Reviews of Daintree Cascades 4 stars

Daintree Cascades is a place i would recommend to anyone who wants to switch off from the world. The cabin was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. The surrounding rainforest and private water hole were stunning. I wish time would have allowed us to stay longer. This place is special.

Please understand this review is for the Cottage only (not the Roundhouse) at Daintree Cascades. To be clear, there are two homes on the property (completely separate). The property is beautiful, with the Cottage set in the rainforest along a creek with easy steps to sit by the creek. Also, the Cottage was extremely clean. We had two issues that we describe below, and it is confusing when you book -- know whether you are booking the Roundhouse or the Cottage as we were not clear.

Our issue is that from the moment we walked in, the Cottage smelled like mildew even though the fans are running constantly. There is no air conditioning, which wasn't needed in August (Australia winter) although we do not know the weather during the rest of the year. The first morning I saw water on the bathroom floor by the toilet and informed the owner later in the day (when we had wifi). She kindly quickly replied to say it was from an issue with the shower and would be replaced this week as they were waiting for a part. She also wanted to allay any concerns that it was not dirty water. I wonder if the mildew smell was from the ongoing leak. The second complaint is that there is no wifi except on the very edge of the porch, although we rarely could pick up the signal. We thought for the price, we should not have had the smell and wifi should be included.

We took the roundhouse and it was superb. Located in a very remote place in the rainforest, it was superb, calm and relaxing. It really has a nice private creek. Having dinner in a terrace surrounded by the forest, even during the rain was magnificent

We did not see any cassowaries.

The location was amazing. Very peaceful and beautiful.

We spent a lot of time outside so it would’ve been nice to have some comfortable outdoor furniture to relax in.

We absolutely loved our stay at Daintree Cascades. It was a lovely cottage which was very clean and the bed was extremely comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed to make our own dinners. The private cascades were absolutely stunning and refreshing for a swim. The surroundings makes this stay truly unique and an opportunity to switch off from the world to relax and unwind in the rainforest.

Nothing!!!

Superb location - blissful sounds of the cascades

Fabulous stay Private location Beautiful private swimming hole

The location, setting and accommodation were all perfect! Nature reset, digital detox, the most relaxing few days I've ever had.

Beautiful house in a stunning rainforest location!!

the beautiful setting and location.

honestly happy with everything

We were looking for a comfortable place to stay with easy access to the Daintree rain forest. The Cottage at Daintree Cascades was VERY comfortable and in the heart of the rain forest. With a large creek, swimming holes, waterfall and lush vegetation right at your doorstep, you feel like you are experiencing the best of the rainforest without even leaving the property. The cottage is a simple yet beautifully constructed and well appointed dwelling with a luxurious bed, stylish furnishings, great ventilation, excellent climate control (ceiling fans in every room) and a fantastic little kitchen. The hosts were easily accessible and very accommodating. Could not recommend highly enough.

Didn't encounter any issues. The property totally suited our needs.

Absolutely everything. The ambience is breathtaking.

I couldn’t stay longer.

From the moment we turned down the driveway, we were blown away by the pure beauty of not only the cottage, but the whole enviroment. It was breathtaking, for all of the right reasons. Ali came to introduce herself to us and let us know if we needed anything, to just let her know. She also gave us some local knowledge of places to go and visit and also eat at. Ali and James were great hosts and we will definitely be returing to this perfect patch of tropical paradise.

There was nothing to not like

The tranquility and beauty

Location was amazing and the swim hole looked gorgeous but too cold to swim

Underwhelming! One small 2 seater lounge was the only place to sit inside. No soft furnishings, lamps, carpet, fireplace, board games or toiletries as per description. Very small TV was the only entertainment so quite boring. We left a day early and forfeited the $350 a night. Better value properties in the area.

Relaxing peaceful world in itself

Absolutely stunning location . Classy and stylish property with fabulous amenities. Hosts were extremely helpful and welcoming

.

The property is located in a beautiful little patch of the rainforest - you get your own little creek in front of the property where you can swim, or just dip your feet. Everything was super clean and all the essentials available in the kitchen to make and serve meals.
