Long regarded as Tropical North Queensland’s luxury bolthole, Silky Oaks Lodge overlooks the gently flowing Mossman River and neighbours the World Heritage-listed wilderness of the Daintree National Park. The property offers guests a peaceful retreat set amongst the rainforest treetops and easy access to adventures in the region’s spectacular natural attractions, including the Daintree, Mossman Gorge, the Great Barrier Reef and Cape Tribulation. Guests can discover the rainforest’s ‘natural supermarket’ on tours led by First Nations Kuku Yalanji guides or relax to the flow of the river in the Healing Waters Spa.

At Silky Oaks Lodge, 40 luxury treehouse-style suites welcome in the sights and sounds of the Daintree Rainforest. A Baillie Lodges-led reimagining of the treetop hideaways brings a fresh, contemporary spin on the classic ‘Queenslander’ with signature clean lines, generous appointments and pared back, refined luxury. Stepping outside, generous verandahs open to the gloriously verdant rainforest and feature the essential tropical accessory: an inviting hammock ready to sway in the afternoon breeze. Silky Oaks Lodge welcomes children ten years and over.

The Wet Tropics World Heritage Area has so much to offer and guests can tailor-design an itinerary including special interest tours to discover the mysteries of the ancient rainforest and richly diverse tropical landscape. While the riverside setting at Silky Oaks Lodge invites leisurely pursuits on-site including yoga, self-guided walks and river explorations.
