The accommodation is basic and the grounds pictured represent a distant memory of what it once was before it was neglected during the pandemic. I hope the new owners can breathe new life (money and hard work) into a beautiful place that was once and could be amazing again.

My family of 5 spent 1 night in one of the family rooms at the Lync-Haven Rainforest Retreat during a family holiday to far north Queensland. First the good: This lodge conveniently located near key Daintree attractions like the Daintree River, Jindalba Boardwalk, and Discovery Centre. The lodge also has an on-site restaurant, which we didn't use, but appeared to have reasonably-priced meals. The resort also had some (poorly maintained) rainforest trails throughout the property as well as a wallaby enclosure. The not-so-good: IMO, the biggest issue with the accommodation was the price, given the budget quality of the room. The 'cabin' was a small studio room with budget quality furnishings and a cramped toilet/shower area. The rooms had no kitchen equipment so you couldn't prepare meals. There was no WiFi on the premises for customers, nor was there any cell signal. However, the staff had access to WiFi which they were unwilling to share even in the reception or restaurant area. I expect more for AUD 210 per night.

Very Wet Two Days in the Rain Forest
We Booked a 2 night Stay in the Rainforest . The rain Came with us and was there for 2 days Rain and More Rain . Due to the fact the motel units were in the rainforest the Air condition Had to be going all the time as the room would full up with water ! so this made the room very cold . The Meals were on for only 1 night out of the 2 and were very good . The Place has been let to run down a bit but we were ok .

The restaurant/cafe was a real hub. As a solo traveler I was quickly made to feel welcome by the hosts and other guests. They really care deeply for the animals that reside there too. This was a feature!
