Silky Oaks Lodge features on the cover of the current issue of Australian Traveller magazine, encapsulating the essence of ‘Going Guilt Free’. In this story by Imogen Everson, the community centred and environmentally sensitive operations at Silky Oaks are a stand out for the conscious traveller.

“From Longitude 131º at Uluru Kata Tjuta to Capella Lodge on Lord Howe Island, each property in the Baillie Lodges portfolio of sustainable luxury retreats in unique wilderness destinations is designed to minimise its impact on the local environment and utilise the best available technology to reduce energy consumption and waste. It has a Travel For Good philosophy that considers the four touchstones of natural environment, local community, culture and heritage and people (staff development and wellbeing) in all its operations. This translates at Silky Oaks Lodge in numerous ways, ranging from the refillable water bottles you are issued on arrival for use on outdoor activities to the free-range, organic produce that ends up on your plate (and hasn’t travelled far at all). And from the clever architectural design that minimises energy consumption (such as its guest treehouses being set high above the Mossman River and among the rainforest canopy, with deep verandahs and wide doors that invite cool breezes and reduce the need for air conditioning), to the connections fostered with Kuku Yulanji Country’s Traditional Owners and their genuine passion for their job and environment conveyed by all staff members at the lodge.” – Imogen Everson, Australian Traveller magazine.
