Lovely home
We had a great stay at The Folly. Beautiful gardens, private and secluded, and a great location for visiting Cape Tribulation boardwalks. The house was clean and comfortable. The host was very responsive as well!

Daintree Adventure
The place was beautiful and the views from the deck were spectacular. Saw many types of birds and butterflies from the deck. It was a great location for all our day trips to snorkel and explore. Highly recommend this place.
