"A great location to stay if you are exploring the Daintree or taking a Daintree River cruise. The ammenities are clean and the pool is superb. The have licenced food vans on site, open daily for breakfast, coffee, dinner or a drink. We stayed in the tents, and they are lockable and are good value for the price you pay. (A few points to note: If you are staying here and need to use the Daintree River ferry, the ferry is $57 return for a standard vehicle.
