Topping the list for ‘9 reasons Port Douglas Is The Ultimate Summer Destination’ in Qantas Magazine’s Travel Insider is rainforest bolthole Silky Oaks Lodge and the Tropical North Queensland gateway to the Great Barrier Reef and The Daintree.

“By the end of 2021, Australia’s pioneers of barefoot, light-on-the-land luxury, James and Hayley Baillie of Baillie Lodges, will complete the transformation of Silky Oaks Lodge. And like all their other properties around Australia – including Longitude 131° at Uluru and Capella Lodge on Lord Howe Island – it promises to take luxury to another level. A $15-million renovation of the eco-lodge, just 25 minutes drive from Port Douglas, has resulted in 40 treehouse-style suites – some large enough for groups or families – with Mossman River and rainforest backdrops, and artwork from the Yalanji Arts Centre and digital artist Catherine Nelson. Guests will have access to exclusive Daintree and Great Barrier Reef tours with premium operators and the Treehouse Restaurant, headed by chef Mark Godbeer, is set to be a favourite with locals, too.” – Alexandra Carlton, Qantas magazine Travel Insider .
