“I Do” in Paradise: The Ultimate Guide to Destination Weddings and Tropical Honeymoons.
Matt Turner of Luxury Travel Advisor profiles Silky Oaks Lodge as a tropical wedding venue ~
“Silky Oaks Lodge, located in Daintree National Park in Queensland, Australia makes for a memorable and less-expected alternative.
Silky Oaks Lodge offers several venues for weddings, with the Marrdja Pavilion — a covered, open-air space for 60 guests (or 82 for a cocktail-style event) — serving as the prime pick. For ultra-intimate weddings, the Jungle Perch, which accommodates 15 and is cantilevered over the Mossman River, is the go-to.
The setting provides plenty of adventure and cultural experiences for couples and guests, such as guided and self-guided Daintree walks, e-biking through cane fields, kayaking or snorkeling in the Mossman River, coral cay snorkeling, Aboriginal art workshops, sunrise ballooning, helicopter tours, or even golf.
At the Healing Waters Spa, couples can unwind with the signature “Ulysses” treatment — a two-and-a-half-hour ceremony of self-care. Treatments should be booked well in advance. Complimentary yoga is also offered.
Silky Oaks Lodge is open year-round, part of Baillie Lodges and Luxury Lodges of Australia. It’s an 80-minute drive from Cairns Airport, and helicopter transfers can be arranged via Nautilus Aviation.”
