Travelled here with a friend and her daughter. Great they had a triple room. We only stayed one night but it was very comfortable and clean. Would stay again.
Location was so beautiful so close to nature gorgeous beach. Due to rural area only a few options for food but still good one walkable couple very short drive. We did one night cooking on the campsite bbqs which was lovely. Lots of options for tours too.

Basic cabin, but comfy. Right next to tour office (great tour!). Allowed to use camp kitchen including its fridge.
We had an absolutely amazing stay here! The property is absolutely gorgeous. We booked the snorkelling tour with them as well which was super convenient, the tour its self was wonderful definitely recommend!!
Cabin was a great place to stay and very clean and comfortable
Had a great outlook and was set amongst a great tropical setting
The pool was a great way to relax and cool down at the end of the day
Cute, clean and sustainable accommodation located a short drive from Cape Tribulation. Close to beach and walks as well as cafes and restaurants.
Friendly staff and the Turtle cafe do an amazing and reasonably priced breakfast.
Breath taking …. In an awesome spot of the world
Slept in a wee cabin

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Very rustic property, eco ethos was very evident with signs everywhere about water conservation. Enjoyed my stay, booked onto a snorkelling tour that the lodge also offers which was incredible. My only disappointment was the lodge not having a hairdryer that I could borrow following the snorkelling, maybe something to consider.
Loved our stay in the jungle! Great food at the cafe. Snorkelling the Great Barrier Reef was amazing—make sure you rent a wetsuit to avoid a bad burn! Room was clean & ensuite bathroom was great. Loved sitting out on the little porch in the evenings.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
They should be submitting a refund the staff member said she would. Aircon leaked on the bed - not suitble to then sleep in. Staff were lovely Awiting refund.
This hotel was amazing. Such a cool experience nestled in the middle of the rainforest. It was a beautiful property with lots of activities available close by.
The room was beautiful and clean and the property was gorgeous. Amazing shared amenities and pool.. and a store right across the street for food/drinks etc. and there is a walking path so you can explore the rainforest right out the front door
