Description
We are a family run eco lodge in the Daintree Rainforest ) providing adventurers with a jungle experience like no other. Set on 21acres of rainforest our place allows our guests and you to sleep right under the rainforest canopy experiencing the jungle up close and personal in a very friendly low key environment.
Digital detox and being at one with nature is our thing, with board games and chatting to each other our major evening pastimes. Morning we do a little bit of housekeeping and kitchen work in our cafe then head off to the pristine beaches and swimming holes for some chill out time. In the evening we host our guests.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
You will live right in the Daintree Rainforest, the oldest rainforest in the world and learn all about the trees and its inhabitants. It is an awesome area to explore with lots of activities both free and paid to take part in. Imagine swimming in tropical river holes, walking pristine beaches, hanging in the rainforest listening to the jungle vibes. Your language and social skills will also get a work out here chatting and engaging with all our lovely visitors who come from all over the world. Also a great place to get some exposure to different cultures as you engage with 'real aussie characters' who have chosen to live in this amazing part of the world.
Host offers payment in line with the minimum wage
This host offers accommodation and payment.
Help
We need people to help with basic housekeeping, dishwashing and a little bit of rainforest trimming here and there. No experience is necessary just a 'can do' attitude and a bright and cheery disposition.
During our low season we usually have a minimum 15hrs a week available and during the high season we have up to 20hrs a week available if you are willing. Hours of work are generally morning 9.30-12.30ish and evening 6-8ish. During low season we don't have paid employment available, we supply you with accommodation and food.
There is lots to do up here - paid activities like the Discovery Centre, icecream factories, are within walking distance. Other activities like crocodile cruises, reef trips, horseriding are too far away for walking so you would have to organise a lift with guests or arrange some other way to get there.

We are also a digital detox opportunity as no TV or mobile access (other than Optus) available just chatting to fellow travellers, reading books, playing pool, board games, and general old school stuff like that.
What else ...
To get to us you will need to catch a bus from Cairns (approx $50 each way) or bring your own car, we are 2.5hrs drive north of Cairns, 1hr north of Port Douglas. There are no shops up here, just lots of rainforest, beaches and friendly locals. Prefer people to stay at least two weeks

We spent three weeks under the rain forest canopy and had a great time. Steve and Sally are super friendly hosts and Sally makes delicious meals every night. This is the perfect place if you want to experience the rain forest as you are literally surrounded by nature. Just down the road is a magnificent beach (you can't swim because of crocodiles,… read more

This was our first workaway-experience and couldn't be better! We enjoyed doing the tables, housekeeping and cleaning. We were there two weeks and would loved to stay more, but our campervan was waiting for us in Cairns so we were not able to stay. There lot of things to do around (even better if you have a car) and it's a great place to just… read more

I spent a week or so here! It was a great experience to be able to spend some time in the rainforest and every day I was fascinated by some new creature going about. Thank you for having me and for the music also! I wish you all the best

My friend Solene and I volunteered for a week . The owners were away for a few months, and it was Pierre and Lelanie who were managing the place. They welcomed us very warmly and it was very easy to feel at ease with them and the other volunteers. We mainly did housekeeping, as it was what was needed when we were there. It's an easy job, that… read more

Spent a month here and had the most incredible time. Staying in the heart of the rainforest was the most wonderful experience, one I'll never forget. Would recommend volunteering here if you're after a laid back, unique experience submerged in the most beautiful nature I came across during my time in Australia. Would love to come back someday

We had a great stay at the resort. Sally and Steve don't make their Workawayers work very hard and we had a lot of free time to explore the surrounding area. We didn't have our own transport but we could lend their bikes and we also got some lifts from Lelani and Pierre. The food that Sally and Pierre cooked was awesome and we enjoyed the evening… read more

Wonderful experience in the middle of jungle. This lovely village of Sally and Steven is very pleasant.
Excellent place to learn more about the fascinating Daintree Rainforest and logout yourself.
The job is not hard and does not require any hostel competences.
I spend 2 great weeks here and met other nice helpers :)

I have to be honest and go to the daintree forest wasn't in my plans but was one of the best decisions in my trip here in Australia and one of the best experience in my life.... The resort is a magical place in which you can breath peace in the middle of the jungle. To be disconnect from the world for two weeks in this place made me connect with… read more

Anne Marie was a fabulous workawayer and she is still missed. Her attitude was always amazing and her work was great.
She was a delight to have around and really embraced the vibes at our place in the jungle, happily getting along with everybody while working away.
Love to have her back anytime and we wish her well in her travels and hopes and… read more
