Silky Oaks Lodge in the Daintree Rainforest has been featured in a list of ‘9 of the world’s best treehouse hotels and lodges’. Body + Soul encourages readers to embrace nature and a spot of forest bathing in these grown-up treehouse lodgings that combine all of the amenities of a luxury hotel, but in seriously unique settings – don’t forget the binoculars.

“Retreat to Daintree rainforest in Northern Queensland at this luxurious idyll overlooking the Mossman River, close to some of the country’s most loved beauty spots.

Nestled amongst ancient rainforest treetops, the lodge boasts 40 well-designed treehouses that fuse timeless tropical elegance with all the essential amenities needed for a well-rounded break. And while it’s all too easy to delight in the peaceful surroundings of the treehouse bedrooms, dining at the hotel’s open-sided restaurant is a highlight in itself.

With a focus on hyperlocal ingredients, many of the herbs, fruits and vegetables used in the dishes are plucked from the thriving on-site kitchen garden, ensuring each meal is not only fresh but truly nourishing.

Offering a wealth of nature-based knowledge, the lodge’s immersive experiences are well worth signing up for, especially the 90-minute Ngadiku Dreamtime Walk, which includes a traditional smoking ceremony to ward off bad spirits.”
