We stayed at Daintree Eco Lodge & Spa late in January and found the setting, accommodation in the ‘tree-houses”, meals and spa treatments well above our expectations. The staff were all friendly, they made us feel part of the “family”.

One afternoon we were overlooking the stream flowing under the restaurant from the beautiful waterfall. We were watching yabbies, eels and fish when we witnessed a brightly yellow coloured snake swimming gracefully upstream – it was actually shredding its skin as we watched. Found out later from the staff it was a keel-back water snake (Tropidonophis mairii) - one of the few animals that can eat cane toads. The staff explained it is usually seen by diners overlooking the fresh water lagoon where barramundi, freshwater turtles and some gigantic eels provide natural entertainment.

While all this was happening there was a small colourful kingfisher (Azure) diving on the fish in the stream, and two large bright blue butterflies (Ulysses) – all seemed to be putting on a real show for us. It was like being in a David Attenborough documentary – but in real life!

Our stay was topped off by an Aboriginal guided walk – the best we’ve ever done. We learnt so much about the local Aboriginal people and how they lived for thousands of years in harmony with the rich ancient rainforest. Also a highlight of our stay was a fishing trip with the guide and his aboriginal fishing partners. A night spear fishing over the coral reefs, resulting in 1 huge 4 foot Barra and so much more! Plus turtle everywhere! The powers to be say turtles are scarce….just go with the locals, “they know”! Thank you, thank you Daintree Eco Lodge and Spa and all your staff. Say hi to Juan, Percy, Brandon and Nat – best fisherman in the world. We will be back again!

We certainly felt we had very special experiences in a very special place. Highly recommended and room tip: request a “tree-house” up in the rainforest – numbers 6 -12 seem to be really immersed in the rainforest and they have a spa on their balconies.

What a wonderful unique and rare experience awaits those who visit the lodge set amongst the Rainforest, wow what a remarkable way to remove stress and pressure created by todays work and economic woes. Truely one of Australia's wonders of the World, and a place you can't miss. Learning about Indigenous culture and the natural and native flora and fauna that abounds is something that makes you realise that Australia is indeed the lucky country. Great friendly personal service, the food and atmosphere is out of this world. You can't afford to miss it. Well done Cathy and Terry.

Room tip: What can one say, set amongst the rainforest canopy, wow.

My parents bought us a night at daintree eco lodge for an engagement present. They got a half price special so instead of $600 a night it was 2 rooms for this price, however accomodation price does not reflect a quality stay.. If you love getting close to nature (mosquitos, spiders and being bitten by leeches) then this is the high priced camping night you need! There was good points, Bed was nice. Creams, soaps, lotions in room are fabulous, and main meal in resturant was outstanding just small portions. Portable cabins/hutt are on stiltz and show there age from the outside and in. Try the bush walk to the waterfalls, just watch man v's wild with bear grylls before you leave the hutt!! Wi-fi is only available in resturant area, and weak at best. TV's are extremely small (monitor size) with a massive 2 channel choice to watch from. The crickets and nature noise drowns out the tv. My parents had mould inside there kettle with also an extra tasty dead roach/bug sitting in it.. Thankfully we checked everything before we drank out of anything.. It was suppose to be a romantic night but it ended up a very expensive night simular to camping style.. But do check out there creams and soaps, really great stuff..
