We booked cabin 1092 principally because of the outside bathroom; we loved using a similar outside bathroom when we were in the Maldives. I happened to wake up at about 5 a.m. and when I went outside the dawn chorus was absolutely amazing. When we arrived in the morning to drop off our suitcases we were greeted by a young... More

the rainforest hideway is not a place for everyone, but it was perfect for us. imagine a somewhat rustic, yet clean and comfortable private cabin carved out of the rainforest and you may get an idea what it is like. despite the fact that you are in a jungle with ornamental pools and gardens all over the property, there were...

The Rainforest Hideaway is an an incredible experience, I felt totally at one with nature. The accommodation is very clean and comfortable. Rob, the owner, is helpful, friendly and knowledgeable about the flora and fauna, plus the wildlife. I am so glad I stayed there and will definitely be back. More

My boyfriend and I had a long stay at the Rainforest Hideaway and experienced nothing but excellence and satisfaction from our stay. The rooms are unique and have great character and provide a nice taste of a holiday in the rainforest. The rooms are spotless and the breakfast includes a nice spread of food, including exotic fruit from the area.... More

Love Cape Tribulation the area itself just the accomodation the worst. We didn't ending up staying at the "resort" as when we arrived it was quite different to what was on the web site - very run down and in a word, weird. Was rather uncomfortable feeling. Found lovely accomodation just down the road cheaper and friendlier and cleaner. More

If this review had some fair criticism I would not have bothered responding but after check-n this family found friends staying elsewhere in town, and due to a communication error these people had already arranged accommodation for them too. When they decided it would be more fun to stay all together they wanted a full refund from me and when... More

We stayed two nights and loved the friendly hippie hosts who werelooking after the business since the owner was on holiday. They did a great job making us feel welcome. We loved the sculptures and enjoyed the Eco life - ie low electricity use and outdoor bathroom (was novel). Higher water pressure would have been nice but the breakfast was... More

I would recommend Rainforest Hideaway to anyone who wants to experience the real Australia. The B&B is situated in the middle of the beautiful rainforest in Northern Queensland. It's close to the beach, amazing walking trails and all there is to do in Cape Tribulation. The rooms are clean and well-decorated and the breakfast was absolutely lovely. The host, Rob,... More

Recently on our Australia holiday we were lucky enough to find Rainforest Hideaway re-opened after a year of closure. The owner had taken a break and used his time constructively to make the place even uniquer than it already was by building statues and sculptures along trails through the rainforest. We only spent three nights in this wonderful relaxed place... More

We stayed here 2 nights in August on our honeymoon. Cape Tribulation was my favourite spot on our month long visit to Australia. We stayed one night in the boardwalk cabin and one night in the main house. Both rooms are fine, but I enjoyed the boardwalk cabin more because it was "open" to the forest. You get the feeling...
