This Motel is absolutely amazing! My husband and I spent 3 nights here and neither of us wanted to leave. Eric and Judy are the perfect hosts......they always have time for their guests and are so helpful with everything. If you need a trip booking they will book it for you; if you want advice about the local area they... more

A year on, and it's about time to capture some of our favourite Australian moments... Only had 4 days with Eric and Judy, but it was one full of adventure, relaxed lifestyle and great company. Arrived by taxi from Cairns (bad move), and soon found this was an area to have your own transport ( 4 * 4 would be... more

I travelled with my sister to Cape Tribulation and we stayed at Rainforest Retreat Motel for 2 nights. When we arrived, Eric was most welcoming to his property and we were given a very nice quiet room in the back section of the property. Our room was cosy with fully self contained kitchen, quality beds and very comfortable for a... more

A fabulous and interesting place to stay. Eric and Judy were great hosts, and were extremely helpful. An arrival Eric gave us a map of all the things to be done in the area. This was colour coded by him, as to which were free etc. We took his advice about the best day to visit the Barrier Reef, which... more

We had a memorable stay at the Rainforest Retreat and it was definitely one of our favourite places on our tour of Australia. The rooms are being refurbished and we were lucky enough to stay in one of the new rooms which were clean, modern and had a very personal touch. You definitely feel like you are in the middle... more

First time I write a review but, this time I really promised myself I would do it. First, let me tell you that we arrived in the Rainforest after getting married in Palm Cove and after spending 5 nights in an amazing 5 stars hotel!! Therefore, the first reaction was a bit like: "Welcome to reality."So, if you are going... more

We had a simply wonderful stay at this Motel last month. We decided to spend some time in the Daintree - rather than do a day trip up - after spending a few days out on sea on the reef. We arrived in the evening at the motel, and right from our arrival, Judy, took wonderful care of us by... more

Booked through Wotif our expectations were not very high. The minute you turn into the driveway you are transfixed by the wonderful gardens, then you spy the pool WOW. Our room was utterly delightful and better than some of the more expensive places that we have stayed. Judy and Eric were both very friendly and keen to ensure that we... more

Stayed three nights - two adults, one child. The room seemed freshly painted and decorated, and was reasonably well equipped, with bar fridge, microwave and necessary cookign implements, crockery etc. It seemed new and fresh too. Being the tropics it takes a long time for anything to dry, including hair (mine stayed annoyingly damp most of the time!) - a... more
