Expedia appears to have booked me into the hotel when it was closed off

We had to disrupt the night manager only to find out we had not been allocated a room for the night

When a room was finally allocated the manager assumed we only needed one bed when I had specifically ordered a room with 2 beds as I was travelling with my adult daughter

My daughter slept partly on the floor and partly upside down on the edge of the bed which made the night difficult when it should not have been

The manager confirmed the next day that the bu hole was all to do with Expedia.

Stayed one night. Location is beautiful, quiet, peaceful, rustic. Beachfront location right in the middle of the rainforest. Loved the restaurant meals - beautifully cooked, served by friendly staff right in the middle of the rainforest and by the pool. Reception staff also friendly & helpful. Room is cabin style with own bathroom and fridge tea/coffee. Cleanliness of our room was unfortunately average at best and room looked far nicer in the resort photos than the one we stayed in. Double bed sagged in the middle, so this was a very uncomfortable nights sleep for us :( [management was advised so hopefully they will do something about that. Our room was Escape 1]. regarding value for $ We stayed elsewhere on our trip and for the same price ($250/night) rented a lovely fully appointed apartment and a beachhouse so our feeling is that the pictured quality of this room was over-promoted/over priced for what we received. having said that, the location is beautiful.

Most convenient place in Cape Tribulation. Lovely place. Love the beach access. Room was generally good, but the bathroom, namely the shower area, could do with a renovation. Nature sounds are fine, it’s where you are, but the walls are not soundproof: you can hear the people outside. The air-conditioner was noisy too.

An awful stay

We were not able to enjoy our 2 night stay and left after the first night. This is partly down to the weather with torrential rain adding to the humidity. The A/C in the room just could not get the room cool enough and our entire suitcase eof clothes ended up damp. We were not able to get a good night's sleep and opted to abandon our stay. The receptionist had little interest in our plight and no concern for our early departure or offer to change our room for one with better A/c. We may have been unlucky with the weather but I would still give this lodge a miss as they are disinterested in their guests. In our 60 day trip round Aus /NZ this was sadly our worst stay.

An interesting experience but one night is enough.
This is well located at the start of the wilderness area but there is very little to see and do for someone like me who spent 20 years on the beach and in the jungle in Malaysia.
The place is small and basic but clean and the food at the restaurant is quite good. It is just about value for money.
One complaint is that the admin/ mgmnt did not reply to questions I had earler asked about the road condition and likelihood of a long wait at the ferry........ both of which turned out to be OK.

Huts nestled into lush rainforest, Cape Tribulation Beach House is a real escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. You are forced to disconnect from everything as there is no Wifi or even television. The restaurant serves a good variety of reasonably priced food and the pool is a refreshing dip under a green canopy. Pack earplugs though as the adjoining rooms can be a bit noisy.

Check sheets when you check in

I booked this place for our family for a single night so wasn’t fussy about it. The location is great as you’re in the nature with lots of wild life, we saw pigs, cassowaries and other wild life. The accommodation is basic so don’t expect much. One of the beds in our room didn’t have the bed sheets changed as they had sand / hair on them from a previous guest. I hope this was a mistake.

This was a terrible experience we stayed at the most expensive cabin they had and it was dreadful very small cabin with ancient small bathroom with dirty grouting almost no where to hang the towels the mattress is in bad it need of replacing by 11.00 pm we had to get out of bed as both of our backs became sore.
The room had no chairs to sit on they had them on the patio to keep company with the numerous spiders
let’s not mention the kettle the interior was absolutely filthy even if we wanted to make coffee they only had three satchels but we could not take a risk with it.

Now for the goos staff

NO Television
NO Internet of any sort
NO connection to Mobile phone when one kilometre down the road you got it all
So what do you do after dark well nothing as the tide in all the way up thus making walking on the sand impossible

It’s a lovely location and it can be pleasant but they need to knock it all down and start all over again to pay just under $340 p.n and get this, unacceptable
