The accommodation is basic and the grounds pictured represent a distant memory of what it once was before it was neglected during the pandemic. I hope the new owners can breathe new life (money and hard work) into a beautiful place that was once and could be amazing again.

My family of 5 spent 1 night in one of the family rooms at the Lync-Haven Rainforest Retreat during a family holiday to far north Queensland. First the good: This lodge conveniently located near key Daintree attractions like the Daintree River, Jindalba Boardwalk, and Discovery Centre. The lodge also has an on-site restaurant, which we didn't use, but appeared to have reasonably-priced meals. The resort also had some (poorly maintained) rainforest trails throughout the property as well as a wallaby enclosure. The not-so-good: IMO, the biggest issue with the accommodation was the price, given the budget quality of the room. The 'cabin' was a small studio room with budget quality furnishings and a cramped toilet/shower area. The rooms had no kitchen equipment so you couldn't prepare meals. There was no WiFi on the premises for customers, nor was there any cell signal. However, the staff had access to WiFi which they were unwilling to share even in the reception or restaurant area. I expect more for AUD 210 per night.

Very Wet Two Days in the Rain Forest
We Booked a 2 night Stay in the Rainforest . The rain Came with us and was there for 2 days Rain and More Rain . Due to the fact the motel units were in the rainforest the Air condition Had to be going all the time as the room would full up with water ! so this made the room very cold . The Meals were on for only 1 night out of the 2 and were very good . The Place has been let to run down a bit but we were ok .

The restaurant/cafe was a real hub. As a solo traveler I was quickly made to feel welcome by the hosts and other guests. They really care deeply for the animals that reside there too. This was a feature!

Highly recommended place to stay with a fun and interesting animal adventure. The hotel was large with its own walking track to explore. The owner was friendly and attentive with the accommodation.

Awesome eco resort, great little cabin!
Fantastic family friendly hotel with proprietors who truly care about animals. Food is reasonably priced and yummy. Lots of parking. Great hiking trails on property - although right out our back door was a wallaby enclosure with rescued wallabies they were rehabilitating before release. Cabin was clean and roomy with a fridge. No wifi. No cell phone service. This place is off the grid. Enjoy!

2/10 Poor

When we arrived at checkin, they couldn’t find a ur reservation. We were give keys and went to our room. As soon as I stepped in, I could barely breath because of the musty dampness. The room did not looked decorated like those in the pictures : it havd different decorating and different bed configuration. It was very dirty. There were hundreds of bugs on the floor, many pieces of hair in the floor, and what looked like conditioner on the shower wall. I went right back to checkin and asked for a refund. They refused. She said I had to contact Expedia, but there was no WiFi and no phone signal in the area. She was rather abrupt and mean. She did not apologize or offer to clean the room. She did give me another room- grudgingly. This room was still musty, had many bugs and I could see large cracks around the ac unit where bugs could get in. We stayed somewhere else and lost our money. It was a very bad experience. Plus we felt it was cruel the way they keep their animals caged.

6/10 Good

We arrived a couple of days after a tropical storm with some fairly heavy rain and flooding, but the room was nevertheless clean, tidy and spacious given the location. Negatives: As other reviewers have said, there isn't actually any wifi in the lobby. Also we did have ants in our room, which they were apologetic about and had a fair go at getting rid of them, and they probably fairly blamed it on the site having been partially flooded a few days before. Positives: There is a varied menu at the restaurant, and the dishes we had tasted good. We didn't get a chance to see the wallabies but they do have some pet parrots which add a bit of entertainment. We also saw some bats while we were eating our dinner on the veranda, so you can definitely tell you are in the rainforest!

Great area disappointing accommodation
The stay at Lync Haven was somewhat disappointing. Firstly, the facilities need to be amended. They DO NOT provide WiFi in reception. We were told this was an old system. I would not have booked if I’d known before going. Secondly, the room does not provide great value for money. The room was basic. Sadly it was not overly clean and there was a hefty service charge for cleaning. Thirdly, they offer a forest walk within their grounds, however, this proved inaccessible and poorly signed. The Rainforest National Park is a spectacular place to visit. Tourist attractions are good. Before you cross the river do stock up with some basics, like water, snacks, beer, wine, petrol etc as stocks are limited locally and expensive.
