Daintree

Ecolodge

Daintree Rainforest, Queensland

Queensland Rainforest Retreat

Daintree Ecolodge is situated in the heart of the ancient Daintree Rainforest and is the only boutique accommodation in this remarkable World-Heritage rainforest, thought to be over 165 million years old.

The retreat offers 15 eco-friendly and stylish rooms in three categories: ‘Lagoon Bayans’ situated high in the rainforest canopy with views out to the onsite lagoon; ‘Canopy Bayans’ also set in the canopy but with rainforest views; and ‘Rainforest Bayans’ which sit at ground level offering complete privacy and seclusion. All embrace the rainforest surrounds with an open plan setting and micro-screened balconies to ensure you feel as close to nature as possible whilst still being able to enjoy the comforts of a boutique hotel.

During your stay wake up to the sound of the birds in the canopy above, take a leisurely walk through the forest to the lodges’ private and pristine waterfall, practice yoga, indulge in a spa treatment or venture further afield to Mossman Gorge, Cape Tribulation or out onto the Great Barrier Reef. Dine on seasonal produce sourced from the onsite vegetable garden and the surrounding region of Port Douglas, prepared by expert chefs.

Escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life and rejuvenate your body, mind and soul in a breathtaking landscape where time appears to have stood still.

Thank you for putting together the ancestral adventure of a lifetime. I cannot speak highly enough of the trip. The transfers went smoothly, the accommodation was excellent, the drivers were amazing as they manoeuvred through the traffic and every tour guide had a great deal of knowledge and information. Nothing was too much trouble for them. The contrast of poverty and riches of the country was striking, from the beggars in the street and struggles of the poor to the spectacular, impressive sights of the forts and monuments. There were so many highlights. A moment in time that will never happen again.

Exellent and wonderful, reaching way above expectations.

We wanted the opportunity to see as many wildlife parks as possible and the Classic Safari Company provided an action-packed itinerary that included six, with 11 tiger sightings and nine leopard. This was overlaid with an introduction to Jaisalmer, Jaipur and the 'real' India. Pench and Panna were the hidden gems of a really great trip, very well organised, seamless and enjoyable. As a solo traveller I felt incredibly safe at all times. I want to go back!

Mark Taylor

The trip exceeded my expectations and was the best family holiday I have ever had. Our children simply loved it and now I know more about African wildlife than they do about our own farm animals.
