We saw a cassowary close up within a few minutes of our check in! The food was very good (limited menu). The staff were very friendly and helpful.

There was nothing we didn’t like. Loved the wilderness environment and its quiet seclusion, the Nature Walk and the dining experience. Special thanks to Ann who made every effort to help us sight Cassowaries, and who was a delightful staff member. It was my second time at the lodge and lived up to every memory. Angela and Di.

Five star location, three star resort
The location is beautiful amongst the trees. The cabins and public area's are tired and need repair. From a price point the cabins are quite expensive and not well maintained.

Secluded rainforest accommodation in need of reno
We recently spent a night at the Daintree Wilderness Lodge as part of our honeymoon. The location was gorgeous being within the Daintree rainforest, however this also meant it was quite isolated. Despite there being a restaurant onsite with limited menu selections, other dining options were about a 26 minute drive away. Unfortunately the cabins were in need of a refresh, as they felt quite old and rundown. The cabins had an old and small tv, an aircon which wasn’t adjustable, and the rooms had an overall dark and damp feeling to it. All staff were really lovely and friendly. A nice place to stay if you’re after a remote stay in the rainforest, however we didn’t feel it was a good value for money given the high price and condition of the accommodation.

4/10 Fair

I felt that you don't get value for money!!! Spa a non event with lack of time availability and no where to sit comfortably around the area and to order anything eg drink from the bar you have to go to reception to ring for service and feel like you are interrupting no blow-dryer in the room as mentioned in ammenties which was annoying discovering this on the day of checkout when i wanted to ne better presented for the Airport. I generally felt the whole stay lacked a nice welcoming vibe

The Lodge exceeded our expectation. The individual lodges were very well appointed and tucked away in the forest. When we arrived the staff were very helpful, as they were throughout our four day stay. The meals were varied and imaginative ... well done chef! Diwan is centrally located in the Daintree so the Lodge is a good spot from which to explore. We loved it.

We loved the Daintree Wilderness Lodge's location and charm. Each cabin is surrounded by beautiful fan palms making you feel encapsulated by rainforest. Highly recommend for a true Daintrew experience!

Very much in the ‘Daintree feeling’ and close to nature. Very basic accommodation which is not a problem at all, just not for the price paid.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Wilderness Lodge. We really felt a part of the Daintree by staying in our little cabin amongsth the rainforest and being able to watch the cassowaries walk past our door was very special. We will be back.

The location surrounded by rainforest is excellent with lots of birds around. Staff were pleasant. I stayed here years ago when it had been recently built and it was gorgeous. However it's a bit run down now. The airconditioner was on a 2 hour time limit but there was no point even turning it on as it barely worked and the little bit of air coming out was warm. We tried to open some windows instead and a couple nearly fell out of their frames so we couldn't open and close regularly. The room was so hot (even overnight when ambient temperature cooled down a bit and even with the fan going all night on the highest (noisy) speed) that it was really uncomfortable. Also the advertised free WiFi was not available. We were told this was because "the phone lines are down" but we asked other businesses in the area and they said that wasn't the case. We asked for help with the aircon on the first night but the staff member on duty didn't know how to use it. We also mentioned these problems to the manager when we were leaving and she said she thought the windows had been fixed and didn't seem to understand the problem with the airconditioning. It was still a nice place to stay but does need some maintenance.

A wonderful stay in the heart of the Daintree ..
Totally enjoyed our 2 night stay in the Daintree Wilderness Lodge .. You really feel like part of the forest as you experience the sights, sounds from the comfort of your cabin. Watching bandicoots forest, hearing birds, bats and insects living the forest life. Great service, friendly knowledgeable hosts and superb location made the lodge a highlight of our northern adventure .. thanks so much!
