Unique property with canvas sides, outside kitchen and bathroom. Gorgeous hikes to swimming holes and through rainforest to the beach as well as many others.
We had an incredible time at the Daintree Ecolodge! Our family reunited from different parts of the US to visit the Daintree area. The Daintree Ecolodge was a standout experience! Rob was so incredibly helpful as was the rest of the staff.
The rooms were beautiful, nestled right into the forest. What a magical place. The food was amazing. Breakfast was soo good and we also had the dinner during our stay which was a highlight for all of us with a varied and delicious menu. Our family loved this...
We had a great stay. George the owner is very proud of his property and showed us all around his gardens. The rooms were spacious, clean and modern. Very convenient to Daintree Discovery Center. All damage from the December 2023 “extreme rain event” have been repaired. Don’t hesitate to book. You can have breakfast and dinner at the hotel cafe. Otherwise, there are very limited restaurant options, and no markets nearby, so stock up before you get on the ferry, either at Mossman or Port Douglas....
The property is spotless and ideally situated. Manager Paul is incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring our stay is enjoyable. In addition, the villa dog, Bruce, is so lovely and friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed playing with him.
Very friendly and helpful reception staff. Great location, within walking distance of main center and port, yet far enough away to be peaceful. On-site laundry, parking, outdoor kitchen area by pool - all great. Definitely recommend to guests who enjoy genuine hospitality in a low-key environment.
Great property that is small and personable! They seem to have thought of it all as far as things to use at their facility. They have bikes, movies, games, umbrellas, beach chairs, games, towels and so much more. We just weren't there ling enough to us it all. They are also an easy walk to the beach, shopping, and a ton of restaurants.
Excellent stay all around! The owners were extremely friendly and helpful, answering all my questions and helping book tours. The facilities were all clean and comfortable, and it was a perfect place to stay in Port Douglas.
We had a great stay here to wrap up a month of traveling. It was quiet, and great location near shopping, restaurants, and the beach. Robin and Sonya, the hosts, were extremely helpful and all around great! Highly recommend!
This was a beautiful apartment/hotel stay in an incredibly convenient location. The woman who checked us in was so helpful and nice. The laundry was such an amazing addition and very much needed after our trip. I would definitely stay here again.

We appreciated the washer and dryer in the room. We truly loved eating breakfast on the verandah every morning while watching all the birds. The location is very convenient and we walked everywhere in town. Sue, goes above and beyond to make your stay as wonderful as possible. A strong recommend from a family of seasoned...
The place is lovely and very well located, but it is an apartment, not a hotel. We didn't get cleaning service for our three day stay. On the other hand, there is a fully stocked kitchen.
