Gil, the proprietor, is a storehouse of local knowledge and stories... wonderful man. The sleeping room was spacious, clean, perfect. The rest of the property was wonderfully "au naturel." We regretted not staying a second night but we'd already made reservations down the road. Sadly, covid had forced him to downsize his little zoo which you could see how much he'd put into it but he still had gentle parrots raised from birth and a friendly kangaroo. Loved it

Not really much.. we had our own car so the fact that stores and restaurants weren't real close was no big deal. It was nice that it was sufficiently far from all the touristy trappings. Don't let the funky exterior keep you from a wonderfully relaxing stay.

This is the best of Australia! Sit and do nothing amongst the palm trees on ur balcony, FEed a kangaroo, wake up with the bird calls in glamourous accommodation, fluffy large towels, high thread sheet count, refreshing pool swim. Donna stories of previously running a zoo on the property are worth the cost alone, throw in Substational breakfast, you'd be mad to stay anywhere else! The rooms were stylish, modern, luxurious, massive shower head, ensuite, felt like an oasis. Massive king bed that's comfy., lovely chairs in room

The ridiculous reviews stating stairs were hard, it was 15 covered steps, the people who arrived late and couldn't enjoy the atmosphere, how is that the hosts problem? The wi fi was fine on the deck and in my room (samsung). The outside was different, not drab, how many times do u get to stay in a place that used to be a zoo you drongos! Keep this place a secret - I'd go back in a heart beat. Donna the host went above and beyond with all our requests and did everything to make our lives easy. Thank you 😊 💓

We enjoyed our stay here. Gil is a legend (we didn't get to meet Donna as she was ill). Room was comfortable and had character, we liked the decor. The property suited us as a 2 night stay to explore the daintree. It's very close to the ferry and river tours.

It won't suit everyone. Since the lack of tourists during Covid, the Zoo has closed and the place is a shadow of what I imagine it's former glory would have been. You'll also need to Cart your gear up 2 flights of stairs. It suited us, but don't come expecting a conventional hotel, it's something a bit different.

The hostess was very friendly and helpful. This establishment is in a rural and picturesque setting. Although it is situated near a main road, traffic noise was not really an issue. The room was spacious, modern and comfortable. The breakfast provided was quite good and included yummy mango juice made from the fruit from the hostess's fruit orchard. The honey also originated from the property.

This is not a complaint, but just information for others. All of the rooms are upstairs so if you have heavy luggage, you will have to carry it up the stairs.

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

Spacious attractively decorated and well appointed room. Atmospheric surrounds. Very well located for our purposes. Extremely comfortable beds. Friendly, informative and efficient service. Tasty and well presented breakfast.

Unattractive, gloomy exterior and initial entry. Name of property sign-posted differently to booking name leading to confusion locating the property. Lack of provision and no means of preparing dinner in an isolated location. No prior advice of access to rooms being up 2 flights of difficult stairs.

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.

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.

Amazing host, the owner and keeper, Donna! She was super warm and friendly. Goes out of her way to help you with your requests. Rooms and toilets were super clean

Communal areas like breakfast tables and chairs could be cleaner. Too many mosquitoes. But you would expect it as they have tried to keep it nature friendly. The views are straight into huge trees while having breakfasts..

the breakfast was very good; location is appropriately located

Our planned flight was cancelled and we arrived very late at night, so we missed the opportunity to enjoy the envirionment, but the staff was very friendly, making our stay very pleasant.
