Great stay

Very happy with the bungalow we had. It was perfect for a couple and we loved being in the rainforest. It was clean and the bed was comfortable. The hosts were also great. Our flight was delayed and we were arriving later than anticiapted but they were able to accommodate a later check in on short notice. Our gps was taking us further than the actual bungalow but there was signage so we found it easily even in the dark. I think the highlight of us staying here was being woken up by a cassowary right by our car.

Exceptional stay at Thornton Beach

Loved my stay at Thornton Beach. Appreciate the hosts getting in touch before my stay to let me know about the check-in process. There are only 2 bungalows so it's nice and peaceful, and so lovely to sleep with the sound of the waves crashing on the beach across the road. There's not much in the area and I drove to Cape Tribulation (roughly 30 minutes) to get dinner. The eco-friendly lodge runs on renewable solar power. There's a bbq outside, and a small lantern to use outside once it gets dark. The hosts were also really helpful in the morning with information about local hikes and activities to do in the area. Thank you, I would love to stay here again!

Holiday Paradise

Very pleasant. Friendly caring host who is willing to help and guide. "Comprehensive care" I would say. Apart from baseline utensils and goods, there are extra: 2 umbrellas already at the front door ready to be used, a torch (in working order - in the bedside table) if need at night, kitchen and dinner table organised as BBQ under cover + trees in front of the bungalow with full kitchen utensils in the plastic tub etc...

Set directly across the road from the beach and cafe, the bungalows have a lovely calmness. No 240 volt power is a blessing and the owners are very generous with their time.

Beautifully done tiny house. Unfortunately it was raining during our stay and we could not take full advantage of the outside seating and cooking/BBQ area. Many nice little touches and attention to detail by the friendly owner. Beach just metres away and a restaurant just across the road. Would not recommend the restaurant!! Not sure about the food but the owner was snappier than the local crocodiles.

Beautiful jungle setting just across the road from Thornton beach. Bungalow was small, but clean and tidy with good outdoor cooking facilities. Camp chairs are umbrellas a nice touch. Wifi problematic, which the owner was trying to resolve. Maybe provide some beach towels for longer stays?

Conveniently located around the Cape Tribulation, and just stone throw away from the pristine Thornton Beach. The cafe is just right across the road. It’s a small and cosy accommodation with a great view of the night stary sky away from the brightly lighted city. Eco friendly place with no air con but the weather is cool and air fresh.

The bungalow was clean but a bit smaller than expected. You could see Thornton Beach from our patio and at night you could hear the calming sounds of the ocean. We did enjoy our stay here.

Perfect beach bungalow

What a beautiful little beach bungalow right in the Daintree rainforest! It was clean, well presented and had absolutely everything we needed. It was wonderful falling asleep to the sound of the wildlife around! I would certainly recommend this for a place to stay
