Luxury Holidays At Silky Oaks Lodge

Estimated at 180-million years old, the Daintree Rainforest is regarded as the oldest in the world, and it’s here in Tropical North Queensland where this much-revered rainforest meets the World Heritage-listed Great Barrier Reef. In the midst of this incredible eco-system lies Silky Oaks Lodge, a beautiful retreat which lies gently on the land and offers very real sense of place. Within easy reach are Port Douglas, Cape Tribulation and to the west, the cool plains of the Atherton Tablelands, the frontier that divides the coast from the vast Queensland Outback. 40 luxurious suites wind their way through the rainforest canopy which shimmers with the iridescent blue of the Ulysses butterfly, down to the Mossman River, boasting shady verandas with swaying hammocks and outdoor bathtubs offering sumptuous spaces to relax amongst this ancient landscape. A range of included lodge-based signature experiences have been designed to connect guests with the people and the land on which the lodge sits and includes guided walks, yoga, and river explorations. Dining takes place against the backdrop of the rainforest, showcasing the abundance of fresh produce that this region is famed for and you can expect flashes of indigenous flair too. There’s also an exceptional day spa where guests can allow the wild beauty of the rainforest to sooth the mind, body, and soul.
