What our guests say

My kids and I enjoyed two beautiful nights here. The room was clean and very comfortable, fully air-conditioned too. The owners were very helpful in providing extra supplies when needed and information about all the places we could explore during our stay.

We really enjoyed the private walking trails, the large lending library of board games, positive, kind and respectful attitude from staff and the food was amazing.

It was fantastic to be in the beautiful rainforest while also being close to other tourist attractions. It was quiet enough to truly enjoy the sounds of the local wildlife which my kids especially enjoyed. We will definitely be coming back here to stay next holidays.

Very cosy and family-friendly rainforest accommodation.

Great hosts. The rooms are cosy and functional with good airconditioning and 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.

Amazing hosts, just the best stay. Nothing was too much trouble, they helped with itinerary, provided valuable information.

Environmentally aware, with wonders around each corner. They have a little library and games to borrow during your stay.

The room felt large, clean, and cool. The parking was convenient, and you can enter the accommodation back n front. The restaurant had a wonderful ambience , great food, and always interesting company. Highly recommended.

Great accommodation in central Daintree location.

Daintree Siesta is in an excellent location next door to the Tea Farm and has private walking trails to explore during our stay. Twice we saw Cassowarries wandering down the road from the resort.

We also enjoyed dinner in their restaurant which were tasty and healthy at very reasonable prices. The owners were great hosts and went out of their way to ensure we enjoyed our stay.

I recently stayed 2 nights at the Daintree Siesta in their rainforest accommodation with my two kids. The location is absolutely wonderful, you are literally in the middle of the rainforest.

The on-site restaurant was excellent, especially the Barramundi. In fact we ate better in the middle of the rainforest than we ate in Cairns!

The owners of the family run business are very nice and provide good customer service and communication. Highly recommend this accommodation and this part of the world for your next vacation

Amazing experience would highly recommended.

Went up with a family of four, we booked two rainforest accommodation rooms, they were very spacious and clean.

It’s a lovely family business. Tamara, Nicolas and Natasha recommended some great tours and helped us plan where to go. Bruno is a great chef we had some lovely dinners at the restaurant.

The location is amazing and has private rainforest walking trails that you can do at night and in the day, the wildlife was surreal. Would highly recommended the visit.
