Nice location that is quiet. Beware that there is no wifi in your room or cable. They have dvd players but the movies they have are old. Some maintenance does need to be completed on the room and some extra cleaning in certain areas that collect dust.
Staying in a cabin in a rainforest is always going to be unique. The cabin was well equipped and spacious. The dining system worked well and our hostess was knowledgeable and helpful. We particularly liked the walk available around the property which was marked out by pink ribbons.
We had a great one night stay. The cabins were thoughtfully set up to ensure a comfortable stay. The cabins were light and airy and really maximised the experience of staying in the rainforest. Also saw a cassowary come feed near the main board walk - the experience was surreal!
There was nothing we didn’t like. Loved the wilderness environment and its quiet seclusion, the Nature Walk and the dining experience. Special thanks to Ann who made every effort to help us sight Cassowaries, and who was a delightful staff member. It was my second time at the lodge and lived up to every memory. Angela and Di.
The location is beautiful amongst the trees. The cabins and public area's are tired and need repair. From a price point the cabins are quite expensive and not well maintained.
We recently spent a night at the Daintree Wilderness Lodge as part of our honeymoon. The location was gorgeous being within the Daintree rainforest, however this also meant it was quite isolated. Despite there being a restaurant onsite with limited menu selections, other dining options were about a 26 minute drive away.
Unfortunately the cabins were in need of a refresh, as they felt quite old and rundown. The cabins had an old and small tv, an aircon which wasn’t adjustable, and the rooms had an overall dark and damp feeling to it.
All staff were really lovely and friendly.
A nice place to stay if you’re after a remote stay in the rainforest, however we didn’t feel it was a good value for money given the high price and condition of the accommodation.
I felt that you don't get value for money!!!
Spa a non event with lack of time availability and no where to sit comfortably around the area and to order anything eg drink from the bar you have to go to reception to ring for service and feel like you are interrupting
no blow-dryer in the room as mentioned in ammenties which was annoying discovering this on the day of checkout when i wanted to ne better presented for the Airport.
I generally felt the whole stay lacked a nice welcoming vibe
The Lodge exceeded our expectation. The individual lodges were very well appointed and tucked away in the forest. When we arrived the staff were very helpful, as they were throughout our four day stay. The meals were varied and imaginative ... well done chef! Diwan is centrally located in the Daintree so the Lodge is a good spot from which to explore. We loved it.
We loved the Daintree Wilderness Lodge's location and charm. Each cabin is surrounded by beautiful fan palms making you feel encapsulated by rainforest. Highly recommend for a true Daintrew experience!
We really enjoyed our stay at the Wilderness Lodge. We really felt a part of the Daintree by staying in our little cabin amongsth the rainforest and being able to watch the cassowaries walk past our door was very special. We will be back.
What a amazing little place.
Great food, lovely host, and on the footstep to the forest
Awesome bathroom view!
We'll be back for sure

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The location surrounded by rainforest is excellent with lots of birds around. Staff were pleasant.
I stayed here years ago when it had been recently built and it was gorgeous. However it's a bit run down now. The airconditioner was on a 2 hour time limit but there was no point even turning it on as it barely worked and the little bit of air coming out was warm. We tried to open some windows instead and a couple nearly fell out of their frames so we couldn't open and close regularly. The room was so hot (even overnight when ambient temperature cooled down a bit and even with the fan going all night on the highest (noisy) speed) that it was really uncomfortable. Also the advertised free WiFi was not available. We were told this was because "the phone lines are down" but we asked other businesses in the area and they said that wasn't the case.
We asked for help with the aircon on the first night but the staff member on duty didn't know how to use it. We also mentioned these problems to the manager when we were leaving and she said she thought the windows had been fixed and didn't seem to understand the problem with the airconditioning.
It was still a nice place to stay but does need some maintenance.
