Luxury hotel holiday Silky Oaks Lodge Queensland

A graceful and tranquil retreat overlooking the idyllic Mossman River, Silky Oaks Lodge is situated on the edge of the World Heritage Daintree Rainforest. Nestled amongst the trees, the resort's buildings perfectly complement the natural surroundings, with the use of wood both inside and out creating an understated tropical feel. There are two types of accommodation: the Treehouses are set in the trees and have wall to ceiling glass doors that open onto a private veranda. The Riverhouses have beautiful riverfront locations, and have oversized spa baths with rainforest views. Televisions are not found in any of the rooms. Meals are served in the Treehouse Restaurant, which has an innovative menu that changes nightly and makes use of the freshest local produce. Guests can explore the rainforest on a complimentary guided walk, snorkel in the river, or take the scheduled daily transfer service to and from Port Douglas. Further facilities are available at an extra charge, including Aboriginal tours and scenic helicopter flights over the Mossman Gorge and the Great Barrier Reef. The spa offers treatments that reflect the environment, inspired by ancient Aboriginal wisdom and using native botanicals. This is a beautiful retreat with an excellent array of activities.
