Exactly what we were told :)
Daintree Crocodylus are very clear in what they are and what they are not. We found their advice to be very accurate. Yes, they are "very JUNGLY" and that was great for us. My two kids had a great time and really enjoyed being in the rain forest with all the sounds. We met lots of great people in the communal area. We purchased food and it was great (leaning toward spicy for dinners so you might want to consider that with kids). My wife was impressed with the cleanliness of the toilets and showers. Check-in is casual. You can usually turn up about 12pm and check your room out. Actual formal checkin is at 5pm. I'd recommend exploring more of the Daintree and then arriving later for a swim in their pool. DC give good advice on what you can do. Before crossing the car ferry on the way up, consider doing a crocodile cruise at Daintree Village with Daintree Crocodiule Tours or similar. We did this and it saved an extra car ferry trip ($$). Saw 3 crocs :)

What a wonderful surprise to stay at this property. The tent style accommodation was a bit confronting at first, but as soon as you lay down and listened to the wildlife outside you soon realised how special Crocodylus is. Getting your bags to your gut was a bit of an effort, but, hey, how much “stuff” do you really need? We enjoyed our two night stay very much and would tell anyone interested to give it a go. Obviously, it’s not a 5 Star Hotel, but does offer something different that not all 5 Star Hotels can/do.

Jungle experience.
Gorgeous setting. Friendly welcome. Tents are solid as they withstood a very windy and rainy night. We didn't mind the limited availability of power. Food was tasty. One minor suggestion to managment - blankets could do with replacement.

Sleeping in the rainforest
Loved the rainforest feel of this place. It rained all night and listening to it hit the roof of our room was very relaxing. Unfortunately someone was smoking outside the room next door and came straight through our room all night.

Liked it’s isolation and minimalist approach. Simple but comfortable. No TV and limited electronic media devices. No a/c - just a fan. Jungle walk was a highlight.

Camping in the Daintree
I'll be honest and say I didn't read reviews of Crocodylus before we stayed. I saw a tent with a bathroom and I was in. Great communication from Sally prior to our stay regarding things to do and we booked the night walk. It's quite an experience staying here. The noise from the arguing scrub fowls is incredible. Bring earplugs! Power on at 7am for a few hours, back on at 5pm and off again at 10:30pm. If you are out and about after 10:30 make sure you have a torch. It's very, very dark as my partner found out... Follow the rules and do not leave food of any kind in your huts. We had a couple of clip lock bags with meds in them. A Menomys got into one that had been left open and had a chew on some blood thinning tablets! We got a picture of it still in the bag but let it out unharmed after it's photo op. The double bed is really small when you're used to a bigger bed. Maybe as they come up for replacement put queen beds in some of the cabins? Sally is a great cook!! Sally's dinners and breakfasts were excellent. Steve makes a mean coffee. Beer and cider was very reasonably priced. We didn't use the pool but it was clean and virtually leaf free, amazing considering the trees that surround it. Bring a pack of cards with you and either headlamps or a battery lamp to use in your hut after power off. If we return to the Daintree I'm pretty sure we'll stay another couple of nights at Crocodylus.

Fantastic spot in Heart of the rainforest
Basic accommodation in a superb setting. If you don’t come expecting luxury and want a real slice of living amid the rainforest then you’ll love it. Super Friendly welcome. Good quality, excellent value meals if you decide not to cook in the well set-up communal kitchen . The night walk is well worth it

Very nice stay near Daintree NP
If you are looking for a rainforest experience to watch birds, look no further. The location is great - a trail starts from your room. An added plus is a large self-service kitchen complete with everything you need to prepare your meals and a large outside dining area. Nice vibe to the place. We stayed in one of the safari tents, very thin walls requiring consideration of your neighbors! Overall, a great experience and a good chance to see cassowary.

6/10 Good

Amazing experience sleeping out with the sounds of the rainforest, but still having the protection of canvas walls, roof and mosquito nets. I would definitely not call this glamping and found my cabin a little overpriced for two basic, unmade single beds with not a hook or table to rest anything on. I would've been just as happy on a camp stretcher in a lightweight sleeping bag, which I would pay half the price for. The food was also a little overpriced for few options and how basic it is. But there are not alot of other places to eat so good to have something available - though it is also just for an hour or two twice a day.
