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...

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.

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.

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?

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

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.

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.

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.

What a beautiful little beach bungalow right in the Daintree rainforest! It was clean, well presented and had absolutely everything we needed. It was wonderful falling asleep to the sound of the wildlife around! I would certainly recommend this for a place to stay

At the beginning when we check-in, even though the owner wasn't there, but they left the lovely message on the postcard to make us feel welcoming. The room is small but very lovely. Everything u can think about or u can't think about are all there prepare for u. Very close to the beach, and there is a cafe just cross the road. Too bad we were here to stay 1 night only, don't really have chance and time to use the BBQ. But definitely we will suggest everyone to stay here, and we will come back again.

Quite small room, but clean. The beach is actually on the other side of the road, as we expected the bungalow to be on the beach.

Location was fantastic! Beautiful beach across the road. The host was friendly and helpful. We got discount coupons, a voucher for the ferry ride back and free WiFi which is an amazing deal for the area. Plenty of hot water! Private covered BBQ spot on outdoor patio. The grounds were nice.

Great location and a good base to explore the local area. Beach and cafe across the road. Knowledgable host.
Cabin is on the small side so not a lot of room for luggage. Not a problem and easy to leave some in the car if necessary. Because of the remoteness of the area, I imagine most people would have a car.

I made the mistake of only booking this place for one night. The accommodations were as expected. Karen and Drew did a great job describing the bungalow on their Hotels.com description. They were quick to greet and respond via email. They were accommodating, warm, friendly, and Drew gave me a nice rundown of all that Cape Tribulation and the surrounding areas have to offer. One of the coolest features of this booking is the beach located through some trees directly in front of the bungalow. You get great views of nature including: an island, the rainforest, a mountain peak and an inlet. I’ll be sure to book again.
There’s so many beautiful sights to see. I’d advise booking several days here and a 4X4 so that you can venture further into the rainforest. Daintree Rainforest and it’s beaches have now become my new favorite place in the world. The mix of landscapes—rainforest, mountains, beaches—is truly breathtaking.
The buildings in the Daintree Rainforest are largely dependent on solar power. Go here if you want to experience nature. Put away the phones and tablets—mobile service is extremely limited as is WiFi availability—sit back and enjoy the nature show. Some beach fronts have intermittent service. This is a great place to get off the grid.
Lastly, the drive (RT 44) to Thornton Beach Bungalows from Cairns, is one of the most beautiful scenic drives you’ll ever take with ocean overlooks on your right and rainforests on the left. Bring a camera.

Small but well equipped and comfortable. Clean and good condition. Good location just across from the beach and cafe.
Only small downside was the tight squeeze of the shower stall. Great for short stays. Hosts very friendly and helpful.

A really clean and comfortable bungalow, right on the beach and right in the centre of the cape tribulation coastline, making it really easy to get everywhere. There's bbq facilities and a fridge, with cutlery etc - so we enjoyed having breakfast on the beach & watching the sunrise most days :) You can hear the sounds of the jungle and the crashing waves at night - so quiet and peaceful! The owners (Drew & Karen) were really friendly and helpful with getting tours booked for us, as well as recommending things to do locally. A truly fantastic stay in paradise! Thank you for a great stay!

Great location and value. A stroll away from the beach and had everything we needed for an overnight stay.

One night stay as part of FNQ tour. Was exactly as expected from research and reviews. Compact, fully self contained one bedroom cabin in the midst of the Daintree forest. Just across the road from a wide sandy beach with views north to the Cape. Cafe across the road has seasonal openning and closing hours , check there if you intend to take advantage of this option. Otherwise several kms drive to Cow Bay for local hotel for meals and drinks.
Owners responded to email enquiries quickly and with the required information. They live off site and make arrangements for your arrival no matter what time that is. Well done.

Great location, if you want a stunning, secluded beach this is it.
Bungalows are small but cosy, easy to get to all activities based in the Daintree.

Charming little bungalow just across road from the pristine, nearly deserted Thornton Beach. Everything you need including a small frig and dishes in room. Tiny but quite an experience to be in such a gorgeous, ancient environment--rainforest is over 135 million year old, one of a few oases to survive the Ice Age. Restaurant across road on the beach was very convenient for breakfast or a reasonable fish and chips meal. Star-gazing at night is superb and warm sea water is perfect for a swim. Glad I didn't see the "Caution--crocodiles on the beach" sign until after our swim!
