Friendly hosts, excellent accommodation, highly recommended.

Great little holiday cottage opposite the beach.

Great stay

Very happy with the bungalow we had. It was perfect for a couple and we loved being in the rainforest. It was clean and the bed was comfortable. The hosts were also great. Our flight was delayed and we were arriving later than anticiapted but they were able to accommodate a later check in on short notice. Our gps was taking us further than the actual bungalow but there was signage so we found it easily even in the dark. I think the highlight of us staying here was being woken up by a cassowary right by our car.

Very pleasant placebto stay. It feels like another world at night as it was directly in nature. Property was easy to find and thought right on the road, it was quiet. Wish we stayed longer

Lovely bungalow right on the water. Comfortable bed with everything we needed. Thank you.

Set directly across the road from the beach and cafe, the bungalows have a lovely calmness. No 240 volt power is a blessing and the owners are very generous with their time.

Beautiful location in rainforest opposite an isolated beach. Environmentally responsible. Peaceful.

Despite the drizzly weather we had a fabulous time at Thornton Beach Bungalows. Dean was wonderful to talk to and was a "wealth of information!" We look forward to returning. Peta & Dave

Exceptional stay at Thornton Beach

Loved my stay at Thornton Beach. Appreciate the hosts getting in touch before my stay to let me know about the check-in process. There are only 2 bungalows so it's nice and peaceful, and so lovely to sleep with the sound of the waves crashing on the beach across the road. There's not much in the area and I drove to Cape Tribulation (roughly 30 minutes) to get dinner. The eco-friendly lodge runs on renewable solar power. There's a bbq outside, and a small lantern to use outside once it gets dark. The hosts were also really helpful in the morning with information about local hikes and activities to do in the area. Thank you, I would love to stay here again!

Beautiful jungle setting just across the road from Thornton beach. Bungalow was small, but clean and tidy with good outdoor cooking facilities. Camp chairs are umbrellas a nice touch. Wifi problematic, which the owner was trying to resolve. Maybe provide some beach towels for longer stays?
Peter, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Beautifully done tiny house. Unfortunately it was raining during our stay and we could not take full advantage of the outside seating and cooking/BBQ area. Many nice little touches and attention to detail by the friendly owner. Beach just metres away and a restaurant just across the road. Would not recommend the restaurant!! Not sure about the food but the owner was snappier than the local crocodiles.

Holiday Paradise

Very pleasant. Friendly caring host who is willing to help and guide. "Comprehensive care" I would say. Apart from baseline utensils and goods, there are extra: 2 umbrellas already at the front door ready to be used, a torch (in working order - in the bedside table) if need at night, kitchen and dinner table organised as BBQ under cover + trees in front of the bungalow with full kitchen utensils in the plastic tub etc...

Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit bei Dean und Jodie in einem Bungalow mitten im Regenwald. Der Bungalow hat alles was man braucht und even more. Haben die regelmäßigen Unterhaltungen und Tipps mit und von den Gastgebern sehr genossen und haben uns in 6 Tagen dort super erholt - und nebenbei den Daintree Rainforest erkundet. WLAN in der Unterkunft war super - Kontakt nach daheim und auch weitere Planung unserer Reise war jederzeit möglich. Eines der Highlights war der Kasuari an einem der Tage mitten im Garten , aber auch der Bruthügel eines huhnähnlichen Vogels (scrub fowl) gleich neben dem Bungalow war total spannend. Je nach Regenmenge bekommt man nachts auch ein Regenwaldkonzert :)

Conveniently located around the Cape Tribulation, and just stone throw away from the pristine Thornton Beach. The cafe is just right across the road. It’s a small and cosy accommodation with a great view of the night stary sky away from the brightly lighted city. Eco friendly place with no air con but the weather is cool and air fresh.

Room with a view

The bungalow was clean but a bit smaller than expected. You could see Thornton Beach from our patio and at night you could hear the calming sounds of the ocean. We did enjoy our stay here.
