The retreat
While all Whole Hearted Medicine retreats focus heavily on guiding you towards mindful and sustainable self care in the busy world of medicine, this particular retreat does this with an emphasis on immersing yourself in nature.
Educational talks are held outside on the waterfall platform where possible providing a beautiful rainforest backdrop for meditations and reflections creating a rich sensory experience. Gentle yoga, morning meditations and a guided walk through the ancient rainforest are also all included in the timetable to help you to slow down and tune into what your body and mind need.
The location
The Daintree Ecolodge is the perfect destination to reconnect with nature. Believed to be over 180 million years old, and the oldest tropical lowland rainforest on earth, the Daintree Rainforest is a rare jewel in the crown of Mother Nature, where lush tropical rainforest meets sweeping white sand beaches and fringing coral reefs.
The Ecolodge features a main lodge, a rainforest restaurant and dining area overlooking the onsite lagoon, the Daintree Wellness Spa, a refreshing swimming pool, private and pristine onsite waterfall and swimming hole, and a multitude of quiet areas amongst the lush tropical rainforest to relax and unwind.
Fresh, clean water from the purest source combined with organic, healthy foods guarantees an uplifting and sustainable getaway.

Accomodation details
The Daintree is a truly unique region and all bayans (treehouses) at the Ecolodge are nestled amongst the canopy of the world’s oldest living rainforest. Each bayan embraces the rainforest surroundings with an open plan setting and micro-screened balconies to ensure you feel as close to nature as possible while still being able to enjoy the creature comforts of a boutique hotel offering.
Accommodation options include:
Single room ($6950 + gst per person)
Twin share room ($4950 + gst per person)
All rooms have their own bar fridge complete with tea and coffee making facilities with each bedroom having a ceiling fan and reverse cycle air conditioning.
No TV or Wi-Fi in the bayans ensures you’ll see and hear the sounds of nature, creating an unforgettable rainforest encounter.
Getting there
The Daintree Ecolodge is located 90 minutes north of Cairns, on one of Australia’s most spectacular drives. Departing Cairns on the Captain Cook Highway, follow the signs along the sealed coastal drive towards Port Douglas, Mossman and Daintree Village. The lodge is nestled on the southern banks of the impressive Daintree river so a ferry crossing is not required.
The Ecolodge is in a stunning but isolated area of far north QLD and there are not any Uber's or other ride share facilities in the Daintree itself. Self driving is the preferred option to get to the retreat, especially if you would like to explore the area in your spare time and free on-site parking is available for guests. Should you prefer a pre organised transfer, there are a variety of different transfer options available to the Ecolodge, including those facilitated by the Ecolodge itself (contact details below).
