Concrete Playground shares ‘Ten Luxury Stays in Tropical North Queensland Where You’ll Wake up Immersed in Paradise’, noting quintessential luxury Far North Queensland stays. There’s little wonder that Lizard Island, Silky Oaks Lodge and Mt Mulligan Lodge of Luxury Lodges of Australia made the list.

“If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to live in a treehouse, just like Brendan Fraser in George of the Jungle, Silky Oaks Lodge in Mossman is the place to bring that foliage fantasy to life. Wedged between the breathtaking Daintree Rainforest and peaceful Mossman River, Silky Oaks Lodge has six treehouse-inspired stays to choose from so you can sleep among the treetops of the tropics.

Each accomodation option has been designed to embrace the property’s natural surrounds and will indulge your senses in the lush rainforest that truly thrives in summer. If you want to wash off under an outdoor shower, wake up to floor-to-ceiling rainforest views and relax in a bath on your very own private deck while overlooking a cascading river, look sharp to Silky Oaks Lodge. The luxury ecolodge is currently closed for refurbishments and is due to reopen on December 15, 2021.

…If you want to see the Great Barrier Reef without spending hours on a boat, Lizard Island Resort is the ideal place to base yourself. This luxury lodge is quite literally surrounded by the reef meaning you can roll out of bed and right into one of the world’s natural wonders in minutes. But it’s not just its proximity to the reef that lures people to the island.

The all-inclusive accomodation helps take the guesswork out of holiday planning with meals, drinks, snorkelling gear, paddleboards, sea kayaks and more included in your stay. The toughest choice you’ll make during your trip will be deciding which of the opulent day spa treatments will make you feel the most relaxed. If you do want to explore a little further, the resort has an onsite naturalist that hosts guided walks to share the island’s cultural heritage, particularly that of the Traditional Land Owners, Jiogurru of the Dingaal Aboriginal people.

…When you think of Tropical North Queensland, the outback probably doesn’t come to mind. But if you drive 160 kilometres northwest of Cairns to Mt Mulligan Lodge, that’s exactly what you’ll find. As the name suggests, this boutique accomodation overlooks the immense tabletop mountain that is Mount Mulligan.

Here, you can experience an all-inclusive luxury outback stay featuring hikes, all-terrain vehicle adventures, barramundi fishing, stargazing and more. The sprawling 28,000-hectare property ensures all 20 guests it can accommodate have ample privacy during their stay. Plus, each guest room gets a buggy to buzz around the property on, so you can get from your bed to sunset drinks at the bar with ease. Mt Mulligan Lodge has lots of worthy initiatives in place, too, from a waste minimisation program to a partnership with Ganbina to help local Indigenous students secure employment after school. ” – Courtney Ammenhauser, Concrete Playground.
