Ferntree Rainforest Lodge & Hotel Review

When considering a stay in the breathtaking Cape Tribulation, Australia, Ferntree Rainforest Lodge & Hotel - with its own onsite Cassowary Restaurant, stands out as an exceptional choice for travelers seeking a unique blend of comfort and immersive natural experience.

Located at 36 Camelot Cl, Cape Tribulation QLD 4873, this lodge offers a serene getaway right in the heart of the world-famous Ferntree Rainforest. Its prime location not only provides easy access to stunning natural wonders but also ensures that guests can unwind in a tranquil environment surrounded by lush vegetation and rich biodiversity.

The Ferntree Rainforest Lodge & Hotel boasts a range of accommodations, each designed to offer comfort and privacy with a touch of luxury. The highlight, however, is undoubtedly the onsite Cassowary Restaurant, where diners can enjoy a specialty menu featuring local Australian cuisine, including dishes showcasing the region's unique wildlife. This restaurant is not just a place to eat but an experience in itself, offering visitors a chance to learn about and appreciate the local fauna.

For those looking to immerse themselves further in the natural beauty of the area, the lodge's location makes it ideally suited for exploring Cape Tribulation and its surrounding national parks. The average opinion on platforms like Google My Business is a commendable 4.1/5, reflecting consistently high guest satisfaction across various aspects of the stay, from the accommodations to the service.

The lodge's website (ferntreerainforesthotel.com) provides a wealth of information, including details about its facilities, packages, and how to book a stay. Prospective guests should take note of the lodge’s policies, especially concerning its onsite wildlife interactions, which can be both educational and thrilling.

Given its high ratings and the unique opportunity to dine with Cassowaries (though with safety in mind, as these birds are powerful predators), Ferntree Rainforest Lodge & Hotel is a top recommendation for anyone looking to experience Australia's natural beauty in a memorable way. Whether you're a nature enthusiast, a wildlife lover, or simply seeking a luxurious yet rustic retreat, this lodge offers an experience that combines luxury with authenticity.

Contact less reception on arrival but that was mentioned in confirmation email,
Air-conditioning and ceiling fan appreciated, and the room was tidy and clean.
Basic toiletries, but expected that.
Tried the pool, despite not being able to see the bottom, very milky looking, full of leaves and not even sure that the filtration was running. But it was that hot needed to cool down.
At that point did not realize that there was no hot water at all in our freestanding cabin, despite running the hot tape only. Only found that out after the swim when wanting to get washed and clean after the swim.
If you don't mind a cold shower, not too bad.
Nice dinner in the restaurant.

We stayed at this hotel for 2 nights as a family of 4. Our Children are 14 and 10. ||This hotel is set in the middle of the rainforest and is a beautiful setting. The lady on reception is lovely and really helpful. She arranged some trips for us and provided towels to take. ||We stayed in a lodge with an annex which the kids loved. You are surrounded by wildlife which is amazing and the pool is like a tropical paradise. |The restaurant provided an excellent selection of food and the quality was amazing. The owner works really hard and goes above and beyond. ||If you’re looking for a 5* hotel then this is not for you but if your looking to be at one with nature in the rainforest this is a magical experience. The beach is also a 5 min walk away. Highly recommend the ocean safari snorkelling with is 5 mins away and the night walk to see the creepy crawlies!

Good place to stay re location. The hotel was right in the rain forest and not far from the Cape. Staff very helpful, and friendly. The accommodation was roomy, comfortable and clean. The stairs to the loft were a bit steep. We had to be. Careful, particularly coming down. The room smelt mostly on entering. We thought it might be mould as the accommodation is situated in th rain forest. Bathroom well equipped and very nice outdoor area.

Loved it except for the pool was very green, we unfortunately couldn't swim in it.. other than that, the rooms where very unique and I enjoyed the experience alot. The location is also very good 👍 the price could be a little cheaper due to no wifi and the pool being dirty, but we are already planning to go back as we enjoyed the area so much. Definitely felt in touch with nature and the forest.

We spent 12 nights in a garden loft and enjoyed our rest days at the lodge just as much as we enjoyed the days out exploring. The pool, lobby, restaurant and winding forest paths through the accomodation areas are so picturesque. The staff are friendly and they respect your privacy.
If you are used to 5 star luxury accomodation, then the rooms may disappoint, but it is more than made up by the magic setting to relax and experience the rainforest right from the comfort of your balcony.
Our family experienced a magical, relaxing getaway, far away from the hustle and bustle.

Restaurant and bar staff were great other than that we didn’t see any other staff during our stay. The rooms are basic and yes there is a smell but you’re in the rainforest and remote so we weren’t expecting a five star resort with all the luxury. Enjoyed the extra time up at cape tribulation which the stay here afforded.

It is such a beautiful location and the staff are working very hard to ensure their guests are looked after. The three star review is in no way diminishing the friendliness of the staff or their willing to serve. It is simply to say that having no restaurant open in the mornings, and randomly closed at night is not what is promoted. Also having a pool that is randomly closed is also an issue. The staff seem very overworked currently and maybe there needs to be a little more updating of the website to show amenities that may be compromised currently.

immediately we noticed that there are zero path lights, despite it being pitch black when we checked in. mind you they seem to have some but are not turned on. we walked into our room hoping to have a relaxing time, but i immediately discovered that there were bugs in the room, one two bugs on our bed and six ants scattered about with the one or two spider. i understand that the location is a hard place to get bugs away but they didn’t even close one of our windows, so all the bugs were allowed in. they have zero fly screens allowing them free entry, one of the most frustrating things was seeing spider webs and cob webs scattered about. this place is not worth your money stay somewhere that actually cares and does something instead of replying to reviews.
