Daintree Siesta

We had a fabulous stay at Daintree Siesta. It’s situated in the midst of the Daintree rainforest, close to the Daintree Discovery Centre and an easy drive to the main holiday attractions in Cape Tribulation. Daintree Siesta has beautiful rainforest walks on the property as well as other nearby locations. We thoroughly enjoyed eating at the restaurant at Daintree Siesta for lunch and dinner. The food was delicious, the menu included a great selection of options and the owners were really friendly and accommodating. We took our own breakfast supplies and got a camp pack with bowls, plates, utensils etc at the reception desk. We also enjoyed chatting to some of the locals as well as other travellers around the camp fire. As an added bonus they had musicians playing on some of the nights. Overall we had a lovely holiday and appreciated the opportunity to immerse ourselves in the rainforest surroundings and unwind. Thanks Bruno and Tamara for our lovely stay. We will be back.

I recently stayed 2 nights at the Daintree Siesta in one of their cabins with my two kids. The location is absolutely wonderful, you are literally in the middle of the rainforest. The on-site restaurant was excellent, especially the Barramundi. In fact we ate better in the middle of the rainforest than we ate in Cairns. The owners of the family run business are very nice and provide good customer service and communication. The owner was telling me about the experience of being isolated for a couple of months after the cyclone earlier this year. They acted as a refuge centre to provide supplies for the community. Highly recommend this accommodation and this part of the world for your next vacation

Went up with a family of four, we booked two cabins rooms, they were very spacious and clean. It’s a lovely family business. Tamara, Nicolas and Natasha recommended some great tours and helped us plan where to go. Bruno is a great chef we had some lovely dinners at the restaurant. The location is amazing and has rainforest walking trails that you can do at night and in the day, the wildlife was surreal. Would highly recommended the visit.

Obviously family run business. Children working and not happy about it. Probably illegally selling alcohol too. Very poor reception. The kids obviously didn't want to be helping out the family business. Doubt the dad is even a cook. Food was dismal and over priced. Traveled many Australian tourist spots but Daintree areas milk the tourists dry with very little to offer. World class hardly. Little wonder Australians travel over seas. The place was clean is the only thing I could give credit too.

We spent two nights here in a site wonderfully surrounded by tall rainforest trees. It was a short walk to the clean conveniences and there was ample hot water. The second night we dined in the small restaurant overlooking more rainforest. The menu was small but interesting and the food was good and very good value. A friendly local was there with two rescued flying fox bats that were literally basket cases due to their damaged wings. He explained a lot about the bats as they helped themselves to snacks. After a while we were joined by our amiable hosts, Tamara and Bruno, and enjoyed their company until quite late.

Stunning location and well kept grounds. We stayed in a cabin which had everything we needed. Just ask at reception if you require a microwave or extra plates, cups etc. The option of dining in was perfect after a long day exploring! There are tracks through the property that are well worth the adventure, some beautiful fan palms and stranglers and you never know what wildlife you might be lucky enough to spot! A great base for exploring.
