Carla Grossetti, for Australian Traveller, eloquently captures the essence of Silky Oaks Lodge and its harmonious connection to the surrounding landscape. Perched high among the trees where sunlight filters through the lush canopy, Silky Oaks Lodge offers more than just a place to stay; it provides an immersive experience in the heart of the Daintree Rainforest. As part of the prestigious Baillie Lodges portfolio, this property recently underwent a $20 million transformation, emerging as a radiant new gem in Tropical North Queensland’s crown.

Silky Oaks Lodge is situated in a stunning riverside location along the Daintree River, adjacent to the World Heritage-listed Daintree National Park, one of the oldest living rainforests on Earth. This setting offers guests an unparalleled connection to nature, making it an ideal base for exploring the wonders of Far North Queensland.

The lodge features advanced eco-friendly accommodations, including the renowned open-sided Treehouse Restaurant, where guests can enjoy fine dining amidst scenic surroundings. The lodge also includes custom-designed and beautifully furnished range of accommodation, each offering a unique and luxurious experience. Complementing these features is the highly acclaimed Healing Waters Spa, which offers a range of treatments inspired by the tranquil and rejuvenating powers of the rainforest. Silky Oaks Lodge stands as a strikingly beautiful retreat, seamlessly blending luxury and nature to offer an unforgettable escape.

“One of the best things to do when you are staying at the newly reinvented Silky Oaks Lodge is to sit on your balcony, close your eyes and listen. What you’re about to hear is your welcome forest fanfare. From the rippling chirp of the bridled honeyeater to the unmistakable crack of the whipbird, a stay at Silky Oaks Lodge is akin to listening to a Sound Cloud of the ancient rainforest.”
