We were looking for somewhere decent that had clean amenities, good coffee and a light snack. Lync Haven had so much more! A lovely ambience, friendly staff, reasonable priced and an extensive range of wildlife that you don't have to pay to see. Definitely recommend stopping in for a bite. Look for the fairy lights and the orange banners.

Scott & Jodie were the perfect hosts! We enjoyed a wonderful stay at Lync Haven and experienced some wonderful rainforest experiences which we will always remember. Our daughter loved feeding the kangaroos and wallabies and enjoyed seeing Doris the crocodile being fed. We will be back again next year to catch meet up with the friendly faces again! We are...

The grounds are large and very pretty. The camping area was beautiful as well.Very quiet at night , just lovely. The reception area is... More

It's gonna take time to get to the hotel from the highway- across the daintree river and along a curvy road- but it is well worth it. Bungalows are clean and large. There is a small zoo with several kangaroos, some small crocs, numerous snakes and many birds. You can eat here- no need to drive somewhere. And we definitely... More

Food was very good, nothing to say. Nevertheless the waitress must hate children the way she behaves. Either you put chains on your kids or you avoid them OR they change the way they talk to children. The place itself is nice with a good exhibition on local animals, nice birds and baby crocs. Food is correctly priced.

The Lync-haven restaurant is a must do if in the area. Lunch and Dinner is of very high quality and value for money. While you are waiting for your meal, you can browse the various wildlife. There are souvenirs to buy and a wall of pamphlets for all the information on the local area.

Stayed in a campervan for just one night. Have given it 3 stars only because amenities are basic,ie no hot water in gents, was in ladies and very basic camp kitchen. But that aside, loved the place. Great reception, very helpful and friendly. Lots to see and do, talk to Barron the Sulphur Crested Cockatoo!, look at snakes and see... More

We really enjoyed our 2 night stay at Lync Haven. The owner runs a small wildlife park on his property. It was fun to see the Kangaroos and Wallabies hopping in the back yard front of your bedroom window. The owner also showed his crocodile (which lives in a safe enclosure in the back of the property). The rooms were... More

Camped at Lync Haven for New Year's Eve. Very quiet, peaceful and clean. We saw a cassowary and her two chicks both mornings which was amazing! My only comment would be the owner was a little cranky which soured the trip. Perhaps it was because he worked all through the break! Relaxed, family friendly camping.
