Silky Oaks Lodge

At around 2,600km2 (1,000 sq mi), the Daintree is the largest continuous area of tropical rainforest on the Australian continent. Along the coastline north of the Daintree River, tropical rainforest grows right down to the edge of the sea.

Enveloped by the lush rainforest, guests relax in one of 40 private suites, each a luxurious retreat complete with balcony and hammock ready to sway in the afternoon breeze.

Opening out onto the treetops, the tiered Treehouse Restaurant sets the scene for relaxed fine dining against the heady backdrop of the rainforest and the silky soundtrack of the river mixed with a chorus of birdsong.

Silky Oaks Lodge offers customisable spaces for celebratory events and special occasions, or a stimulating environment for business meetings and conferences. The Marrdja Pavilion is set high above the Mossman River and offers an open-air pavilion for a relaxed meeting or special event.

Guests travel to Silky Oaks Lodge for a first-hand experience of fragile, valuable ecosystems like the Daintree and the Great Barrier Reef. These ecosystems have been under the custodianship of the Kuku Yalanji for some 50,000 years.
