Cape Tribulation

"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."

"We stayed in Mantra for a week and loved it. A large well decorated apartment with views over the inlet, so close to shops and restaurants, and great facilities for travellers on the go. Equipped kitchen and washing machine were a welcome surprise. It was very peaceful given the central location, and we received a warm welcome on arrival. Unit had a large bed, double sofa bed, kitchen, dining table, large balcony, jacuzzi bath and shower. Parking was provided free in the underground car park....

Top Cow Bay Hotel Reviews

Daintree Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"A great location to stay if you are exploring the Daintree or taking a Daintree River cruise. The ammenities are clean and the pool is superb. The have licenced food vans on site, open daily for breakfast, coffee, dinner or a drink. We stayed in the tents, and they are lockable and are good value for the price you pay. (A few points to note: If you are staying here and need to use the Daintree River ferry, the ferry is $57 return for a standard vehicle. The Daintree ferry is about 10 minutes drive for this accomodation)."
