super comfortable). We ran out of coffee and toilet paper but its only a short trip to reception/bar to put everything right. The resort is perfectly located, surrounded by rainforest and beach. The food and service at the bar/restaurant was superb.
• Sandra (10/5): - Beach access
• Marianne (8/5): - A nice quiet retreat next to a beautiful beach and surrounded with amazing rainforest. Staff were very helpful and friendly. The accommodation was very small and basic for the price but luckily the surroundings made up for it.
• Nicholas (10/5): Great stay and food - Great room. Depending on what room you have it could get a little noisy if you have noisy neighbors since some have 3~4 rooms sharing walls. The Tide Resturants is amazing one of the best food we have had. We got the special, crispy salmon and chefs bowl with barramundi. So good so we had it again the next night. Non of the other Resturants open for dinner looked that great.
• Jacqueline (8/5): - Enjoyed our stay. Easy beach access and a wonderful restaurant. Food was excellent. Great chef and lovely service from the staff.
• Karen (8/5): - Excellent check in service after hours. Good plans and key retrieval. No towels in room on arrival. Took a bit of pressure on restaurant staff to rectify this, but then service exceptional. Food very good at the restaurant! Superb location. Would have stayed a second night but the beds were not good!
• Dwayne (10/5): - Unique setting in a wonderful location. The restaurant exceeded our expectations.
• Karyn (8/5): - I loved the quietess of the property, the room was clean, bed so comfortable, loved the shutters that blocked out the light. Access into the pool was poor for older visitors
• Kate (6/5): - Lovely area to stay. Lovely staff - especially at the restaurant. Shame the bathroom was not very clean with mould in the shower. A little run down and not clear in the description of the property that they do have tea and coffee making facility in the room. Would recommend the breakfasts starting earlier or 7am instead of 8am, but overall a very lovely place to stay.
• Louise (6/5): - Beautiful surroundings, rooms were adequate, restaurant and bar had lovely atmosphere
• Roger (10/5): - Absolute magic! Nothing at all that didn’t disappoint us. Only stayed 1 night. Wish it had been longer. Put it on your bucket list people, you won’t disappointed. The peace and Quiet was amazing! All the staff and food was GREAT.
• Timothy (10/5): - Staying here in the rainforest was amazing. It is so beautiful. The beach is beautiful at low tide, and you feel like you are the only people in the world. The management was not good at communication, however, and left many requests for late check in unanswered. I'd stay here again in a heartbeat, and wish I had more time to explore this trip.
• David (8/5): - Would recommend having a water jug or water bottles in the room. Otherwise great location and pleasant stay.
• Myra (8/5): - Room was small , instead of extra bed , a table and 2 chairs inside would have been better as it was raining, other than that ,bed was comfy & surroundings were awesome
• Peter (10/5): Paradise in the Daintree - This place is serene and allows you to get away from all the distractions of the city. No TV No internet... perfect for environment to revive the art of conversation especially with loved ones. Rooms were clean and the facilities were very good. Staff were always friendly and courteous. Unfortunately to have air con and lighting they have to run a diesel generator in this area of the world. At least it was very quiet.
• Diane (10/5): - I like the privacy of having 2 rooms sharing a balcony. The hotel is very well kept. The short walk to the beach is great to see sun rise. The onsite restaurant have variety of options and good food.
• Jim (10/5): - Awesome old growth rainforest on the beach. Comfortable beds, good food. Thankyou.
• sam (10/5): - Very simple but beautiful accomodation set in a stunning location. The restaurant was fabulous and reasonably priced. Some of the staff were new but very nice and accomodating. Be careful on the beach, we saw a 3-4m croc sunbaking on the rocks near the property. That was enough excitment for that day!
• Carol (10/5): - Loved the restaurant! Great food and friendly staff.
• Charlie (10/5): - To service staff and chiefs, the rooms are spacious with AC and fan. An area where WiFi is available would be good as I was trying to arrange a mechanic further south, But I suppose that is part of the charm no WiFi, no TV. That being said as you had to read better bed lights would have helped.
• Lucinda (10/5): - I liked the cars being remote and the view from the verandah
• George (2/5): - This was a terrible experience we stayed at the most expensive cabin they had and it was dreadful very small cabin with ancient small bathroom with dirty grouting almost no where to hang the towels the mattress is in bad it need of replacing by 11.00 pm we had to get out of bed as both of our backs became sore. The room had no chairs to sit on they had them on the patio to keep company with the numerous spiders let’s not mention the kettle the interior was absolutely filthy even if we wanted to make coffee they only had three satchels but we could not take a risk with it. Now for the goos staff NO Television NO Internet of any sort NO connection to Mobile phone when one kilometre down the road you got it all So what do you do after dark well nothing as the tide in all the way up thus making walking on the sand impossible It’s a lovely location and it can be pleasant but they need to knock it all down and start all over again to pay just under $340 p.n and get this, unacceptable
• Karen (8/5): - Cute, modern cabins nesteldin the rain froest and right next to beach. Has restaurant. Is about 2 km past 'town', but paved road right to entrance. There no cell phone or wifi here.
• Nicola (10/5): - This is a wonderful, very unique place to stay right in the middle of the Daintree Forest with so many birds in the trees etc it is a fantastic experience and one we will never forget.
• Luke (10/5): - I love how it's nestled amongst and has low impact on the surrounding rainforest. Our villa was located very close to the pool area, restaurant and beach!
• Joanne (10/5): - Staff were lovely, so friendly. The restaurant meal was nice and so relaxing
• Glen (10/5): - We were able to check in 1hour earlier and the girls at reception are helpful . Talked about local rates and being up from cairns. Rooms were clean and tidy. Staff and food at the dining was fab too
• Mona (10/5): - No network or internet around the site, made me stay away computer and phone. Only the entry is a bit hard to find
• Christie (10/5): - Great accommodation, clean, good restaurant and close to everything.
• Sonja (10/5): - Loved that it was right in the jungle, quiet, peaceful, natural. The basic accommodation was perfect for the setting and the staff were very accommodating to some hiccups we had.
• Caroline (10/5): Rainforest getaway - Perfect getaway - a rainforest retreat that is right on the beach. Friendly staff, clean rooms, great on site restaurant. Not really walkable to Cape Tribulation township but only a short drive. Would highly recommend for a relaxing stay and a great base to explore the Daintree
• Susan (8/5): - Rainforest setting
• Sally (10/5): - This is the most wonderful property. The eco cabins are basic but very clean and comfortable and at one with nature. The setting is just stunning amongst gorgeous rain forest with private beach access where you can watch fish and stingrays frolic. Cassowaries, goannas and many other creatures are around. And the pool is beautiful. The dining area is great with excellent food and drink options. The staff are friendly and helpful. Highly recommend if you want to have a real jungle experience in comfort.
• Karen (10/5): - What a beautiful part of Australia. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the middle of the rainforest. The scenery is wonderful (even saw a cassowary and babies). Every meal we had was delicious (great chef). I would highly recommend staying at this property.
• Lloyd (10/5): - We arrived to such a warm welcome from Janine on the front desk. The property is located in such an idyllic spot too. Cannot recommend a stay here highly enough.
• John (10/5): - Food was fantastic
• Verified traveler (10/5): A gem in the rainforest - Amazing spot and extremely clean considering it's located in the middle of rainforest. The restaurant food was really delicious and the price really fair!
• Trinh (10/5): - Wonderful spot away from it all. No cooking facilities but the Tides restaurant has some good food selections
• Elzette (10/5): - Love the quite and waking. Up to the sounds of the birds in the morning. Wish we stayed longer
• Maria (10/5): - We really enjoyed our stay. Make sure you take snacks and food you can prepare that only requires refrigerator. Rooms only have a fridge and kettle. No microwave. There are shops but very expensive for food and the property restaurant is quite expensive for meals. Breathtaking experience and highly recommended.
• John (10/5): - Great spot. Right on the beach, clean and modern cabins. There's little tables right on the beach to sit and enjoy the stunning views, where rainforest meets the sea. Restaurant food was great. Very happy with our stay.
• Natalie (10/5): - Absolutely loved our stay.. we are a family of four with two little kids :) the pool is right next to the restaurant (which has AMAZING food) so the kids could swim & we could easily watch them and enjoy our meal which was served by really lovely hospitality staff… even had a chat to the chef! The manager is a wonderful and warm host with great recommendations and always there for a chat! The venue is close to everything you need but far enough away that it’s super quiet (as in you can’t hear other humans… the rainforest is all you hear!)
• Guido (4/5): - Very nice location close to beach Small choice on lunch and dinner menu
• Elisabeth (10/5): - Great stay thank you
• Ross (10/5): - A beautiful and peaceful property situated in the middle of the rainforest right by the beach.
• Tam (10/5): - Amazing property off-grid and the most comfortable bed ever!! Restaurant & pool area located right near beach, beautiful way to watch the sun come up!
• Colleen (10/5): - So lucky to enjoy the peaceful atmosphere due to border lockdowns Great to step out on a deserted beach
• Verified traveler (10/5): - Beautiful location.nice room basic but has everything you need coffee tea sugar kettle fridge.nice bathroom lovely white fresh towels soap shampoo conditioner.lovey white new bed sheets .out door small table two chairs.lovely restaurant nice meals .friendly young girl .would recommend this accommodation beautiful location.😀
