Plan for rain, its the rainforest. Everything about our stay was amazing, from the breathtaking scenery to the staff, who accommodated our needs perfectly. Reccommend the night walk in the rainforest with Kane, so much beautiful nature in the worlds oldest rainforest. Awe inspiring stuff.
Good location to visit surrounding areas. We stayed in a deluxe cabin and a standard cabin for 2 nights. Comfortable room sizes. Pool could use couple more chairs or loungers for guests to use. Landscaping opportunities around the property to alleviate less mud build-up might want to be considered. Easy check-in, check out. Suggest pack food, or have a set of wheels to get to the few available restaurants.
Cape Tribulation is a very unique and special location. It’s certainly worth exploring and staying the night. The cabin was clean and the ensuite was large and clean. It was ideal having the ensuite because it was raining and although the amenities weren’t far, it wouldn’t have been unpleasant having to leave the comfort of your room to shower or use a toilet. Perhaps the price is up there, but I guess it’s fairly remote. Staff friendly, pub across the road made lovely pizza.
Lovely modern cabins with amenities not far away to walk and right next to the pool. Fair parking for guests but could do with more parking out the front when visiting the restaurant. No freezer in the camp kitchen for ice cream storage, but a large fridge. Toilets and showers could do with an upgrage to match the cabin quality. Not a lot of room around the pool. Great to have an on site cafe serving coffee from 7.30am. great to stay over when you are doing a Reed trip
Travelled here with a friend and her daughter. Great they had a triple room. We only stayed one night but it was very comfortable and clean. Would stay again.

Everything was great but we missed a power outlet in the cabain, understamd the challenges but we still missed it😊
We had an absolutely amazing stay here! The property is absolutely gorgeous. We booked the snorkelling tour with them as well which was super convenient, the tour its self was wonderful definitely recommend!!
Cabin was a great place to stay and very clean and comfortable
Had a great outlook and was set amongst a great tropical setting
The pool was a great way to relax and cool down at the end of the day
Location was so beautiful so close to nature gorgeous beach. Due to rural area only a few options for food but still good one walkable couple very short drive. We did one night cooking on the campsite bbqs which was lovely. Lots of options for tours too.
Cute, clean and sustainable accommodation located a short drive from Cape Tribulation. Close to beach and walks as well as cafes and restaurants.
Friendly staff and the Turtle cafe do an amazing and reasonably priced breakfast.
