ESCAPE TO SILKY OAKS LODGE: A Luxurious Rainforest Retreat in the Daintree

Tucked away in the heart of the Daintree Rainforest, Silky Oaks Lodge offers an unparalleled blend of luxury and nature. Just an hour’s drive from Cairns, this exclusive retreat immerses guests in the world’s oldest living rainforest while offering effortless access to one of the world’s most spectacular marine wonders—the Great Barrier Reef.

Perched on the banks of the Mossman River, Silky Oaks Lodge is a sanctuary of serenity, where the sights and sounds of the rainforest create a tranquil escape from the everyday. Floor-to-ceiling windows in the luxury treehouse accommodations blur the line between indoors and out, while private balconies and deep stone baths invite relaxation amidst the lush greenery.

For those seeking adventure, the Daintree offers an extraordinary array of experiences. Guided rainforest walks, wildlife encounters, and Mossman River kayaking reveal the intricate ecosystem of this UNESCO-listed wonder. A short drive brings you to Cape Tribulation, where the rainforest meets the reef in a breathtaking collision of natural beauty. And for those drawn to the Great Barrier Reef, day trips depart from nearby Port Douglas, offering snorkelling and diving in one of the world’s most vibrant marine environments.

Your stay at Silky Oaks Lodge is nothing short of unforgettable. Whether you're unwinding with a spa treatment inspired by Indigenous traditions or exploring the wonders of the reef and rainforest, this is a place where luxury meets nature in perfect harmony.
