Stop your Daintree hotel search, just book DWL - you won't regret it! It is a lovely boutique, micro-resort perfectly situated in the Daintree. Cabins/rooms are a stunning oasis. Serene and relaxing (though the critters can be loud at night). There are only eight cabins in total, so the property is always quiet, with very little human traffic roaming about. Staff are fantastic. Sasha seems to run a one-man show with support from a few others in the background. He offered many suggestions for sightseeing and kindly arranged all of my meals. Merci Sasha - bon travail! The tiny whirlpool is perfect for a cool down from the heat and extreme humidity. Food was excellent and great value. They accommodated my vegetarian needs well and a great selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. Formidable StarLink WiFi in the restaurant/lounge area. Mobile reception is very poor, but present in some pockets of the property. Convenient on-site parking. Did not see the hotel Cassowary this visit, maybe next time!

This is a magical property. The cabins are super cute and the bathroom shower was wonderful. The Daintree Rainforest literally surrounds you. The staff was exceptional and did an amazing job. Your ability to see a Cassowary goes up exponentially staying here and doing their nature walk. We saw one on the walk and one that literally walked onto the property near our cabin!

A great splurge

Jason and Lee were very welcoming. We felt right at home. It is a very secluded location with every guest having privacy. There are only 7 rooms and each one has a shower with floor to ceiling glass so you feel like you are showering in the rain forest. They provide a great breakfast and also offer dinner. We had 2 of our dinners there and they were very good.

Lovely stay away from it all

If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle then this is the place for you. It's very peaceful, the only noise you'll hear is the animals of the forest Rooms are lovely and comfortable. Chloe was very attentive and nothing was too much trouble.

Forest Oasis!

Hidden gem in the Daintree, individual cabins immersed in the rainforest. Onsite restaurant serving surprisingly good grub given the remote location! Rooms are spacious, comfortable and clean. Fabulous base from which to explore the Daintree. Great Barrier Reef easily accessible from nearby Cape Tribulation.

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!
