Silky Oaks Lodge, Daintree Rainforest 

A pocket of wilderness perfection

Discover the tropical North Queensland at this Daintree Rainforest hideaway.

Experience the ancient wonder of the Daintree rainforest at this elevated eco lodge, where the clever design makes the most of the stunning views whilst being considerate of the natural environment.

The tranquillity of the rainforest and a variety of locally based treatments are the inspiration for the calming Healing Waters Spa. It’s the ideal way to unwind. But there’s plenty to do if you’re feeling active, too. Take a stroll along the riverbanks, hike to Figtree rapids, canoe down the Mossman River, join a guided rainforest walk or take an invigorating dip in a billabong.
