Reviews of Daintree Wild Bed & Breakfast 3.5 stars

Donna was a delightful host. She went out of her way to ensure our group had a comfortable stay. The room was spacious, well equipped and clean. Breakfast had a selection of fresh fruit, crumpets, toast and cereals with the added bonus of a visit from Big Boy the kangaroo.

Wonderful place for a couple nights. Gil was most entertaining and extremely helpful and we loved feeding his pet kangaroo named Big Boy. Thank you Gil 😊

Nearest shops and restaurants 20 mins away. No dinning possibilities except breakfast.

Our room Aviary was clean, given free access to adjoining room. The bathroom is massive, yes no door, but ensuite is private from sleeping area. Hostess nice. Six of seven rooms available above eatery, other section opposite the pool closed.

Daintree Wild B&B photos on various websites reflect it in its prime opening period @2017, not what it’s now. Zoo closed post COVID, no free WIFI or paid, pool closed and not accessible. The outside surroundings are run down and uninviting. The buffet breakfast is a limited choice of 3 cereals, tea/coffee & mango juice, bread or crumpets for toasting served between 8-9am. The same fruit is served every morning if not consumed. Dirt and spider webs hang from the ceiling. Poor lighting with many lights or lamps missing globes. Microwave not working. It’s a budget place, ok for overnight stay.

Extremely friendly host, made you feel very welcome and at home

Large room, very comfortable bed and excellent shower, Nice continental breakfast and friendly host.

The photos on here are nothing like it. We were shocked that how could this business still running. This has been neglected. It’s literally a jungle. The rooms smells but reasonably comfortable bed I’m glad. Way too pricey. We felt scammed

Lovely owner and his breakfast juice is amazing.

King size comfy bed. Modern style room.

Grounds were not well maintained.

Love to share my toast with their friendly kangaroo.

Internet didn’t work in the room but we were surrounded by forest, hills and trees.

Wonderful host, a real Aussie legend. Super helpful and friendly. The room was great, very spacious and clean.

Nothing.

Everything

Beautiful area and comfortable accommodation

Missing availability to cook your own food for dinners & the fridge was very small to accommodate family food.

Soft towels, comfortable bed and large room

Not as advertised- no animals, run down. Some things didn’t work properly

It was very quiet at night.

If you are looking for a unique Far North Queensland experience this might fit the bill but it wasn’t the experience we were after. Following COVID and successive floods the property is looking very rundown. It is also located on the highway, away from any meal options or services. Breakfast was a simple spread of fruit, cereal and toast, which suited us fine. The owner, Gil, was very friendly but was critical of many of the tourist attractions in the area. We found these attractions were actually very interesting and enjoyable, particularly for visitors who had never been to the Daintree before.

A warm welcome from Gill the owner, who went out of his way to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. An interesting and characterful place to stay in a former wildlife park. Facilities clean and well equipped. Breakfast included was an added bonus.

Extra friendly host to talk to while at the accommodation. Great breakfast. Large room and extra large bathroom

Got bitten by insects while wandering around property.

Great hidden gem with charm, good brekkie and great service! Loved the friendly owner, Gil and the kangaroo that said hello as well! Highly recommend! Great spot to stay that’s a bit private but still close to Mossman and Daintree.

It is run down but I think that adds to the charm to be honest.

We were pleasantly surprised by the rooms which were very spacious and clean. It was sad to find out how much COVID-19 impacted this place but we left feeling grateful we were able to experience this bnb after they were able to reopen. Gil had enjoyable stories about the place and was an attentive and funny host, adding to the authenticity of this Australian wilderness experience. Thank you Gil

We really wanted to like this property but it’s a long way from how it’s described. No pool or animals and generally feels unloved and run down. Room smelt quite unpleasant.

Dim and dingy reception area. Generally felt unloved and dilapidated. Checked out without staying one night as my wife was already feeling unwell so headed to a cleaner, more welcoming location.

Rooms very spacious and clean. Host was very helpful and friendly. Highly recommended.
