Daintree Wilderness Lodge An eco accredited off-grid lodge with a private restaurant, nestled in the heart of the Daintree Rainforest.🌿

Nestled deep within World Heritage Listed Rainforest, Daintree Wilderness Lodge offers guests the true rainforest experience and is unique to the various Daintree Accommodation options in the area. We believe we offer guests the true rainforest accommodation experience with cabins set deep within the rainforests of the Daintree. Guests are able to escape into a world far removed from their own and enjoy the diversity and unique adaptations of the rainforest. Being one of Australia's best kept secrets and regarded as one of the top Daintree Accommodation options by many visitors. Located just 14km north of the Daintree River and 30 minutes from Cape Tribulation, Daintree Wilderness Lodge is centrally located to Great Barrier Reef Cruises, Rainforest Walks and Cruises on the Daintree River. We believe, you have only truly experienced the rainforest in Australia, once you have crossed the Daintree River and seen the Daintree National Park.

Where the rainforest runs straight into the reef.
The Daintree is one of the few places on earth where two World Heritage areas sit side by side, and the Lodge is between them. Rainforest at your door, the Great Barrier Reef twenty minutes down the road.

Something is always flowering somewhere in the Daintree.
Spring brings new growth through the understorey, and plenty of it sits right at eye level if you know to look. Guests often come back from the nature walk with a photo of something they can't name. Most of the time we have to look it up too.

Three nights, and a note that stayed with us.
Lucrezia wrote about the sounds, the birds, and the feeling of being genuinely close to nature. She also noticed the part we care most about, the effort that goes into protecting the forest we sit in.

Our nature walk is self-guided, unpaved and runs through forest that has been left exactly as it is.
No signs every ten metres, no crowds. Just the sound of the rainforest and whatever you happen to notice along the way.

How would you spend a day in the Daintree Rainforest?

Some guests are snorkelling the reef, zip lining through the canopy or horse riding along the beach by mid-morning. Others take the boardwalk into the forest and don't plan much else.

Either way, the day ends at our guest-only restaurant and bar, with dinner under the rainforest canopy.

Southern cassowary, still growing into its colours. 💚
The young ones stay with their father for a year or more before they go off on their own, which is why you will often see two moving through the forest together up here.

They cross the road at Diwan without looking. Slow down for them.

Keeping things simple is one of the parts we have.

Look up often enough and the forest starts handing things over.
The Daintree supports an extraordinary density of birdlife for its size, and a good portion of it is found nowhere else on earth. Most of the sightings guests talk about afterwards happen from a deck chair, not a hide.
Sit still. Give it ten minutes.
