For three couples our accommodation at Wait a While was really very enjoyable. The house is very large and had enough room for us all to spend time doing our own various activities i.e. swimming in the lovely pool, sitting out on the large deck, lying in the hammock, playing pool in the living room etc. It is situated in...

My family & I stayed in the Daintree at the Wait A While Retreat, The house was everything we had hoped for and much more, it’s huge. The sounds at night were not of a ghost as stated by someone but of wildlife that surrounds the forest. It was amazing and we even saw a cassowary walk through the property.... More

Nine of us had the most fantastic five days at Wait a While in the Daintree. We all took part in canopy surfing, fruit tasting, a reef trip, a croc tour and a night tour of the rain forest (which was a highlight for us). Kerry, one of the managers, organised everything for us and made the trip just so... More

This house was amazingly beautiful. Isolated and dark though. The entire family sensed that there was a ghost who lurked around the deck though, we heard sounds and saw a white figure move around. But don't let that stop you, the place was very beautiful and all the cane furniture and rainforest atmosphere did prove an enjoyable stay. We won't... More

Start with the negatives because that's really what yo want to know: Not really that much. The pictures make this place look nicer than it actually is. That said, it is still a good place. It doesn't have sea views or views above the rainforest canopy, so you look out into the dense jungle. Hence, the place is a little... More

Wait a While is a large two storey house (three downstairs bedrooms and one loft bedroom) sitting in a few acres of rainforest and only a few hundred metres from Cow Bay Beach - actually, it's four beaches, mostly deserted, all with soft white sands and rain forest coming up to the sand. You can be quite alone, or, if... More
