Heritage Lodge In the Daintree

Vicki, Denise, and Teo were so helpful and lovely to deal with. The restaurant was another nice surprise, with complimentary continental breakfast and a full lunch and dinner menu. The food was impressive for such a remote lodge. We spent 2 nights in a family cabin and loved it. It was roomy and comfortable, with A/C, a mini fridge, and coffee and water provided. The reception lodge was only a 2-minute walk away, and had free Wi-Fi if you need to reconnect. Otherwise, the rainforest setting is wonderfully tucked away from the world. Definitely a hidden gem.

The room was a little dirty, with a streak of old blood on the bathroom sink. Apart from that, we had a lovely stay and will definitely return. The Daintree rainforest setting is wonderful, the staff were super friendly and accommodating, and a beautiful creek a short walk from the hotel pool made us feel immersed in the surroundings.

We stopped for lunch and a swim while on a tour. I needed to send an urgent message, but had no service, so I asked to use the WiFi I’d spotted. They said it was “guests only,” although we’d just paid them for services. I can’t speak to what it’s like to stay at the hotel, but if this reflects their usual hospitality, I wouldn’t stay there or support the business.

We found the location handy for day trips, and the staff were helpful. The reception area and restaurant have working internet. The cabins are a little old, but they were clean and it didn’t bother us. It was very tranquil, and the swimming holes were a bonus. The restaurant food was a shame, though, bland and not cheap. I’d eat somewhere else.
