We wish we could have stayed longer! ##### Ann Stayed 1 night in Sep 2024 ### 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 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bowie 22 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful setting, fantastic staffs, love the wallabies and birds!!! ##### Bowie Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Izabella 13 Aug 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Quiet, relaxing, loved the coconut odyssey, the butterfly walk, scampering around the headland at low tide..so much more to enjoy here in better weather too! ##### Izabella Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sarah 3 Nov 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Lovely unique location for a peaceful break.

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 ### 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 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joseph Paul 5 Sept 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The property is amazing. 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 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marian 30 Apr 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Superb rainforest setting.

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 ### 8/10 Good #### elizabeth 20 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful secluded rainforest property with its own beautiful beach. Good size room; eco friendly but parking was not near the room and restaurant was so/so ##### elizabeth Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2024 ### 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 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brynne 9 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities My partner and I had an amazing time! We loved walking around the property and exploring the trails. You just can’t beat having a private beach and your own private little sanctuary amongst the trees. Truly spectacular. The staff were extremely kind and attentive. We had Ray as our waiter both times we dined at the restaurant for dinner and he was great. While the menu is limited, everything was delicious. I will say that if you are looking for a pristine resort with immediate pool side service, this may not be the place for you. It is a long walk from the beach to get a cold beer! But if you like the silence of nature and people that appreciate it…then this place certainly is worth a visit. ##### Brynne Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Geetha 2 Feb 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Amazing friendly staff, private Reserve with individual Bangalows, spectacular views.
