Daintree Siesta Restaurant
Slow Travel Dining
in the heart of the rainforest
Take a moment to pause. You’re in the middle of one of the world’s oldest living rainforests—lush, untamed and bursting with life. Our on-site licensed restaurant offers the perfect place to relax while exploring Cape Tribulation and the Daintree.
Nestled in Diwan on Cape Tribulation Road, our tropical outdoor setting is rustic, relaxed and unpretentious—just how we like it here.
Choose a shaded outdoor table surrounded by palms and birdsong. Whether you’re here for a lunch break or a long, slow dinner, this is food that fills and atmosphere that lingers.
📍 We’re located 30 minutes north of the Daintree River Ferry and less than 30 minutes south of Cape Tribulation.

dishes inspired by good, simple flavours with a variety of choices.

Enjoy sitting outside undercover, surrounded by palms and rainforest trees and chatting about your day’s adventures exploring the ancient Daintree Rainforest.
During the cooler months, guests can gather around the communal firepit to sip, chat and share stories under the stars. It’s laid-back, cosy and pure Daintree.
