Great to experience a night in the rainforest although not for the faint hearted! The sounds at night were a bit scary if you’re not used to it and a large branch or something fell onto our cabin and scared the life out of me! The heavy rain kept me awake most of the night as was very loud! I could not relax for fear of a tree falling but that’s just my anxiety as I’m sure it was quite safe! The showers and toilets were very clean as was the cabin. The pool was lovely to cool off in. The food choice was good but sorry to say the feta pasta and salad far too salty and therefore inedible. The pudding was also far too sugary but lovely! Maybe that’s the way they cook out here , I don’t know, but not to my personal taste. The ice cream place at the end of the road- flora fauna was so nice and an interesting place to visit much nicer than the Daintree ice cream. Owners were nice and friendly. Overall a good experience and I would recommend a night here. Daintree village the other side of the river is a lovely quaint place with lovely views of the river and we did a croc cruise from there and saw the biggest croc ever!

Woke up with sounds of rain forest creatures each morning. Had access to a kitchen and plenty of space in rooms. Only complaint would be super thin walls between rooms as we could hear everything next door.

It is the perfect place for caom.No electricity after 1030pm. in the middle of nowhere. Sleep to the sound of the djungle in totaldarkness.

The setting is truly exceptional. But I barely slept for two of my three nights in Milkwood 1, due to constant noise from guests passing just 1 meter from my head, along my unit, on a gravel path. A quieter room was given on my last night — but I wish this had been addressed sooner

10/10 Exceptional

What a wonderful surprise to stay at this property. The tent style accommodation was a bit confronting at first, but as soon as you lay down and listened to the wildlife outside you soon realised how special Crocodylus is. Getting your bags to your gut was a bit of an effort, but, hey, how much “stuff” do you really need? We enjoyed our two night stay very much and would tell anyone interested to give it a go. Obviously, it’s not a 5 Star Hotel, but does offer something different that not all 5 Star Hotels can/do.

Exactly what we were told :)

Daintree Crocodylus are very clear in what they are and what they are not. We found their advice to be very accurate. Yes, they are "very JUNGLY" and that was great for us. My two kids had a great time and really enjoyed being in the rain forest with all the sounds. We met lots of great people in the communal area. We purchased food and it was great (leaning toward spicy for dinners so you might want to consider that with kids). My wife was impressed with the cleanliness of the toilets and showers. Check-in is casual. You can usually turn up about 12pm and check your room out. Actual formal checkin is at 5pm. I'd recommend exploring more of the Daintree and then arriving later for a swim in their pool. DC give good advice on what you can do. Before crossing the car ferry on the way up, consider doing a crocodile cruise at Daintree Village with Daintree Crocodiule Tours or similar. We did this and it saved an extra car ferry trip ($$). Saw 3 crocs :)

4/10 Fair

El lugar no está mal, pero es muy caro por lo que ofrecen. La cabaña está dividida en 4 partes y se oye absolutamente todo lo que pasa en las demás habitaciones. Además la loneta que hace de pared está agujereda y llena de parches por lo que pasan los insectos. La mosquitera ídem, pueden pasar los insectos, encontramos una gran araña dentro de la cama nada más llegar. Los espacios comunes estan relativamente bien (aunque alguna puerta de la ducha no cierra), como si fuera un pequeño càmping el problema es lo muchíssimo que vale. En mi opiniónnno merece la pena. Nosotros fuimos con la intención de ver animales, y se ven los mismos que puedes ver a primera o última hora del dia en Daintree. En nuestro caso no repetiríamos y pensamos que no hemos usado bien el dinero.

Jungle experience.

Gorgeous setting. Friendly welcome. Tents are solid as they withstood a very windy and rainy night. We didn't mind the limited availability of power. Food was tasty. One minor suggestion to managment - blankets could do with replacement.

Sleeping in the rainforest

Loved the rainforest feel of this place. It rained all night and listening to it hit the roof of our room was very relaxing. Unfortunately someone was smoking outside the room next door and came straight through our room all night.
