This is a lovely and peaceful property. For those that are a bit concerned about ‘nature’ and creepy crawlers, please note outdoor toilet .. can be a bit confronting. We got used to it though. Host was prompt to assist when we had any issues (eg ran out of gas - which powers the oven and hot water service) . Lighting quite dim so a watch out at night as so dark here. It was lovely having g the windows open to listen to the rain on the tin roof.

Matt is a wonderful host. He made our experience in the Daintree very enjoyable. His knowledge of the area helped us have a great time. It was no trouble for him to make recommendations and bookings for us. I highly recommend the Epipthyte for anyone planning a holiday here

Great property, peaceful and deep into the forest. Comfy bedroom and clean. Awesome breakfast with an excellent fresh fruit plate!

Matt runs one of the coolest B&Bs in the world, and I say that with over 40 countries of travel experience. His story of building this wonderful place, his hospitality to share it with the world, and the natural beauty of the Daintree Rainforest surrounding it all makes for a thoroughly enjoyable jungle stay. The exotic fruit breakfasts and fun recommendations for things to do by Matt (for those who want more than just to luxuriate in his B&B) made the stay a very special experience for my wife and me.

This place has beautiful surroundings and made me feel relaxed the moment walk-in. It is close to the Daintree Discovery Center and was a good base for exploring the Daintree and Cape Tribulation area. The host Matt knows everything in the area and made helpful itinerary suggestions. Would highly recommend this place.
