Right in the rainforest. This place is a great escape and has its own swimming holes. Restaurant was reasonably priced given its remoteness and with good portion sizes. Room was airy and lots of space to move around.

This was a unique experience. We loved our stay here in the beautiful rainforest! We were so happy that we chose to stay in this location, north of the Daintree River ferry. It was close to all of the key sites in the Cape Tribulation section of Daintree National Park. The staff were wonderfully welcoming. Our cabin was clean and the simple decor seemed perfect for the location in the rainforest. We enjoyed the nice chairs on our front porch and, quite frankly, were pleasantly surprised to find that our unit had air conditioning. The property of the resort is amazingly beautiful, with a stream running through it that has two great swimming holes. They even have a lovely swimming pool on site. The included continental breakfast was very nice. Dinner in the beautiful open air restaurant was fantastic! Staying here was a great finale to our Australian vacation!

My husband and I stayed here for a few nights, you could not get any more in the centre of the rainforest if you tried. This spot was beautiful, the creek / swimming holes that run through the property were absolutely stunning to swim in. The cabin we stayed in needs a little work but was clean and perfect for us. The staff were amazing, restaurant food was pricey but really good, the steak was 10/10! Perfect place to stay if you want to explore the rainforest, cape trib ect. Definitely recommend car hire.

Hidden gem in the heart of the rainforest

Excellent ‘rainforest’ experience. Lodges right on the edge of the rainforest, surrounded by lush plant. Lodges neat, tidy and clean. Cooper’s Creek swimming holes amazing, absolutely natural creek running through thick rainforest on the property with quick, easy access; swimming morning and night in the creek was the highlight of the stay. Dinner delicious, a la carte menu and although not cheap the portions were enormous! Continental breakfast included and tasty. Staff friendly and helpful. Great stay, highly recommend.

Hidden gem

Food was really nice, frendly staff, spacious cabin with comfortable bed, very quiet, nicely hidden in the jungle so no signal or wifi in the room, but they have a large selection of dvds you can use. There is a swimming pool but You can also enjoy a refreshing dip in a natural swimming hole of the creek.

Beautiful rainforest location. We loved the honeymoon suite that we stayed in. The property has its own walking tracks and swimming hole on site. It was lovely to disconnect and spend time in the rainforest. The free continental breakfast was simple and nice. It was great that was included. Would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful location, good rooms and restaurant.

Great location. This was the second time we’ve stayed here. Both times we enjoyed the room, wading in Cooper Creek, and had good meals (breakfast and supper) in the restaurant. The following is not a complaint - but be aware that seed pods continually fall from the overhead canopy and onto the sheet metal roofs of the rooms with a large bang - so expect noise day and night from this (both of our stays were in July so this might be seasonal). Cooper Creek is really the star attraction for this location. Don’t miss going for a wade in the creek!
