A Two Michelin Key-awarded property, Silky Oaks Lodge lies encased by the exuberant foliage of the Daintree Rainforest on the tranquil banks of the Mossman Gorge River. 40 timber-built luxury treehouses are replete with contemporary furnishings and spacious interiors, with private deck areas peering out across the evocative rainforest surrounds and the serene waters of the Mossman River. Elsewhere at the property, an open-air restaurant and bar basks in the stunning vistas, creating an extraordinary backdrop for relaxed fine dining that showcases modern Australian cuisine elevated with Mediterranean and Asian flair.

For a restorative wellbeing experience, the award-winning Healing Waters Spa offers a range of holistic treatments inspired by ancient beliefs, with six tranquil treatment rooms boasting soul-soothing rainforest or river views. For immersion in the natural environment, guests can discover the rainforest’s ‘natural supermarket’ of herbs and medicinal plants during explorative excursions led by First Nations Kuku Talanji guides, following winding trails that lead through the dense rainforest. Other richly rewarding experiences at the resort include yoga classes, e-bike adventures, cultural insights with indigenous communities and further-afield excursions that incorporate the marine spectacle of the Great Barrier Reef.
