It’s a little out of the way, a little hilly and hard to navigate but everything is forgiven by the kindness and attentiveness of the staff. Brett took us on a long and comprehensive nature walk doing everything he could to show us the animals and plants and explaining everything. When we had a flat tire Brett and Sam worked until they figured out how to fix it. Neither would accept even a tip. The stay was wonderful ##### JACQUELINE Stayed 1 night in Dec 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Natalie 8 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities This is a beautiful resort placed in the middle of a wonderful nature park with private beach.

Such a relaxing getaway in a wonderful location. Our private bungalow was perfect and we spent most of our stay exploring the properties many walks, lookouts and beach, and thanks again for organising the day tour to Cape Tribulation for us, it was fantastic! Can't wait to come again, and already sending others your way! ##### James Richard Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Larrisa 16 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Thala was the perfect break - a quiet, wild oasis. Seamless check in and helpful porters are quick to take you about the resort in gold buggies. Rooms are tucked away and private, ideal for romantic get aways. There is so much to do on the property - highly recommend both the southern loop and the more rugged nature walk. The guided nature tour with Dave was a highlight, so much knowledge about flora and fauna. The property itself is 20-30 years old but very well maintained. Everything is set in dense woodland so there are leaves, sticks, bugs and cane toads - this is part of nature and not a detriment. Using the Optus network I had solid 4G on most of the property including on the walks and in our room. This is a place that’s less about instagram vibe and more about peaceful connection with a rewilded piece of land. Very highly recommended. ##### Larrisa Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marian 30 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Superb rainforest setting.

Bungalow style rooms scattered through the rainforest, connected by very walkable paved paths. The staff was great. The food was good. But it is the property itself that makes this place special. ##### Joseph Paul Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2024 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### jayendra 3 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The property is located on a nature reserve, so it very quiet. There are a couple of walks the stargazers is worth doing it is step access so to stay here you do need to be mobile steps to your rooms and to reception it is in the middle of nowhere so if your happy to have one choice of restaurant it is fine ##### jayendra Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hollee 20 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Location is wonderful, just south of Port Douglas.

We really enjoyed our stay here and was fantastic for a few days relaxing and exploring the area up to Daintree and Port Douglas. We spent two nights eating in the restaurant and the food was top class. If I had any improvement it would be to heat the pool as it was freezing at this time of the year so we only used it for a quick dip and where the ones I saw use it. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Sep 2024 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Alex 4 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Loved being away from any built environment, nestled amongst the trees, ocean and cliffs, lots of birds and feeling of being in nature. The restaurant is a stunning location but the food is hit and miss, limited menu, and expensive. Staff are warm and friendly. The resort has a slightly worn fee about it. But if you’re looking for a slightly rustic eco retreat vibe, it’s great. ##### Alex Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Shingley Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-Shingley-Beach-Resort.h2744419.Hotel-Information) > - [Daintree Ecolodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lower-Daintree-Hotels-Daintree-Ecolodge.h525492.Hotel-Information) > - [Mirage Whitsundays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-Mirage-Whitsundays.h11066236.Hotel-Information) > - [Tasman Holiday Parks - Airlie Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-Island-Gateway-Holiday-Park.h3866288.Hotel-Information) > - [Base Backpackers Magnetic Island - Hostel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Townsville-Hotels-Base-Backpackers-Magnetic-Island-Hostel.h14641975.Hotel-Information) > - [Bush Village Holiday Cabins](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-Bush-Village-Holiday-Cabins.h11529204.Hotel-Information) > - [Darlington Grove Farm Stay in a Renovated Dairy Lots of Animals and River Access](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Darlington-Hotels-Darlington-Grove-Farm-Stay-In-A-Renovated-Dairy-Lots-Of-Animals-And-River-Access.h37904197.Hotel-Information) > - [Mango House Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-Mango-House-Resort.h574907.Hotel-Information) > - [NRMA Airlie Beach Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-Seabreeze-Tourist-Park.h9849072.Hotel-Information) > - [Silky Oaks Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Douglas-Hotels-Silky-Oaks-Lodge.h1636501.Hotel-Information) > - [Mantra Club Croc](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-Mantra-Club-Croc.h519113.Hotel-Information) > - [Nightelier Mission Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mission-Beach-Hotels-Mission-Beach-Resort.h2773789.Hotel-Information) > - [Green Island Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Green-Island-Hotels-Green-Island-Resort.h2650447.Hotel-Information) > - [Nomads Magnetic Island - Hostel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Townsville-Hotels-Base-Magnetic-Island-Hostel.h3651343.Hotel-Information) > - [Coral Sea Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-Coral-Sea-Marina-Resort.h1047180.Hotel-Information) > - [Seascape Holidays at Seascape Temple](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Douglas-Hotels-Seascape-Holidays-At-Sea-Temple.h19802978.Hotel-Information) > - [Desert Gardens Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Yulara-Hotels-Desert-Gardens.h67183126.Hotel-Information) > - [Heron Island Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Heron-Island-Hotels-Heron-Island-Resort.h1636471.Hotel-Information) > - [at Marina Shores](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-At-Marina-Shores.h3398158.Hotel-Information) > - [Bounce Magnetic Island](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Horseshoe-Bay-Hotels-Selina-Magnetic-Island.h89484711.Hotel-Information) > - [Glamping at Truffle Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gretna-Hotels-Truffle-Lodge.h22239606.Hotel-Information) > - [3 Bedroom House Daintree](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Diwan-Hotels-Only-Private-Guesthouse-With-Its-Own-Waterfalls-And-Swimming-Hole-By-Your-Deck.h29486623.Hotel-Information) > - [Rochester Riverside Holiday Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rochester-Hotels-Rochester-Riverside-Caravan-Park.h65341713.Hotel-Information) > - [Island Leisure Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Townsville-Hotels-Island-Leisure-Resort.h2650691.Hotel-Information) > - [Meridian Port Douglas - Adults only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Port-Douglas-Hotels-Meridian-Port-Douglas.h1479384.Hotel-Information) > - [Ayr Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ayr-Hotels-Ayr-Hotel.h78537272.Hotel-Information) > - [The Sebel Whitsundays Airlie Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-At-Blue-Horizon-Resort-Apartments.h2650727.Hotel-Information) > - [The Copa Cabana at Copacabana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Copacabana-Hotels-The-Copa-Cabana-At-Copacabana.h33554165.Hotel-Information) > - [RAC Monkey Mia Dolphin Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monkey-Mia-Hotels-RAC-Monkey-Mia-Dolphin-Resort.h2650828.Hotel-Information) ---
