We thoroughly enjoyed our 3 nights at Matt’s place. Our large room with bathroom and its own porch was great. The communal areas on the front of the home for dinning and relaxing were great for interacting with other guests as was breakfast which included generous platters of tropical fruit, cereals, toast, tea and coffee. The kitchen suitable for cooking meals has a shared fridge freezer. The front terrace was a favourite for a beer in the afternoon warmth watching the sunset. Matt was a great host, really made us feel welcome and had lots of advice in regards where to go and what to see. Thanks for having us.

One of the best places I’ve ever stayed at! We stayed in hibiscus cottage which was lovely. Clean and it was amazing being surrounded by rainforest. We loved having a dip in the creek which is just at the back of the cottage. One of the best features of the cottage was the toilet and bathroom! Gorgeous tiles and lovely and clean with one wall not there so it’s Open to the rainforest but still privacy if you’re shy about the rainforest watching you. No chance of any humans seeing you have a shower so don’t worry. Matt the host was amazing. He gave us great recommendations and truly cared about making our stay enjoyable. The fruit platter at breakfast was delicious! So many different fruits I’d never heard of before and so fresh. Truly an incredible experience. Location is perfect as well to see the daintree rainforest and to go to cape tribulation.

Matt runs one of the coolest B&Bs in the world, and I say that with over 40 countries of travel experience. His story of building this wonderful place, his hospitality to share it with the world, and the natural beauty of the Daintree Rainforest surrounding it all makes for a thoroughly enjoyable jungle stay. The exotic fruit breakfasts and fun recommendations for things to do by Matt (for those who want more than just to luxuriate in his B&B) made the stay a very special experience for my wife and me.

This place is the best place to be. Amazing place- beautiful, peaceful, and surrounded by amazing rainforest scenery and sounds- best 5 days of my 30 day trip to Australia.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at The Epiphyte BnB, and it was truly an exceptional experience. From the moment I arrived, Matt, the host, was incredibly hospitable and made me feel right at home. His warmth and friendliness set the tone for my entire stay. The BnB itself is very comfortable, peaceful, and impeccably clean. The rooms are cozy and well-maintained, providing a perfect retreat after a day of exploring. The serene surroundings add to the charm, making it an ideal place to unwind and relax. One of the highlights of my stay was Matt's invaluable advice on local activities and attractions. He recommended the best places to visit, ensuring I made the most of my trip. His insights were spot on, and I had some amazing experiences thanks to his suggestions. Breakfast at The Epiphyte BnB was a delightful experience. The food was delicious, and it offered a perfect opportunity to meet and hang out with other guests. Sharing stories and getting to know fellow travelers added an extra layer of enjoyment to my stay. If you're looking for a calm and relaxing getaway, I highly recommend The Epiphyte BnB. It truly felt like home, and I can't wait to return. Matt's exceptional hospitality and the welcoming atmosphere make it a standout choice for anyone seeking a memorable and tranquil experience.

My stay at Epiphyte BnB was one of the highlights of my Australian adventure so far. Coming back from an exciting day of jungle exploration to relaxing in a hammock with my favourite book listening to the rain was just the best feeling. The hand-built property is a welcoming and open environment with a focus on green and sustainable-living and is perfectly located for those seeking to explore the rainforest and cape Tribulation. I very much enjoyed having great conversations with the host, Matt - whom is very welcoming and knowledgeable about the area having come to Daintree to build Epiphyte many years ago. Overall, I would highly recommend staying at Epiphyte BnB if you’re looking for the perfect retreat to base yourself whilst exploring the Daintree rainforest.
