Itineraries

This is an impressive selection of three diverse lodges and destinations reflecting the vibrant colours of Queensland and several unique World Heritage regions. From the brilliant terracotta’s of the outback, the soothing, dense greens of The Daintree rainforest and the intense blues of the ocean and Great Barrier Reef, these three landscapes are seamlessly combined into one very easy to plan itinerary. As an extension to this colourful experience also consider a visit to Spicers Peak Lodge at the beginning of the itinerary.

The Australian landscape today is a map of the spirits’ journeys and stories handed down through the generations often through song and dance. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander hosts and guides are keen to share their stories and give an insight into their cultures, which is often delivered with an engaging humour and deeply moving perspective.

In today’s busy world, taking time out to relax is acknowledged and revered as one of life’s true luxuries. At Australia’s Luxury Lodges, pristine natural environments combine with outstanding spas to create a healing escape. Walk barefoot on the beach, breathe and stretch with yoga, eavesdrop on soothing rainforest sounds, and rejuvenate with some of the best spa treatments in the land, immersed in the peace and tranquillity of our most spectacular Australian landscapes.

This itinerary embraces Tropical North Queensland’s luxury trifecta, a complementary contrast between rainforest, reef and outback with the ease of access via Cairns, the gateway to northern Queensland. The itinerary features three diverse lodges reflecting the vibrant colours of Queensland, and proximity to irreplaceable World Heritage sites.

World Heritage listed national parks and wilderness areas encompassing mountain ranges, sun drenched beaches, ancient refugial rainforests and colourful reefs are synonymous with the beauty of this island nation Australia. This itinerary offers an introduction to Australia’s diverse and protected landscapes without having to travel far, as each lodge within this itinerary is located in Queensland.

Cairns is well-known and loved as a northern Queensland gateway. What is less known is how easy it is to combine the contrast between rainforest and outback in two astounding destinations both within 35mins (by air) or 2.5 hours by road from Cairns.
