Daintree Peaks Eco Stays

Things started off a bit poorly as google maps tried to send us via the CREB 4WD track, but once we figured out there was a ferry that cut off about 4 hours of travel we were on our way. The chalet we had was clean and tidy and suited us just fine. Greg (host) provided us with home cooked meals (with the help of his wife Lisa) at night, and a two course breakfast in the morning. We had a couple of cold beers each night and enjoyed Greg’s stories of his time working in remote parts of the world. We also didn’t mind his direct view of world affairs. We would definitely return if in the Daintree area again.

We had a great stay. George the owner is very proud of his property and showed us all around his gardens. The rooms were spacious, clean and modern. Very convenient to Daintree Discovery Center. All damage from the December 2023 “extreme rain event” have been repaired. Don’t hesitate to book. You can have breakfast and dinner at the hotel cafe. Otherwise, there are very limited restaurant options, and no markets nearby, so stock up before you get on the ferry, either at Mossman or Port Douglas.

Under the circumstances with our stay being post cyclone Jasper, we were very pleased with accommodation being a safe, secure, well maintained in a beautiful location in Daintree. Our host, Greg, was knowledgeable, accommodating and served us substantial meals twice a day. We enjoyed listening to his various, adventurous life experiences.He took us for a walk on the property, where he is growing various types of tropical fruit which we were able to pick and eat. There is fresh water pool that was available to cool off and protect us from the elements with a covered roof and netting to keep out any unwanted critters. Everything on this property has been build incredibly solid! When we were in a pinch to get to the Daintree river, as we did not have a vehicle, he offered us a ride there. It is definitely best to have be independent with a vehicle at this location. Thank you for an excellent stay. It was one of our highlights visiting this area in Australia.
