Ferntree Rainforest Lodge

“A treat amongst the forest”

We stayed in a Garden Loft for 3 nights. The location is beautiful, the staff were all great and the onsite restaurant served fantastic food. The loft offers tea/coffee facilities and a small fridge. It was clean with comfortable beds and a covered deck outside the room.

We stayed at this hotel for 2 nights as a family of 4. Our Children are 14 and 10. This hotel is set in the middle of the rainforest and is a beautiful setting. The lady on reception is lovely and really helpful. She arranged some trips for us and provided towels to take. We stayed in a lodge with an annex which the kids loved. You are surrounded by wildlife which is amazing and the pool is like a tropical paradise. The restaurant provided an excellent selection of food and the quality was amazing. The owner works really hard and goes above and beyond. If you’re looking for a 5* hotel then this is not for you but if your looking to be at one with nature in the rainforest this is a magical experience. The beach is also a 5 min walk away. Highly recommend the ocean safari snorkelling with is 5 mins away and the night walk to see the creepy crawlies!

“A unique and wonderful stay in the Daintree Rainforest”

I was concerned about what we might find travelling as a family into the rainforest. Reviews were varied, and this is a remote location. I need not have worried - this location and the lodge was perfect for me and my family. It was beautiful and in the depths of the jungle. My only regret was that we did not stay longer. I wondered how we would fill the time, but I did not leave us with nearly long enough to just enjoy the wonderful location. Having said all of that, you need to go with the right expectations - if you are looking for the Hilton you will be disappointed. The location is remote and the amenities are basic. We stayed in a garden loft, which was spacious and great value. It was simply furnished, but had all we needed, and my son (11) took great delight in climbing a ladder to his bed in the eves. There was a fridge and kettle in the room, but no cooking facilities. Leaving any food out of the fridge for longer than about 5 minutes attracted rainforest inhabitants, but keeping everything wiped down and food in a sealed fridge resolved that easily. If you are fussy about coffee (I am), you will want to bring your own makings. Everything worked. As advised by the staff, switching the A/C mode to dry and using the ceiling fan was best for reducing the humidity. The shower was not amazing, but it worked, and in a remote area it fully met my expectations. You cannot swim at Cape Trib beach, but there is no need to because the pool at Ferntree is lovely, and we enjoyed swimming surrounded by the amazing rainforest. The Cassowary restaurant was one of the better places we ate on our holiday, with the locally caught fish being especially good. They were open for breakfast and into the evening, and there are a couple of other places to eat nearby. The staff were amazing, and we are thankful to everyone we met there for sharing their amazing jungle location with us. If we are lucky enough to visit the Daintree again we will stay at Ferntree Rainforest Lodge without hesitation. I highly recommend this amazing and unique place to stay.
