Hand-Picked Hotel
Silky Oaks Lodge
If you’ve always dreamed of holing up in a cabin hideaway in the middle of the jungle, you’ll find your perfect match in Silky Oaks Lodge. This clutch of 40 lodges and treehouses is nestled deep in the ancient Daintree Rainforest, giving guests the ultimate back-to-nature experience. That’s not to say you’ll be roughing it here, though – far from it. Silky Oaks reopened in late 2021 following a multi-million-dollar refurbishment, and pairs luxury accommodation with first-class facilities. Meals are served in the open-air Treehouse Restaurant, a fine dining set-up with a soundtrack provided by the gently flowing Mossman River. The hotel has a plant-to-plate philosophy, with lots of ingredients being grown onsite in the kitchen garden. Dishes include coconut-infused breakfast waffles and tempura fish straight from the Great Barrier Reef. The Healing Waters Spa, meanwhile, can be found in the gardens, and is the ultimate in peace and tranquillity. The treatment menu ticks off purifying mud baths, river stone massage and crystal and sound therapies.
