Daintree Crocodylus

Fabulous simplicity, warm welcome and comfortable clean accommodation. 2 adults 2 children very happy with our rainforest stay. Food was delicious. We didn't do the guided night walk but heard others say how great it was. Helpful staff and well run. Highly recommend.

Stayed at Daintree Crocodylus with family including young children. It was a terrific experience. The cabin worked well for a family of 5 - it was spacious and the beds were comfortable and having our own bathroom was great. We loved the jungle trail and the night tour was excellent too. The cafe is fabulous- great food (generous serves!), great for children as well as adults. And the staff are amazing- so friendly and helpful. Thanks to all.

My partner and I stayed at the Daintree Crocodylus Village in January 2024, just after the tourist restrictions were lifted. The location is absolutely stunning, surrounded by nature, making it the perfect place to escape for an immersive, close-to-nature experience. Although many attractions were closed, Sally provided us with excellent directions to explore local beaches and trekking areas. She also suggested areas for us to look out for on a night walk through the property, allowing us to witness the local wildlife up close. We were the first tourists on the island after Cyclone Jasper, and on the night of our stay, heavy rainfall caused the ferry service to shut down, stranding us. Despite these challenges, Sally and Steve were incredibly helpful. They used all their contacts to ensure we could leave the island and catch our flight the next morning. They organised an emergency evacuation boat during high tide and heavy rain, showing exceptional dedication to their guests and relieving a huge stress for us. We are also so grateful to Steve, who, through Sally and Steve's network, ensured our rental car was returned and handled all necessary procedures so we wouldn't be charged for the extra five days the car was stranded due to the emergency. We definitely plan to return to experience everything the Daintree has to offer. Despite the closures and roadblocks, the location's beauty left a lasting impression on us. We can only imagine how breathtaking it must be when everything is fully operational. A heartfelt thank you to Sally and Steve for all their help, and apologies for the delay in posting this review!

If you are concerned at all about security, don't stay at Crocodylus. There are no locks on the cabin doors. When I asked about this, the owner said casually, "No-one has ever had anything stolen from their rooms yet." It would be so cheap just to put some padlocks on the doors even as a deterrent, but he doesn't seem to think it's necessary. I'm sure he won't be the first to offer to pay when it does happen. There are people strolling by at all times of the day and night and it would be very easy just to walk in and take what you want with impunity. I hope when it happens (and it will) that it won't be you.

Amazing experience in an amazing region! Daintree Crocodylus enabled us to discover the Rainforest from a unique perspective, including enjoying a cassowary’s visit during breakfast. Steve and Sally were warm, helpful and generous hosts! We will definitely be back.

This is by far the best experience in the Daintree. Great accommodation- yes it’s basic, but get to you sleep within the beautiful jungle. Mosquito nets and comfy beds and a fantastic, restful sleep full of the sounds of nature. They offer home cooked food, good coffee and a very warm welcome. The hosts are knowledgable and friendly and happy to share their time to chat and talk about their passion.. Daintree. I was lucky enough to share my breakfast coffee with a curious cassowary who wandered in. Second time I have visited and I will definitely be back.
