Campfire Stories
What our guests say about Daintree Siesta
The place is rustic and unpretentious. We even saw a wild cassowary!
The owner/operators are a really friendly family. We loved our stay and can't recommend it highly enough.
We spent two nights here in a campsite wonderfully surrounded by tall rainforest trees. It was a short walk to the clean conveniences and there was ample hot water.
The second night we dined in the small restaurant overlooking more rainforest. The food was good and very good value.
Powered sites well spaced and surrounded by beautiful Daintree rainforest.
Nice, clean, simple facilities. Has all that you need.
Owners are SO friendly, welcoming and offered lots of local knowledge. Great price. Will be back.
Great hosts. The rooms are cosy and functional. The restaurant has tasty food for reasonable prices and prompt service. The lodge is quiet, has a playground and beautiful nature walks on site.
Very family-friendly and highly recommended, especially with young kids.
The owners a genuinely lovely, easy going people and made us feel very welcome.
Bruno was flexible in changing our booking from camping site to cabin and went above and beyond to help us continue our holiday after a slight caravan issue.
Dinner was great, best chips we have eaten in a long time. Will definitely be back!
The site had full bathroom amenities included as well as a powered site option - all in all great value for money.
Both owners were approachable, personable and helpful, answering any and all of our questions. It was one of the highlight spots of our trip.
