The cabin does not have air conditioning, which was not clearly mentioned in the listing. Please be aware that the ceiling fan alone was not sufficient, and the cabin was too hot to sleep in. Upon entering the room, we found a lizard on the bed, and when we raised the issue, we were simply told that it’s a remote area and to “deal with it.” The screen door has large holes, allowing many small insects inside. Closing the glass door behind the screen door is not an option, as it turns the room into an oven. So, you’re left choosing between insect bites or overheating. I have previously stayed at PK’s, Crocodylus, and even camped in their campgrounds, but I have never had to deal with lizards on the bed or excessive insect bites like this.

$155 King Cabin for a cockroach to crawl across my face in the middle of the night and NO WIFI - tried to connect to purchase and was still unsuccessful. Told the staff about the roach and was told “it is the rainforest” - I understand it’s the rainforest but I’m not camping. I’m paying for a cabin. I expect it to be clean. Big money grab. I’d recommend you stay anywhere else.

Everything was fine. The best thing was the kitchen and the surrounding nature.

I booked a King Cabin with ensuite. The room was immaculate, lovely and cool! The setting is absolutely stunning, set in the Daintree Rainforest. It was so beautiful waking up to only bird sounds each morning. It is a quiet and tranquil place, lovely pool and every single staff member I spoke to were an absolute delight. This is the place to stay whilst in Cape Tribulation. I also did the Turtle Tripper Tour with Ocean Safari and this blew my socks off! Brook and Raz delivered such a fun packed day out on Mackay Reef and Sand Cay.
Response from Property: Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your stay in the King Cabin and found the Daintree Rainforest setting so stunning and tranquil! Waking up to the sounds of nature is truly magical! We are stoked you had such a great time on the Ocean Safari tour with Brooke and Raz! They certainly know how to make a day out on the reef memorable. We appreciate your kind words about our team and can’t wait to welcome you back for more incredible adventures in Cape Tribulation! Team Safari Lodge

Absolutely amazing! The campgrounds are just the perfect size overall, leaving everyone with some privacy and space. Bathrooms, toilets and camp kitchen amazingly clean and the pool area a perfect place to relax after a day of adventure. Perfect location with no need to drive to the shop or pub and Cafe on site for early morning coffee. We absolutely loved our stay!

I loved the cottages, so comfortable serene in the rainforest. I could not get enough of the sounds of the rainforest the birds the bugs the rain. Having a kitchen was so handy for a solo as well as a for a couple. I was traveling alone and appreciated eating in by myself and arranging my own meals, especially dinner. The only thing i can success to improve the experience, is the bed having coasters to stop it from rolling so easily. I look forward to staying here again.

I stayed in one of the en suite cabins in the campsite. It was very comfortable and very well laid out with a good sized bathroom. It had air-con and a ceiling fan and fridge. The shower was great and the bed comfy. Great to hear all the noises from the forest. Staff were super friendly and efficient. You can make your own meals at the communal kitchens or there is a great café at the entrance. Parking just outside the cabin. A really great experience.

The staff was very friendly and I even got a better room. Location and the views are lovely between the trees in the middle of the rain forest and next to some hiking opportunities. It was raining the whole day but I could borrow a free umbrella during my stay. Parking was included right next to my bungalow. Camp kitchen looked pretty nice but I didn’t used it. Pool was very clean. Maybe not the best spot for solo travelers but I would still recommend it.

I didnt want to write this review but they kept sending me the request to write so here you go.. booked through trip.com for a cabin for one night stay and upon arrival noticed there was a lizard sleeping in the bed and no air conditioning and lot of insects in the room as the security door had bigger vents so the small insects can easily passthrough ..when complained through trip.com was deal with it..we wrote in amenities electric fan..no where it was written no air conditioning and wanted extra for air conditioning cabin and we are in remote location deal with the lizard and insects..I would have opted to camp if I need to deal with lizards and insects..I have stayed and camped in near by properties and cheaper than this place and still had air-conditioning and didnt have to deal with insects and lizards inside the room... the room was too hot to close the glass sliding door..and have to keep only the security door which is made of mesh..closed so either deal with insects or cooked alive inside the room...I shouldn't have to have law degree to book a stupid room...
Response from Property: Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We appreciate your perspective, and we're sorry to hear that your experience didn't meet your expectations. As a valued Safari Squad member, your comfort and satisfaction are important to us. It's unfortunate that there was some confusion regarding the room amenities and the presence of the lizard, which we believe to have been a gecko. We do our best to communicate what each room offers in all of our listings, and our office team are always here to help with any concerns or room upgrades. Upon receiving a call from your booking agent, who confirmed the room type booked was a fan-only room, we advised that should you wish to upgrade to an air-conditioned room, there would be an additional fee. We indicated we could accommodate the request if you came to the office to make the arrangements and swap keys. It was our understanding that this information was provided to you, and you chose to remain in the booked room. We value your feedback, and hope that you otherwise enjoyed your time where the rainforest meets the reef! Team Safari Lodge

We had a nice stay at Safari lodge. We only stayed one night as the Reef excursions were unfortunately fully booked on our dates. It was very nice to see the beautiful blue butterflies flying around from our balcony. The kitchen was fully equipped, definitely more then we expected only based on the pictures. The shared bathrooms were kept clean. We would recommend.
