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.

Lovely location in the rainforest. Stayed in a cabin, quite expensive $185 for cabin in a campground without bathroom. Very clean, nice pool. Woman running the place is a bit power obsessed. Witnessed her purposely being difficult and abrasive to people, those i saw didn't pull her up on it so she continues.

Standard accommodation - for reference we stayed in the room with shared bathroom (as the ensuites had booked out) Pros: safari lodge provided towels, shampoo and soap Cons: the cabins were close to one another. Cigarette smell went into our cabin as the occupiers in the cabin next to us were smoking in their verandah. There’s limited sound proofing. We could hear people walking past our cabin in the morning and someone in the cabin next to us coughing at 3am. Obviously can’t be helped but just sound proofing would’ve been ideal. The bin in the women’s shared bathroom was filled to the brim and chunks of hair in the showers.

Great location to bases yourself at Cape Tribulation. This effectively is the end of the 2 wheel drive road. Our King hut was comfortable had a bathroom with shower, air conditioning and a ceiling fan. In a semi private area the porch with outside chairs and table was a nice spot to relax. The shared facilities at the camp were great, good bathrooms, a large kitchen, refrigeration and coin operated washing machines. The on site Cafe offers breakfast and lunch. The camp has a swimming pool and is where the Great Barrier Reef Ocean Safari leaves from. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Beautiful and peaceful location, however the linen was dirty and there were crumbs on the bed. The cushions smell like mildew, the curtains need changing as there were mold on them creating a mildew smell.

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

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.
