We stayed here for four days, right after arriving in Australia in December. It was absolutely perfect. The grounds are like a tropical paradise (the pool is amazing) and the bungalow is clean, comfortable and well-stocked and Walter and Rita are ideal hosts. Rita sat down with us for about a half hour when we arrived, going through brochures and... More

Our 6 night stay at Mountain View Lodge was to be a chill out. There is nowhere better. Our hosts, Walter and Rita were most welcoming as were the resident family of bush stone curlews, as long as we had something for them. A car is essential. The location makes Daintree easily doable and Port Douglas is only 10k away.... More
