“Gerald made our visit absolutely memorable. We would strongly recommend a visit.”
+It is ideally situated to enjoy the Daintree Forest: only 5 minutes drive to Daintree Village and all the cruises and forest walks centred there ( and don’t forget the pub), and about 20 minutes drive to the Daintree Ferry and the Cape Tribulation road. It is perched on a hillside, surrounded by forest. Its architecture fits its surroundings perfectly, with huge living area contains many of Gerald’s woodwork objets d’arts, and an equally huge deck with magnificent 180 degree views up and down the Daintree valley. The kitchen and bedrooms are equally roomy and well appointed.
−Nothing of note: the drive was initially daunting but not a problem after Gerald showed the way.

“Very good”
+Beautiful view from the property of the valley.
−Unfortunately the slope driveway limited our ability to be independent (without a 4WD). We were fully dependent on Gerald to ferry us in and out each morning and afternoon, and whilst he was very accomodating, and willing - it wasn’t ideal.

“Magnificent views and relaxing retreat.”
+Gerald was an excellent host and assisted us in our itineraries for the Daintree Rainforest and Cape Tribulation. He knows the community well as hes been hosting for 25 years. If there was something we needed that was not already in the home, he was willing to assist. We wanted to stay longer! A real gem!

“Disappointing”
+The view from the verandah is amazing!
−Unfortunately the way the property is described does not match reality. The private residence that the host occupies is directly underneath the guest quarters and all activities from down there are audible upstairs (including his TV we had to ask to have turned down at bedtime) which means guest activities must be audible there too, and this is disconcerting! Random sexiest remarks about what ‘ladies prefer’ and comments about them safely having an outdoor bath naked as the closest neighbours don’t have binoculars were also very off-putting. Much of the space is either not well-maintained or clean including: - Hairs on pillows - Animal Poo on blankets in cupboard - Built-up Dust and spider webs inside cupboards. - Visible mould on furniture edges and architraves - Crumbs in fridge door shelves and utensil cupboards - Crockery dirty - Floors generally dirty After much anticipation of a relaxing stay this was all such a huge disappointment and we vacated the next morning, 2 days early.

“Absolutely incredible and peaceful place. A must stay!”
+The view and serenity from the deck and every room was incredible. Beautiful place, lovely accommodating host, and very relaxing.
−We didn't have a 4wd which meant we relied on Gerlad for rides which was a little restrictive. It didn't impact our stay too much.

“Superb”
+Scenic comfortable and unique accommodation. A unique home built creatively by the host Gerald has breathtaking views of the Daintree river. Peace and serenity with spectacular views make Cloud 9 a place you'll always remember of QLD's Daintree region. Also Gerald's local knowledge and recommendations for places to visit, activities to enjoy and eaterys to try, we were ALL very pleased with! Thankyou Gerald!
