Heritage Lodge

Fabulous cabin right in the forest we enjoyed the peace and quiet with no wifi or phone reception it’s a true detox with time to just relax. The nearby waterholes are bliss in the heat and the restaurant served excellent meals would stay again next time I go to the Daintree

Gorgeous lodge in the heart of the rainforest. Cabins were very spacious and comfortable, very clean, staff was friendly. The restaurant was a huge surprise – beautiful setting, food was top notch, very well presented and delicious, couple of vegan options, reasonablly priced for the quality of food and service in a remote location. Breakfast was also great with fresh bread every morning, spreads, cereals, yogurt, and a beautiful tropical fruit salad. Location was perfect, halfway between Cape Trib and the ferry which is great at the moment with the roadworks and delays happening. Also saw some cassowary scat (poo!) which means they roam around the lodge! We really enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this place to stay and/or dine.

Last minute booking due to alternative not being available. Location excellent in the rainforest, travelled as a family (boys 12 & 10yrs) easy to find. Note. Once turned off main road short unpaved road to accommodation. Reception was good, hand you a bag with torch & umbrella (take this with you) kids loved the pool. Went down to the creek which was fairly fast flowing due to recent rain so only paddled. Accommodation was sufficient, comfortable large bed (kids beds quite hard) only stayed 1 day/night. Restaurant food was good but expensive, not really any alternative option though. As a whole we had a great overnight rainforest experience.

This place and the people are absolutely stunning. This price is on point and the accommodation is comfortable. Is part of the Earth had been smashed by a cyclone so when we arrived in the Daintree, we were informed that we could not venture to Cape tribulation, which was the whole reason that we came, but the people and the resilience of the local community was definitely a Highpoint Coopers Creek at the back of the accommodation was absolutely stunning and due to the off-season and lack of Other guess at the accommodation, we basically had the place to ourselves Wondering around lazy, checking out the local spots coming back for a beautiful dinner and happy hour drinks.

We stayed here as a family and found the location to be beautiful. Lovely staff at reception and around the cabins. There is no wifi unless you are near reception/restaurant. They have some board games (twister!) and DVDs available to borrow but not much variety for small children so recommend bringing some DVDs along if you have small children. There are two swimming holes that make you feel very al naturale and immersed in the rainforest. The pool is not heated and was freezing during July so we found it better to hop in the crispy creek. Please be mindful that the cabins are airy and open with vents and as such there is little to no sound proofing. You can hear the nature and the neighbours, it is pretty relaxed though so there's no one keeping you up with parties. 4 stars because the breakfast provided at On The Turps could be better, especially considering the exxy spread they serve at lunch and dinner. Bread, condiments, tea, coffee, juice, fruit, and cereal. Tasty bread though. At any place you stay in the daintree you want to be prepared as there's not much around. There is a great little servo/minimart down the road with food etc. There is no kitchenette at the heritage lodge and buying out can be expensive and the few places around are mostly 12 - 2 for lunch which could spell trouble for hungry families who miss the lunch cut off. Get snacks and plan your meals. Overall, I enjoyed my stay at heritage lodge in the daintree. Thank you to all the wonderful staff.

We went for dinner and it couldn’t be faulted! The online menu was different to the one we got given at the restaurant . My partner said it was one of the best steaks he’s had and my duck was great. We ended our meals with a dessert (sticky date and Eaton mess) both were also great! Nice atmosphere, very lovely. Thank you!

What a pearl in the rainforest. We loved our stay here. Very relaxed, nice room, nice staff and good food. We can recommend this hotel if you want a glimp of the rainforest. We can recommend a river tour as well. And one must drive north to Cape Tribulation. We must come back once!

What a fabulous play to stay at deep within the Daintree Rainforest. We loved it ! The cabins are lovely and the grounds of the lodge were wonderful to explore. The swimming holes were stunning with crystal clear water. Truly a one-off rainforest experience ! Huge shout out to the Chef – our dinner was amazing. Accompanying vegetables can sometimes be a bit “iffy” but these were superb - so fresh and cooked perfectly. The menu options were very good and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The cocktails at happy hour were excellent too ! Best Daiquiri I have had in a long time ! Breakfast had freshly baked bread – which was to die for ! As they warn you, there is no wifi or cell coverage there but that is actually a real bonus! Also, my husband has a bit of mosquito phobia (not so good when you are travelling deep within a rainforest), but the cabin was very well screened and even had fly spray provided, so he had no problem sleeping at all. Highly recommend staying here when visiting the Daintree Rainforest. Great accommodation, great grounds and great food.

We run a small travel company and ran 4 tours to Cape York and back during June, July and August 2023 including some in 2022 and 2021. On each tour we have been extremely well catered for by Vicki, Denise and their friendly staff. The accomodation setting deep in the Daintree along with first class meals makes this, for our groups, the best place to stop when travelling either North or south from the cape back to Cairns.
