Very individual rooms with personal touches. Shower room needed a bit of up-dating but at the time of our stay Eric was doing just that to surrounding units! Saw a cassowary from the kitchen window - amazing! Had a meal in the restaurant on the first night - we were the only diners, the food was excellent and it was...

Judy and Eric were very helpful during our 5 day stay. They are knowledgeable but not pushy and through them we booked a crocodile boat trip, and a 4-wheel-drive trip to Cooks Town. We stayed in a non self-catering room that was nicely decorated, and we ate breakfast in the open air restaurant that over looks a well stocked pond...

We spent 7 nights at the Daintree Retreat Motel ... we found it here on TripAdvisor then got in touch with Eric and Judy to find out more as we were travelling from the UK and had never been to this part of the world before.
We opted for one of Eric's packages "get Wrecked - Do the Lot" which...

During our stay in September 2011 Judy was very helpful with advice on what to see, where to eat, which reef trip to go on. She booked jungle surfing for us, our reef trip and a dinner and animal night spotting tour.
Thanks Judy!

We stayed there in The summer of last year and I have to say it was the worst ever retreat I have ever stayed at. When we first arrived we were greeted by the owner Eric who at first seemed nice until, his wife also part owner shouted at our kids complaining that the dinner waitress might slip on the...

Wow the phantom owners would sure like to know who the phantom guests are!!
You supposedly stayed in November 2010, you must have been real upset to wait a whole year to post your review. We have never charged anyone One Hundred Pound (or over) and we also have never refunded this amount, your story is a load of made...

We stayed at this awesome place for 2 days and wished we'd stayed for longer. A true piece of paradise which both Eric and Judy should be very proud of.The complex is very natural and the rooms are presented in a way that are spotless and each room is themed with tasteful decor inspired by Judy and Eric's passion for...

We had a blast staying at the Daintree Rainforest Retreat! The rooms are well-kept and the property is beautiful. Judy was such a sweetheart, and more than hospitable. The service here is impeccable. We are looking forward to staying here again!

We enjoyed our stay in the Retreat,we were there for couple of nights and we did eat at Retreat and therefore cannot really comment on this subject (just read lots of nasty reviews about it below so this is why I am putting this comment in).
The motel was clean, very quiet and have a lovely surroundings.. This is exactly...

We had a disappointing experience at this place for various reasons and would not recommend. There is a lot of pressure (subtle?) from the managers for you to take some of the tours they offer and we realised later (and from reading reviews here) that it is because they make a commission. The food on offer is also sub-standard. However,...

Isnt it remarkable how you are allowed to hide behind a disguise and write such defamatory remarks that we now have to defend. It is people like you that are giving Trip Advisor such a bad reputation and making it hard for genuine travellers to receive an honest review of an establishment.
We only had two rooms booked from people...

This hotel is quite unique and rather nice and perfect if you wish to relax, read a good book and listen to the rain and rainforest creatures. There is not really a restaurant and breakfast is a little disappointing as there is a full menu in the room information folder but this is not available. Obviously it does not have...

I am quite staggered by this review as it is totally untrue!. You sound like you stayed for days, but you only stayed 2 nights. Our restaurant is certainly open, but only to our in-house guests. In order to get staff organised and prep work done in the kitchen, we require our guests to book in for dinner prior to...
