Loved our stay in the jungle! Great food at the cafe. Snorkelling the Great Barrier Reef was amazing—make sure you rent a wetsuit to avoid a bad burn! Room was clean & ensuite bathroom was great. Loved sitting out on the little porch in the evenings.

My Safari Lodge was on the edge of the jungle and incorporated the jungle into my room with open shutters enhancing the feel. It was modern, very comfortable and clean.
We had wonderful lunches and all the attractions were within easy driving distance.

Pretty good value for king cabin (shared bathroom). Common areas are kept clean. Quite easy to go to various walks although would need a car. Should book tours in advance as they sold out. Also should eat at Turtle Rock cafe, the food is great there.

Paradise in the jungle
Our stay at Safari Lodge was amazing!
Our cabin was very clean, & was big enough for 3 of us for 3 nights.
The amenities were clean and close by. The camp kitchen also close by and a lovely spot to chat with other visitors.
We loved the gardens and pool area, and just a short walk through the forest to the beach.
Make sure to grab a bite at Turtle Rock cafe, and highly recommend booking a tour with Ocean Safari.
Everything you need right at your doorstep.
We’d love to return one day to this amazing part of the world.

We loved the staff, they were super lovely, flexible, and had lots of local info.
the king safari rooms were nice, clean and renovated; place is next to the direct beach access and the on-site Turtle Rock Cafe had yummy fresh food.
Stay here!

Love the new ensuite cabins
The king ensuite cabin added that little bit of luxury whilst still being in a camping community setting - so happy we stayed there, and actually wish we’d stayed another night!

Beautiful place, loved everything about it. Just one thing was the ensuite showers. Hardly any pressure at all and not that we needed it with the heat and humidity but the water didn’t get warm while showering.
