Coco Beach Villa - Tropical Beachfront Haven

Coco Beach Villa - Tropical Beachfront Haven

10/10 Excellent
"We had a wonderful stay at Coco Beach Villa in Newell Beach. The host was responsive and easy to reach throughout our trip. The location is a great jumping-off point for day trips to the Daintree, Cape Tribulation, Mossman Gorge, and the Great Barrier Reef, while still feeling peaceful and away from it all. The beach is just meters from the house and beautiful to walk along, though no swimming given the possibility of crocodiles in the area. Enjoyed the pool and BBQ, and the beds and showers are very comfortable. Would happily stay again!"

Heritage Lodge

Heritage Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"Stayed 3 nights in a twin room with king bed. Spacious, clean room with clean bathroom and good shower. Fantastic deck with rainforest views and a procession of wildlife. Room has a small fridge and tea-coffee making facilities but not much else for self-catering. On-site bar and restaurant available for breakfast (continental included), lunch and dinner. Meals were very good quality and quantity, continental breakfast was fruit, cereals and toast. Location is ideal for exploring the Daintree for a couple of days without having to use the ferry every day. Several rainforest walks available directly from the lodge with safe swimming holes in the nearby creek. No other restaurants or services within walking distance, there is a small store about 10 min drive away."

"Good location Beach access Felt very safe Grounds well kept Rooms need a good spring clean. We had an ant issue in our room, the staff did address as best as possible. Staff were extremely helpful. It’s pretty much a do it yourself resort- Rubbish out, no sheet change, towel change once."

Cape Tribulation Beach House

Cape Tribulation Beach House

10/10 Excellent
"Cape Trib beach house gives you the opportunity to have a secluded bit of rainforest and beach away from the busier parts of the Daintree. The restaurant is good, portions are large. You can sit on an idyllic beach with just a couple of others hearing and seeing the rainforest animals as waves lap upon the beach. We saw Cassowary at the property twice in our 3 day stay. You can’t go in the water, but that is true of all FNQ. This is not a luxury property but maybe a more authentic feel, the rooms have the basic necessities and are clean and comfortable. The property is well located for Daintree activities, we did both the horse riding and ziplining, both of which were excellent and can be organised by the staff."
