Accommodation

The lodge offers 15 eco-friendly bayans immersed in the rainforest canopy, accommodating a maximum of 30 guests at any time. Each bayan provides a private screened balcony with views of the surrounding jungle and a rainfall shower in the bathroom. Guests sleep surrounded by the sounds of the forest, with high-quality insect screens allowing windows to remain open.

Dining

The Julaymba Restaurant serves a seasonal á la carte menu overlooking a lagoon, using locally sourced produce and native Australian ingredients. A private six-course dining experience is available on a lagoon pontoon, set with candlelight and surrounded by frogs and birdlife. The menu changes daily and includes signature dishes such as kangaroo tartare and a lemon sorbet dessert.

Wellness & Spa

The Daintree Wellness Spa offers tailored treatments such as cultural and traditional massages using native scents, plus a 1.5-hour body massage and facial. Yoga Nidra meditation sessions are held on-site to promote relaxation and well-being. The property also includes an outdoor swimming pool with a shallow end and sun loungers.

Experiences & Activities

Indigenous cultural experiences are offered, including art classes and guided nature walks that explore the property's walking trails and its private waterfall. Guests can arrange birdwatching tours to spot endemic species, or take a tour about local culture and a walking tour of the rainforest. The lodge also coordinates excursions such as a crocodile sunset river cruise and an ATV adventure to Cassowary Falls.

Location & Surroundings

The lodge sits inside the Daintree Rainforest, a UNESCO World Heritage site believed to be over 180 million years old. It provides access to nearby UNESCO sites including the Great Barrier Reef, Mossman Gorge, and Cape Tribulation.
